Bloomcorelabs offers Polaris, an AI‑orchestrated structural design platform that automates the full workflow from IFC import and load calculation to Eurocode‑compliant analysis and auditable PDF reports. By running cloud‑based finite‑element analysis with the open‑source CalculiX solver and an iterative optimization loop, Polaris quickly explores design alternatives, reduces material usage, and ensures code compliance while keeping engineers in control of assumptions and final sign‑off.

Problem
Structural engineers must perform repetitive, time‑consuming tasks such as meshing, finite‑element analysis, Eurocode compliance checks, and generation of calculation reports for each design iteration. Manual handling of these steps creates bottlenecks, increases the risk of errors, and makes it difficult to explore alternative designs quickly, especially during bid preparation.
Solution
Polaris, Bloomcorelabs’ AI‑orchestrated structural design platform, automates the end‑to‑end workflow from geometry import to auditable calculation reports. The system leverages a physics engine and the open‑source CalculiX solver to run cloud‑based FEA, automatically calculate Eurocode‑compliant loads based on project geolocation, and perform element‑level code verification. An iterative optimization loop adjusts sections, materials, and reinforcement to meet predefined safety, material, and cost targets, while engineers retain control over modeling assumptions and final sign‑off. Results, including load cases, utilization ratios, and code references, are compiled into PDF reports ready for regulatory submission. The cloud‑native architecture scales on demand and requires no local installation, enabling access from any device.
Target Audience
Polaris is aimed at structural engineering teams in small firms, large enterprises, and design‑build/EPC companies that need rapid, code‑compliant analysis and cost‑optimized designs for projects and bid submissions.
