Why direct import is not available

Enercalc uses a proprietary file format that does not export to standard formats, so there is no file to import into Calcs.com. The practical path is to rebuild your standard templates in Calcs.com. Most engineers report this takes a day or two, and it results in cleaner, linked workflows than they had before.

​
Start with your standard templates

Do not try to move everything at once. List the calculations your office actually repeats. That is usually a short set: a few beam types, a column, a footing, and a connection or two. Rebuild those first in Calcs.com. Most engineers report that rebuilding a core set takes a day or two.

​
Rebuild as linked calculations, not separate sheets

The rebuild is a chance to improve the structure rather than copy it. Calcs.com connects calculations through live load paths, so a beam reaction can feed the column that supports it. See Linking Loads and Reactions Between Calculators. Engineers who rebuild this way end up with a connected project rather than a folder of independent sheets. Change a load at the top and the members below it update.

​
Check coverage before you commit

Run two or three recent jobs through Calcs.com and compare the results against your Enercalc output. It confirms that your standard member types, materials, and regional standards are covered. It also builds confidence in the numbers before you rely on them. A free trial is the usual way to do this. See Start Your 14-Day Free Trial.

​
Keep Enercalc running during the changeover

There is no need to switch off Enercalc on day one. Most teams run both for a period, then retire the old calculations once the rebuilt versions have been used on real jobs. See Migrating from Spreadsheets for how to run both side by side. If a calculation you rely on does not appear to have an equivalent, email support@calcs.com before assuming it is missing.

Calcs.com covers ASCE 7, NDS, AISC 360, ACI 318, and other major US structural codes. See Standards Available for the full list. If you have a specific code or member type you rely on, contact us before switching. We can confirm coverage or give you a timeline for when it will be available.
No. Calcs.com is a cloud platform and requires an internet connection. The benefit is that your calculations are accessible from any device, and your team can collaborate in real time without managing local installs. See System Requirements.
Yes. ClearCalcs became Calcs.com in 2025. It is the same product, built by the same team, under a new name. See ClearCalcs Is Now Calcs.com.
