## What is MacCiv?

MacCiv is the world's first Apple-native structural engineering app — a fast, beautiful finite-element tool for analyzing 2D and 3D frames right on your iPhone and soon on Mac

Build a structure, hit Solve, and instantly read the internal forces and deformations: axial, shear, bending-moment and torsion diagrams, support reactions and deflected shapes. No clunky desktop software, no steep learning curve — just a clean, intuitive interface designed for the way you think.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
 • Draw beams and columns, place supports (fixed, pinned, roller, hinge) and apply loads (distributed, point, trapezoidal, moments)
 • Solve full 3D frames with a real finite-element engine
 • Read coloured N / shear / moment / torsion diagrams drawn on the tension side, plus reactions and displacements
 • Switch between concrete, steel and wood members — each with proper material classes (EC2 / EC3 / EC5)
 • View your model as a true 3D solid, with steel shown as I-beams
 • See the seismic centre of mass and centre of stiffness for each structure

BUILT FOR STUDENTS
 • Teaching mode: leave a load blank and MacCiv shows the answer as a formula (qL²/8, PL/4, …) instead of a number — perfect for learning statics
 • Metric and imperial units
 • Available in 9 languages

NATIVE EVERYWHERE
MacCiv is designed from the ground up for Apple platforms — it looks and feels right on macOS, iPhone and iPad, with full multitouch and a navigation cube for orbiting your model.

FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE
MacCiv is free to use, supported by occasional ads. Prefer a clean, ad-free experience? Unlock MacCiv Pro with a single one-time purchase — it removes ads on all your devices, forever.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-01

- UI improvements
- Animate deformed structures
- Export in PDF
- Bug fixes

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-24

- Rotate supports to any angle — inclined rollers (e.g. 45°) now act as real structural constraints, not just visual rotations.
- Beams and columns start material-free — work in pure statics by default, then add concrete, steel or wood whenever you want.
- Teaching mode now scales symbolic loads — set 2P, P/2, 3P/2 and more, typed as simple equations.
- Place multiple point loads on a single member, and snap them precisely onto nodes.
- Switch between Metric and Imperial right from the start and grid screens, with corrected kip/kip·ft labels.
- Clearer force diagrams — crisp vertical steps at point loads, labelled peak and spike dots, and precise values on hover.
- Refined typography and various fixes throughout.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-06-19

No release notes.
