Structural engineers and detailers use this page to compare analysis, connection design, and shop drawings. The cards show which listings exchange a BIM model and which ones produce fabrication drawings. Windows is on nearly every card. The browser shows up on some cards, and macOS is rare.
Tekla Structures is enterprise quote for constructible steel, precast, and rebar models, plus shop and erection drawings, on Windows. Dlubal RFEM 6 is a paid trial on Windows for 3D structural analysis and BIM model exchange, with public prices. IDEA StatiCa is the paid Windows listing for steel connections and code checks, also with public prices. Enji.io is freemium on the web, Windows, and macOS for member checks. StruBIM Suite by CYPE is freemium on Windows for structural analysis, steel detailing, and concrete design.
A few are free to open, and most are paid or quoted. Several say enterprise quote. Analysis, connection design, and shop drawings are separate jobs, so use the task list before you treat two cards as the same product.

Enji.io is freemium on the web, Windows, and macOS for member checks and spreadsheet automation. StruBIM Suite by CYPE is freemium too, on Windows, and it covers analysis, steel detailing, and concrete design. Tekla Structures, Dlubal RFEM 6, and IDEA StatiCa do not include a free tier.
Tekla Structures is an enterprise quote Windows listing. The tasks include steel assemblies, precast cast units, concrete pours, general arrangement and rebar drawings, and IFC export. Uses include shop drawings and erection sequencing. No package price is printed because the pricing type is enterprise quote.
Windows is on nearly every structural card. Dlubal RFEM 6, IDEA StatiCa, SCIA Engineer, and MIDAS Gen all list it. Inside this hub, SCIA Engineer is filed as a subscription, and MIDAS Gen is the enterprise quote solver. Dlubal RFEM 6 is the paid trial in that pair, and IDEA StatiCa is the paid listing. Both print a public price. Calcs.com stays in the browser.
macOS is rare on this page. Enji.io lists macOS along with the web and Windows. DARACOR by Vavetek lists macOS along with Windows, iOS, and Android, and it is enterprise quote for reinforcement review. The analysis solvers and Tekla Structures do not list macOS.
Dlubal RFEM 6 and SCIA Engineer lean to analysis. IDEA StatiCa and Qnect lean to connections. Qnect is a paid trial on Windows for connection modeling and shop drawing prep. Tekla Structures and SDS2 lean to fabrication models and drawings. SDS2 is enterprise quote on Windows. Then check the pricing type. Several structural listings are enterprise quote.
