introducing snare.
Snare brings your structural calculations, reports, design codes and tools into one place, with you in control of every decision.
The engineers who designed the landmark structures we see today worked with pencil and paper. In the digital age, whether you are a company of one, a small practice or a large organisation, you deserve a structural engineering platform that goes further. It should run calculations, explain the theory behind them, and align fully with current design codes.
Snare is that platform.
Built entirely on Eurocodes, you can confidently analyse and design concrete, steel, and timber structures across the well-known families of beams, columns, floors, walls, trusses, girders and a range of other classic structural elements.
Behind every design calculation sits a rigorous knowledge hub, giving you a deep dive into the full theory behind each check. The goal is to produce a result and give you full transparency in how that result was reached, with full code references.
Using plain conversational-style text, you can develop a first pass on a design, check your sizing, or explore a structural engineering topic quickly and without friction. You can also develop the structural design and have it reviewed or optimised.
A modern, robust platform, built on these three pillars.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.Leonardo da Vinci
One home for all your structural engineering tools.
Each design module allows you to tailor the key inputs, run calculations to Eurocodes, and view results of all design checks. You can continue to refine and tweak the design, with the help of the design assistant.
The spreadsheet you've refined over the years now becomes a custom module in Snare. It's always there, wherever you are. You can run the calculations alongside the standard library, which now grows with you.
Each design module is underpinned by a comprehensive knowledge hub, clearly laying out the engineering principles and equations that produced the results you see, alongside clause references and practical guidance.
Describe what you're working on in plain English. Snare will pick the right module, pull out your inputs and run the same calculations the modules do. You can then refine or dive into a technical discussion.
Snare gives you full traceability by laying out the calculations like a senior engineer. Every analysis method, input and equation is described clearly, with references to Eurocode at each step. The final PDF is ready to issue.
Use the in-built editor to write your narrative, add your PDF calculations in the places you need them, and insert diagrams, model screenshots and tables. Then compile and download the full PDF report, ready to issue.
From a quick first pass to your own trusted methods, you're at the wheel.

See the design modules in SnareSnare is a vision that Ajay has for the way structural engineers can work. This vision has been shaped over the last 7 years. He and his team have now made this vision reality. Every calculation, every design code reference and every feature has been carefully chosen by practising engineers who use these tools on live projects, every day.
"Every engineer should have access to a modern and adaptable design platform, as much as they have access to a pen, paper and calculator."Read the origin story
