How to Try or Buy ASDIP Structural Engineering Software
You can evaluate ASDIP before paying by starting the free 15-day software trial offered on asdipsoft.com, and you can purchase through the site's "How to Buy" entry, which connects to a shopping cart. If you already have a cloud account, log in at cloud.asdipsoft.com/login instead of creating a new trial. The trial and the purchase path are separate: the trial is for testing modules, the cart is for licensing.
Start with the free 15-day trial
The site presents a "FREE 15-Day Software Trial" and a "START YOUR FREE TRIAL" action on the main page. This is the intended first step for anyone who wants to check whether the modules fit their work before committing.
What to expect during the trial:
- You get access to the ASDIP SUITE, which groups the individual product lines.
- The trial is time-limited to 15 days, so plan which modules you actually need to test.
- No pricing figures are published in the page evidence, so treat cost as something to confirm at the purchase stage rather than assume.
A practical approach is to pick one real project per module family and run it end to end, since the software is positioned around analyzing, designing, and optimizing members "in less time."
Log in if you already have a cloud account
Existing users are directed to a cloud login rather than the trial signup:
https://cloud.asdipsoft.com/login
Use this if you have previously created an account. Starting a new trial when you already have credentials is unnecessary.
What you can test across the suite
ASDIP is organized into product lines, each with multiple modules. Knowing the module counts helps you decide how much of the 15 days you need.
| Product | Modules | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| ASDIP CONCRETE | 6 | Continuous beams, biaxial columns, one-way slabs, shear walls, two-way slabs, out-of-plane loaded concrete or masonry bearing walls |
| ASDIP FOUNDATION | 6 | Concrete spread footings, combined irregular footings, strap footings, wall footings, pile caps, non-linear pile foundation analysis & design |
| ASDIP RETAIN | 5 | Concrete/block cantilever retaining walls, restrained basement walls, sheet piling, counterfort retaining walls, gravity retaining walls |
| ASDIP STEEL | 6 | Base plates, anchor rods, shear lugs, biaxial columns, steel/composite beams, web openings, shear & moment connections |
| ASDIP WOOD | 4 | Wood continuous beams, wood biaxial columns, wood bearing walls, wood multistory shear walls |
| ASDIP ANALYSIS | 4 | Analysis of structural members such as beams, plus load generation for seismic, snow, and wind loads |
The site states the software supports the latest codes in the USA and Canada, which is the main condition to check against your project's jurisdiction.
Try the free calculators first
If you only need a single check rather than a full design workflow, the site offers standalone free tools:
- Beam Calculator
- Concrete Footing Calculator
- Base Plate Calculator
- Retaining Wall Calculator
These are useful for verifying a hand calculation or for getting a feel for the interface before committing to the 15-day trial.
Buying and licensing
The purchase path runs through a "How to Buy" page and a shopping cart on the site. The page evidence shows a cart displaying "$0.00" with no products, which confirms the cart exists but does not reveal prices.
Conditions to confirm at purchase time, since the page evidence does not state them:
- Actual license pricing per product or for the suite.
- Whether licensing is perpetual, subscription, or node-locked — the site mentions "LICENSING OPTIONS" and a "Maintenance Plan" but does not detail terms here.
- Whether the trial converts directly into a paid license or requires a separate purchase.
Who this fits
The site lists structural and civil engineers, architects, bridge designers, contractors, engineering students, and steel fabricators among its users. If your work involves repeated member design across concrete, foundations, retaining walls, steel, or wood, the suite structure lets you license only the product lines you need rather than the whole set. If you need a one-off calculation, the free calculators may be enough without a trial.
