Digital Canal is proud to provide the design and build industry with a myriad of helpful tools, and our light gauge steel design software is the latest offering in our suite of products.

Just like the many other digital tools that we provide, this new addition to our arsenal provides, engineers, architects builders and other professionals with the opportunity to quickly and easily design individual cold-formed steel flexural and axial members.

With this light gauge steel design software, you are also able to check existing members for existing loads. Through a clean, simple user interface, you are able to leverage a cutting-edge innovation to make designing and building with cold-formed steel much easier.

Explore the power of our light gauge steel design software

Light gauge steel is a very commonly found material in building projects of all kinds. Thanks to its lightweight nature, durability and environmentally friendly nature, it’s becoming the material of choice in many instances.

With our light gauge steel design software, you are able to take advantage of three different design modes: LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design), ASD (Allowable Strength Design) and LSD (Limited Strength Design).

Everything is designed and checked in compliance with Cold Formed Steel Design Manual 2017 and in conjunction with AISI S100-16 specifications.

The resulting reports from our light gauge steel design software are clean, easy-to-read and thorough. With load, moment, shear and deflection diagrams, these reports will also contain equations used in the calculations and make reference to AISI codes. Reports are available in both PDF and RTF formats for easy handling.
