Structural Engineering Calculation Software | Since 1982

ENERCALC Structural Engineering Software

64 modules. One interface. Built the way you already think.

 

ENERCALC handles 90% of your structural engineering design work: beams, columns, foundations, walls, earth retention, wind, snow, seismic, and more. Steel, wood, concrete, masonry, and composite, all in the same project.

Small projects of 5 stories or fewer dominate the structures built nationwide. This is the work ENERCALC was built for.

Every module follows the same layout. Inputs on the left, results on the right. Change a value, watch it recalculate. The consistency means learning one module teaches you all of them, the same way muscle memory works in a sport you’ve trained for.

Your calculations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and reference docs all live together in one project file. No hunting through folders. No reassembling a project from scattered files and folders when you need to revisit it a year later.

Pricing:

ENERCALC: $1699 per year for 2 simultaneous users, OR $199 per month for 2 simultaneous users
SEL-EARTH: $499 per year for 2 simultaneous users. Includes only our 7 earth-retention structure / retaining wall modules

    Six fundamental properties of ENERCALC intended to make complex design work simpler and easier:

    Diverse calculation
    types & materials

    Steel, wood, concrete, masonry, and composite in the same project. Switch materials without switching software. Beams, columns, walls, foundations, earth-retention structures, and analysis modules.

    Easy Tabular Navigation

    Every module follows the same layout: inputs on the left, results on the right. Learn one, you’ve learned them all

    Real-time Graphics

    See your design update in real time as you change inputs. Catch errors visually before they reach a submittal.

    Simple Intuitive Inputs

    Fill in what you know. ENERCALC handles the code lookups, load combinations, and iteration

    Detailed Calculations

    Detailed intermediate values, Excel intermediate value exports, and more.

    Project Based Organization

    Group your calcs, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and reference docs in one project file. No more hunting through folders

    Calculation Modules

    Review the details of our calculation modules by type:
    Beams, Columns, Foundations, Walls, Earth-Retention, Analysis, and Miscellaneous.

    Material / Section Databases

    ENERCALC provides databases of all typical rolled steel sections, sawn wood and engineered lumber sections, material grades for steel and wood and small databases for concrete block and rebar.

    Reporting

    ENERCALC software provides well designed calculation reports for all of its modules.

    The goal of our reports is to provide clarity and efficiency.

    This benefits the reviewing engineer and governmental plan check reviewer by providing well laid out, concise and thorough report that details the structural design.
