Smarter structural design
High-performance, cost-effective structures in minutes, not weeks. Every design optimized and ready to build.
Hours, not weeks
Size a code-compliant lateral system in a fraction of the usual time.
From your ETABS model
No re-modeling. Connect, extract, and design from what you already have.
Verified, not guessed
Every design checked against NZS 3404 and nonlinear analysis.
How it works
From model to verified design in four steps
Connect ETABS
Extract model
AI sizes sections
Review & push back
Structural Design
Size a code-compliant lateral system from your ETABS model in minutes.
Explore the interactive workspace: a live 3D model, plan and elevation editing, and AI-predicted sections you can review before pushing back.
High-performance, cost-effective structures in minutes, not weeks. Every design optimized and ready to build. The bottleneck in structural engineering isn't drawing — it's search. We treat sizing as the optimization problem it is.

Introducing Structural Design
Connect your ETABS model, let a reinforcement-learning agent size a code-compliant lateral system, and review every element before you accept it.

Why structural design is an optimization problem
The slowest part of structural engineering isn't drawing — it's the search for an efficient, compliant system. That's a problem machines are good at.
