Abstract
“Cloud computing” describes an innovative use of computing resources that are delivered as a service over a network, typically Internet. Today, structure analysis that requires high performance calculation has not been fully “migrated” to the Internet environment, structural software is usually developed as a desktop program against the current trend of the computer market. In this paper, the architecture of a structural analysis web application will be presented. This application, which would be a package of web services as SaaS (Software as a Service), will consist of 4 modules: a 3D modeler, a structural analysis solver, a structural design solver and a graphic documentation render. Also, current tools to develop this service as cloud application will be presented. Finally, a preliminary version of the CAD module, which generates graphical output as DXF format, is developed.

Summary
El «Cloud computing» describe un modelo innovador de prestación de servicios de forma centralizada usando Internet como medio de distribución. Que consiste en un paquete de servicios web como SaaS (Software as a Service), está formada por 4 módulos: un modelador 3D, un software de análisis estructural, un software de diseño estructural y un generador de la documentación gráfica. Se estudia también la oferta actual que ofrece Amazon Web Services para este tipo de aplicaciones cloud y como se puede integrar el servicio web presentado en esta plataforma. La segunda capa se refiere a «Plataforma como Servicio (PaaS)» en la que el proveedor proporciona una plataforma con un entorno de desarrollo y APIs completa. El aumento del rendimiento de los equipos informáticos actuales ha incrementado las características y la capacidad de cálculo del software para el análisis y diseño de estructuras, sólo limitados por los recursos de hardware de los ordenadores. Para la programación de esta versión beta, se desarrolla adicionalmente un entorno principal que permite el acceso a la anterior a través del registro del usuario y sus privilegios
