SARD takes a steel or timber frame from 3D model to stamped calculation report and DXF drawings, checked to AISC, Eurocode and the UK National Annex.
Windows & macOS · works offline · no cloud account needed
One model feeds the analysis, the member checks, the connections and the footings — no re-entering geometry between tools.
Direct 3D frame solver with second-order (direct analysis) and automatic load combinations you can edit.
AISC 360, Eurocode 3 and UK NA checks for I-sections, hollow, angles, tees, double angles and cold-formed purlins.
Bolted moment end-plates, base plates with anchors (ACI 318 Ch.17) and cold-formed seam welds.
Automatic wind on walls and roof for enclosed buildings, and member-by-member on open structures.
Isolated spread footings to SBC 304 — bearing, overturning, punching and one-way shear, with reinforcement.
Clean calculation reports with every clause reference, plus DXF drawings of the model and connections.
Every paid plan is licensed per engineer and works offline once activated.

Paste the licence key you receive by email. Activation is saved on your device.
Model the frame, run the checks, and export the report and drawings.
No. After you activate your key once, SARD runs fully offline. Your models and libraries stay on your device.
AISC 360-16, Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1 and 1-3) with the UK National Annex, ACI 318-19 for anchors, SBC 304 for footings, and NDS 2024 for timber. Lite is limited to AISC.
The software runs on your machine, not in the cloud. A subscription keeps your licence current; the app keeps working between checks so a brief outage won't stop you mid-project.
No. SARD is a design aid. The engineer of record is responsible for checking all inputs and results before relying on them.
