Calcs.com overview

What is Calcs.com?

Calcs.com (formerly ClearCalcs) is structural engineering calculation

software that keeps every input, formula, and code reference visible inside the calculation. Reviewers inspect the logic instead of trusting a number.

Design and check the whole structure, from the roof down to the foundations. Beams, columns, frames, footings, connections, retaining walls, and full load paths run across 200+ standards-aligned calculators, in metric or imperial units. Coverage includes US (IBC, AISC, ACI, NDS), Australia and New Zealand (AS/NZS), Canada (NBCC), and Eurocode. Calculators are updated when the standards change, so nobody is tracking amendments in a spreadsheet.

Load linking carries reactions between connected members. Change a load at one level and the rest of the load path updates, with the trail still visible.

Reports export with inputs, assumptions, and code references attached. Checks are color coded, so a client or a checker sees what governs without reading every line.

Calcs.com runs in the browser. Work saves as you go and opens on any machine, so a project moves between office and site without file versions to reconcile. Used by solo practitioners through to multi-office firms. Start a free trial and run one of your live projects through it.

Pros
“I wish there were a tutorial that would show: "This is how the size of an 8' Glulam is determined that has 15' - 2x6 ceiling joists @ 16" on center on the left side and 13' - 2x10 ceiling joists on the right side.”
