SkyCiv is excited to announce the official launch of their Structural Design and Analysis API. The API gives SkyCiv users a new way to access analysis, modelling and design calculations, making it possible to incorporate their tools into your very own software. If you're not familiar with SkyCiv, they are the cloud equivalent Structural Analysis software. Following the release of their mobile app earlier this year, they continue to charge ahead of traditional software, setting a high standard for the future of engineering software.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a common tool used in other industries which allows the user to access the software's services without going through the browser (or any user-interface). This becomes very handy if you are creating your own software but would rather outsource some tasks to save you writing code that someone else has spent years writing.
The SkyCiv API gives users direct access to an extensive list of functions. From their API documentation, the software has the following capabilities:
For example, if you specialized in the design of portal frame sheds, it’s likely that you often create very similar designs where differences would include things such as the clients requirements or even the local wind pressures. Instead, you could create a tool that takes in certain parameters to generate a model of the shed. Once you are ready to analyze, design or even simply view a render of your model, you can send it to the SkyCiv API. You can even specify the address to have the wind pressures calculated to the local standard.
Similarly, SkyCiv’s API can check thousands of variations to optimize a structure in moments rather than days, identifying the most cost effective solution and allowing engineers to focus their time elsewhere. Another application would be migrating data from other platforms or integrating with other software.
SkyCiv Sandbox environment lets you test API calls quickly
