Problem
Structural engineers spend extensive time on manual calculations and drafting to convert architectural drawings into code‑compliant structural designs, leading to slow project cycles, higher material usage, and increased risk of human error.
Solution
Genia provides an AI‑driven structural design co‑pilot that ingests CAD/BIM architectural files, parses building elements, and automatically generates hundreds of code‑validated layout options within minutes. The platform couples generative AI with a rule‑based analysis engine that runs full structural calculations to ensure each option meets relevant building codes. Engineers can review a shortlist of designs, edit them in an interactive editor, and export permit‑ready DWG drawings and PDF calculation reports. By automating repetitive tasks, Genia accelerates design timelines, reduces material consumption by up to 20%, and lowers the likelihood of manual errors.
Target Audience
Primary users are structural engineering firms and solo structural engineers who need to produce fast, code‑compliant designs from architectural drawings; the platform also serves architects and developers seeking AI‑augmented engineering partners.
