Problem
Companies in the construction and engineering sectors often struggle to quickly generate optimized structural designs that meet safety codes, material constraints, and performance targets, leading to prolonged design cycles and higher costs.
Solution
Sentient Structures provides an AI-driven platform that automates the creation and evaluation of structural models. Users input project parameters such as load requirements, material preferences, and architectural constraints, and the system generates multiple design alternatives. Built-in code compliance checks and performance simulations ensure each option meets regulatory standards and project goals. The platform ranks designs based on cost, weight, and constructability, allowing engineers to select the most efficient solution with minimal manual iteration. Results are exported in standard engineering formats for seamless integration with existing CAD and BIM workflows.
Target Audience
Primary users are structural engineers, architecture firms, and construction consultants who need rapid, code‑compliant design options for buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities.
Features
- Generative design engine that produces structural layouts from high-level project specifications
- Integrated code compliance module covering major international building codes
- Real-time finite element analysis for stress, deflection, and vibration assessment
- Cost and material optimization algorithms that balance performance with budget constraints
- Export of models to IFC, Revit, and CAD formats for downstream detailing and construction documentation
