vs 2–4 hours with traditional methods

Directional Intelligence

Wind direction actually changes the load distribution across corners. See realistic results based on real wind angles.

Smart Assist

Automatically recommends proper pretension, panel layout, and fabric compensation based on wind speed and sail complexity.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don’t.

A complete wind engineering toolkit built specifically for shade sail design.

Live Wind Speed & Direction

Interactive controls with real-time updates. Includes a mini sail plan view so you can visualize direction relative to your geometry.

Directional Corner Loads

Corner reactions automatically adjust based on wind direction. No more assuming symmetric loads.

Smart Hardware Recommendations

Automatic suggestions for turnbuckle sizes (M8–M20) and pole diameters based on calculated loads and safety factors.

Smart Assist Engine

Automatically upgrades pretension, use case, panel layout, and hem allowance as wind speed increases. Includes revert logic.

Professional PDF Reports

Generates clean "Sail Details & Engineering" reports with 3D views, FEA heatmap, structural summary, and dimensions.

Dynamic & Reversible

Change wind speed or direction and everything updates instantly. Smart Assist recommendations automatically revert when conditions improve.
