Updated 9 August 2026 to correct capability descriptions that were published ahead of their validation gates. The original wording described connecting to ETABS, sizing, checking and pushing designs back as though they worked; none of that exists. The argument below is unchanged.
Today we're introducing what we're building: design and analysis software for steel eccentrically braced frames. It is a private preview in development — there is nothing to sign in to, and nothing described here works yet.
Start from the model you already have
The intended path is to read your structural model rather than make you rebuild it: geometry, sections, loads and combinations read in, with exactly what was captured shown to you before anything changes. That import is being built and does not work yet.
Propose and analyse, kept apart
One part of the system will propose sections. A separate part will analyse what those sections actually do. We are keeping them apart on purpose: the thing that suggests an answer should never be the thing that approves it. A proposal that has not been analysed will be unverified, and we intend to show it that way.
You stay in control
Section proposals are generated designs requiring engineering review. The engineer decides what to accept, and remains responsible for the design. That is not a caveat we are adding at the end — it is the shape of the product.
The preview has a published scope, and it is deliberately narrow. We are not restating a short version of it here — a shortened envelope is a broader claim than the real one. The full scope and its exclusions are on the engineering-output disclaimer, along with what our output is and is not.
