Welcome to Digital Canal, the industry standard for industry-leading CFS design analysis software. Cold-formed steel members and assemblies are being used with greater frequency than ever before in building projects around the world.

That’s because more and more architects, engineers and builders are noticing the lightweight, but strong and durable qualities of this material. As cold-formed steel is used more within building projects, Digital Canal found it prudent to create CFS design analysis software that would streamline the process of designing a member for loading and checking existing members for existing loads.

It’s here — and we’re ready for you to try it out!

About our CFS design analysis software

With the power of our digital tool, you can design individual CFS members that are in compliance with Cold Formed Steel Design Manual 2017 and in conjunction with AISI S100-16 specifications.

Our CFS design analysis software provides a handy sections database that you can also add to if it is a standard AISI shape. Using WPF technology, this software comes with an ultra-simple user interface that makes it easy for all professionals to learn and utilize on a day-to-day basis.

It also provides you with three different design methods:

• LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design)
• ASD (Allowable Strength Design)
• LSD (Limited Strength Design)

With our CFS design analysis software, you are able to export information to a clean concise report.

These reports can be exported in both PDF and RTF formats and they contain all the equations used to make the calculations and will reference AISI codes. Reports can include load, moment, shear and deflection diagrams. You can easily print these reports or send them digitally.
