Real outcomes
It's not the load.
It's the grade.
Structural students lose points for one missing load combination, a moment-shear diagram with sign errors, or seismic design that picked wrong R-value. AskSia catches what your TA catches.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For reinforced concrete I dropped my problem set into AskSia. Got design walked through to ACI 318 standards. Aced the beam reinforcement calculation on the final.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The Mock Exam mode generated FE Civil structural problems auto graded with formulas referenced. Caught a Mohr's circle interpretation error in practice, not the real exam.
Why AskSia
Lecture, design studio, problem
set, exam prep.
Phone for a quick code section lookup. Laptop in SAP2000 or ETABS. Extension pulling McCormac from your LMS. Desktop agent over your seismic analysis at midnight. One structural library, four surfaces.

Multi-doc Q&A across struct eng readings with page-level citations
Convert any struct eng source to Note, Map, Cards, Quiz
Real-time collaboration on shared struct eng maps
Mobile App
Structural review on the way to studio
iOS and Android. Photograph a structural drawing, a moment diagram, or your handwritten seismic calculation. AskSia returns the analysis with codes correctly applied.
Snap-and-solve any struct eng problem
Live struct eng lecture record, transcribe, translate
Daily struct eng spaced-repetition review queue
Browser Extension
Structural materials, synced
The Chrome extension adds a Sync button on Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle. Your structural syllabus, problem sets, ACI/AISC code sections pull into one library.
Works with all 5 major university LMSs
Read-only, never writes to your LMS
Structural Engineering module structure preserved, folders auto-built
Desktop Study Agent
Cmd+Space over SAP2000, ETABS, or your textbook
Native macOS and Windows. AskSia summons over SAP2000, ETABS, RISA, your McCormac PDF, or your problem set. Reads selection and returns structural analysis.
Global hotkey while studying struct eng
Reads your struct eng selection, screenshot, clipboard
Works offline after first launch
Everything in one place
12 study tools built
for structural engineering.
Stop juggling SAP2000 for analysis, ACI/AISC code for provisions, ChatGPT for seismic (that confuses ASCE 7 with ASCE 41), and your TA's office hours. AskSia is one workspace.
Structural lecture transcription
Record your structural engineering lecture. 40+ languages, sub-100ms latency, structural terminology and code references preserved.
OpenStructural multi-source Q&A
Drop McCormac, Salmon, ACI 318, AISC, your problem sets, and 80 papers. Ask 'why does this beam need stirrups at this spacing' and AskSia answers with code-cited proof.
OpenStructural analysis walker
Walks moment-shear diagrams, beam deflections, and frame analysis with proper sign conventions. Catches the indeterminate structure errors.
OpenYouTube to structural notes
Paste any AISC, ACI webinar, structural engineering lecture URL. AskSia transcribes, chapterizes, pulls the worked examples into a clean note.
OpenStructural Mock Exam mode
Adaptive practice for structural coursework, PE Structural exam (vertical and lateral), and SE recruiting interviews. Mock Exam mode times you in real PE conditions.
OpenSia Note for structural blocks
Turns McCormac chapter on beam design into one note: principle, code provision, worked example, common pitfall, exam-style problem.
OpenCode-compliant design writer
Drafts structural calculations and design memos with ACI/AISC code provisions properly cited.
OpenStructural flashcards · FSRS
Auto-built decks: structural shapes, load combinations, ACI/AISC provisions, seismic concepts. FSRS spacing tuned to your PE exam.
OpenStructural concept map
The whole curriculum as a navigable tree from statics through dynamic structural analysis. Each concept linked back to code section.
OpenAI tutor for structural engineering
Voice-first or text. Walk through moment redistribution three different ways, drill ACI 318 provisions, or explain why R-values matter in seismic design.
