SectionCalc© is groundbreaking software that enables you to calculate section properties of any standard, custom, or built-up profile in any CAD application with unprecedented ease, speed, and accuracy.

How does SectionCalc work?

Calculating section properties with SectionCalc is easy as 1, 2, and 3.

1. Save profile geometry of the section in CAD in DXF standard file format.

2. Start SectionCalc and simply load the DXF file.

3. See results in seconds.

Following section properties are simultaneously calculated and displayed:

• Area
• Perimeter
• Centroid location (x and y co-ordinates)
• Moments of Inertia (Ixx, Iyy)
• Product of Inertia
• Polar Moments of Inertia
• Distance of neutral axis from extremes (Cx and Cy)
• Radius of gyration (kx and ky)
• Section Modulus (Sx and Sy)

Results can be saved in CSV standard format for report generation.

SectionCalc key Benefits

• Accepts any standard, custom, or built-up section
• No manual data entry – works directly with CAD geometry
• Automatically detects holes, islands, and nested regions
• Automatically aligns results to centroid of section
• Automatically sets results to CAD system units (metric, inches, feet)
• Answers with up to 9 decimal place precision (user selectable)
• Save results in CSV file format (readable by Excel)
• Start using in less than five minutes

SectionCalc can be used on any computer running Vista, XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.
