Structural tools

Simple tools for structural analysis and design.

tenstr builds focused, free tools for practising structural engineers — clear inputs, code-based checks, and calculation reports you can follow line by line.

tenstr is pronounced “ten-ster”.

Approach

01

Simple

Only the inputs that matter, laid out the way an engineer thinks about the problem.

02

Traceable

Every result comes with the calculation behind it, with code clauses, so it can be checked and filed.

03

Free

The core tools are free to use. Feedback from engineers decides what gets built next.
