Overview

About the Calculator

The ClearCalcs Wind Load Calculator to ASCE 7-16 makes it easy to perform in depth wind analysis to US codes in only minutes. With support for simple or complex site criteria, the wind calculator provides a deep range of customisation options to provide fast results, and in depth customisation where required.

Easy to use portal frame analysis with FEA engine

Analyze a single or multi-bay 2D portal frame in any material in minutes with the ClearCalcs Portal Frame Analysis Wizard calculator. The calculator performs a full FEA analysis of moment, shear, axial loads, and displacement for portal frames.

Portal frame analysis software for common types of portal frames

The ClearCalcs Portal Frames Analysis Wizard supports common types of portal frames such as flat, gable, arch, and tied portal frames.

Portal frame calculator with easy-to-use inputs

Easily input common geometry of portal frames, such as the number of repeated bays within the portal frame, the bay and total frame width, leg height, and applied loads to get results in minutes.

Portal frames shear, moment, and deflection calculation in minutes

ClearCalcs will automatically determine nodes and fixicities, and perform a full FEA analysis to determine the shear, moment, and deflection of the portal frame.

Complete your portal frame design with wood or steel design only templates

Use the values generated from Portal Analysis Wizard and link to the Wood or Steel Member (Design Only) calculator to complete your portal frames design in ClearCalcs.

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Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.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