Sid provides structural engineering firms with a unified data platform that links project files, calculations, and code references directly within tools like Revit, ETABS, and SAP2000. By ingesting existing archives and offering frictionless integration, it enables engineers to retrieve past decisions, run automated checks, and generate revision notes while keeping all data securely siloed within the organization.

Problem
Structural engineering firms struggle to access and reuse knowledge embedded in past project files, calculations, and code references, which are often scattered across PDFs, CAD drawings, and separate software tools. This fragmentation hampers onboarding of new engineers, leads to duplicated effort, and increases the risk of inconsistent documentation.
Solution
Sid provides a unified data layer that ingests existing archives—PDFs, DWG files, Revit models, and calculation packages—and links them to the engineering tools engineers already use, such as Revit, ETABS, SAP2000, and Bluebeam. By creating a single source of truth, the platform enables instant retrieval of precedent details, automated generation of design checks, and consistent documentation directly within the native design environment. The system surfaces relevant past decisions, code clauses, and member specifications, allowing engineers to draft revision notes and verify compliance without leaving their workflow. Data remains under the firm’s control, with optional on‑premises deployment and granular permission settings to ensure security and sovereignty.
Target Audience
Primary customers are structural engineering firms and their design teams who need to leverage historical project data, streamline code compliance checks, and maintain consistent documentation across Revit, ETABS, and SAP2000 workflows.
Features
- Automated ingestion of PDFs, DWG, Revit models, and calculation packages into a searchable knowledge graph
- Seamless integration with Revit, ETABS, SAP2000, and Bluebeam, enabling in‑tool retrieval of precedent data
- Contextual generation of design checks and revision notes linked to applicable code clauses (e.g., ASCE 7, AISC 360, ACI 318)
- Unified view of all project artifacts—drawings, models, calculations, and code references—connected to specific members and decisions
- Permission‑based access control and isolated organization‑level environments for data sovereignty
- Optional on‑premises deployment for firms requiring full control over their data
