  • Code-Compliant Structural Analysis – Support for IBC, NDS, ACI, AISC, and ASCE 7 load combinations, with metric calculations.
  • Clear Reports – Generate detailed, print-ready reports in Spanish using metric units.
  • No Manual Conversions – Avoid errors and wasted time from unit translation.

The Importance of Language and Unit Accessibility

Structural professionals around the world rely on precise calculations to ensure safety, efficiency, and code compliance in every project. That’s why StruCalc is proud to announce its latest update: our structural analysis software is now available in Spanish and fully supports metric units. Whether you’re looking for a metric beam analysis tool, a metric calculator for structural members, or structural analysis software in Spanish, StruCalc now has you covered. Not every engineer works in feet and inches—and not every engineer speaks English. By offering StruCalc in both metric units and Spanish, we’re making it easier for professionals in Latin America, Europe, and other international markets to run accurate structural calculations without conversions or translation hurdles. Whether you’re designing in millimeters or meters, StruCalc helps you run compliant, reliable calculations that meet global design standards.

How To Implement Spanish & Metric

Anyone running version 2.7.8 and on will have the ability to change the units to metric in the project settings. The language setting is in the applications settings menu. 

Who Is This Update For?

This new capability is perfect for:

  • Engineers working in metric-only jurisdictions
  • Spanish-speaking design professionals seeking localized tools
  • Students and educators in international structural engineering programs
  • Contractors and builders who want calculation clarity and speed in the field

Whether you’re working on metric beam analysismetric footing design, or wall bracing with metric loads, StruCalc provides the tools you need to get the job done right.

Common Use Cases for Metric Structural Analysis

Engineers can now use StruCalc’s metric version for:

  • Metric Beam Calculations – Bending, shear, deflection, and reaction calculations for concrete, steel, and wood beams.
  • Metric Joist Layouts – Proper spacing and span checks in mm or m.
  • Footings and Foundations in Metric – Calculate bearing pressure, embedment, and reinforcement in metric units.
  • Wall and Column Loads – Analyze CMU, concrete, and stud walls under metric axial and lateral loads.
  • Retaining Wall Design in Metric – Calculate active pressure and overturning resistance in kN/m².
