This feature is now available in 2 versions:

1. Standalone - enter in your own design forces and section dimensions to get pass fail. Available via Dashboard - Quick Design
2. Structural 3D - automatically imports all loads, section properties, materials and dimensions. Section Database for ADM has also been added, along with ADM materials in the material database.

You can also see an example video/tutorial of this in action via the following example link:
skyciv.com/examples/aluminum-structural-design/

Both versions contain detailed design reports. Please comment below if you have any questions or feedback with this module, otherwise we hope you enjoy this feature!

Would like to add aluminum design using the ADM 2010 aluminum code in the 3D member design. Right now, S3D can model and analyze in aluminum but it cannot run code checks so those have to be done by hand which can be very time consuming.

Hi Clayton,

We have recently built an aluminum check feature for Australian Standards (AS1664) which we are currently testing. The plan is to test this more and then add the US aluminum code based on the same code base. I can give you early access to the AS1664 if that helps? You'll have to convert your model to metric for it to work but should produce some results you might be able to use
