Overview

About the Calculator

Designing and analyzing trusses shouldn’t be a manual process. With the ClearCalcs Truss Analysis Calculator, structural engineers can solve 2D truss systems faster and more accurately. Whether you're checking forces in steel, wood, or custom members, our calculator provides instant axial force results, joint deflections, and support reactions with a clean, visual interface. Perfect for quick design iterations or validating spreadsheet results, without the complexity of finite element modeling software.

Fast axial force and reaction calculations

Instantly solve for axial forces and support reactions in any 2D truss system. Save time validating member capacity or sizing new designs.

Quickly analyze common types of trusses

ClearCalcs Truss Analysis Calculator analyzes common truss types such as Flat Trusses, Roof Trusses, Scissors Trusses, Mono Trusses and other types (Gambrel Truss, Hip Truss).

Support for custom geometry and materials

Model any truss layout with custom nodes, members, support types, and materials—including steel, wood, and manufacturer-specific sections.

Mixed load types and load cases

Apply point loads, UDLs, or self-weight to any member. Use load combinations to analyze service and ultimate conditions with ease.

Complete your truss design with wood or steel design only templates

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

Export reports with transparent workings

Generate beautiful PDF reports that show calculations, inputs, diagrams, and solver details, perfect for submittals, plan check, or team handoff.

Presets

Ready-Made Configuration to Save You Time

A preset is a ready-made configuration that instantly sets up a structural calculation with commonly used parameters, materials, and load scenarios. Each preset is tailored to specific use cases like floor joists, roof girders, or deck beams.

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Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.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