What it does

Unlike traditional structural software that requires installation and licence management, AutoCalcs runs directly in the browser and can be tried without an account. It combines interactive 3D beam, frame, truss, and plate modelling with linear, P-Delta, buckling, and modal analysis, visual results, and hot-rolled steel design checks. Cloud saving, share links, model validation, and PDF/Excel reporting keep the workflow in one place.

3D structural analysis with integrated steel design checks to AISC 360-16/22, Eurocode 3, AS 4100, and CSA S16-19. Linear, P-Delta, buckling & modal FEA. Browser-based, instant access.

Model, analyse, and design 3D structures in your browser with linear, P-Delta, buckling, modal analysis and steel member design checks. Run modal and buckling analyses, then animate mode shapes and stability results directly in the viewport. Start immediately with no signup. Scale up as your projects grow. * $29.99/month when billed annually, or $39.99 month-to-month. Benchmarked solver. Full calculations for every design check. Benchmarked against textbook and published solutions. See the results Every design check exports a PDF with each equation shown, not just a pass or fail. Open the app and build your first model - no signup, no licence, nofrom autocalcs.com

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
