ENERCALC - Calculation Modules

All modules in the currently available build conform to:

• IBC 2021 / 2018 / 2015
• CBC 2019 / 2016
• ASCE 7-16 / 7-10
• ACI 318-19 / 318-14
• ACI 530-13

The calculation module list is an ever-expanding set of structural calculations that provide analysis and design for the elements of a building. As requests are received from our users we develop additional modules…..and make use of the proven steel, concrete, timber, finite element analysis, and other engineering “solvers” we have developed.
