Overview

About the Calculator

Design and analyse cold-formed steel studs and columns to AISI S100-2016 using the ClearCalcs cold-formed steel column calculator. With a database of common American light gauge and cold formed sections, the calculator enables the easy modelling of axial loading on a cold-formed steel column with support for variable strong axis, weak axis, and torsional bracing.

Quick cold-formed steel design to aisi s100-2016

Design and analyze cold-formed and light gauge steel beam and column design to AISI S100-2016.

Quick and easy modeling with cold-formed steel presets

A handy range of presets that reduce repetitive data entry and improve accuracy for any type of cold-formed steel beams and studs, including cold-formed steel roof, rafters, hip, and valley.

Easily link loads and reactions between beams and columns

Support for dynamic load linking between beams and columns. No need to manually copy and paste reactions between calculations!

Why ClearCalcs?

Frustration to Flow

See how ClearCalcs transforms structural calculations from a tedious, error-prone chore into an efficient, stress-free process.

With spreadsheets and clunky software

Frustration, fuss, and fragile formulas—the old way of engineering calculations that holds you back

Struggle with endless spreadsheets and custom formulas.

Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.

Triple-check and verify manual input at every turn.

Old software feels like a maze, with unclear settings, limited templates, and rigid interfaces.

With ClearCalcs

Effortless, efficient engineering calculations at your fingertips.

100+ pre-built calculators for different materials.

Every calculation comply with the latest codes and standards.

Forget the worry of “black box” calculations; verify calculators with inline formulas, codes, and checks.

Intuitive tools built to your workflow, plus unmatched customer support.

How It Works

Your code-compliant calculator

Tired of complex calculations? ClearCalcs Calculator Library keeps it simple, secure and code-compliant – so you can calculate with confidence.

Save time with ready-to-use templates for wood, steel, and concrete

ClearCalcs offers an extensive library of easy-to-use calculators for beams, columns, and footings, designed to make structural calculations simpler and faster.

Choose from a wide range of pre-configured beam and column options, complete with automatic member sizing, so you can quickly reach reliable designs and reduce rework.

Beams

Columns

Foundations

Walls

Loads

Dynamically track your load paths from roof to foundation

No need to copy and paste reactions between calculations! If the top calculator's reactions change, the loads being inherited onto the lower calculator will update automatically. This includes all loads such as dead, live, snow, seismic, and wind.

Submit professional reports for permit review

ClearCalcs is not only easy to use, but also easy to check! All calculations follow an easy to understand traffic light check system, with multiple levels of detail available giving you the choice of printing every step of the calculation and all code and standard references, or simply a compact, one-page print out.
