Awatif Blog: AI agents and software for structural engineers

  1. The roof of a house from its IFC model, six timber girders checked to Eurocode 5

    Design Your Roof Beams with One Prompt

    You define the structural system and the design requirements. From one prompt, an AI agent builds the model, runs the analysis, designs the beams, and waits for your approval.
  2. A 7 m CLT floor rippling as a walker crosses it, the coffee cup shivering

    Why Vibration, Not Strength, Sets How Far a CLT Floor Can Span

    Timber is strong for its weight, but it is light, so footsteps decide how far a CLT floor can span. Walk across one in your browser and watch it ripple.
  3. Frei Otto's Tanzbrunnen tent at night, solved live in the browser

    Pull on Frei Otto's Tent

    Frei Otto found this shape with soap film in 1957. Your browser finds it in 40 ms, and you can pull on it and watch it go up.
  4. ETABS torsion iteration, 1.5 hours to 15 minutes, run by an AI agent

    ETABS Torsion Iteration in 15 Minutes Instead of 1.5 Hours

    Muhanned Othman built an AI agent that runs the ACI 318-19 torsion modifier loop in ETABS for him. On his model: 1.5 hours down to under 15 minutes.
  5. Past the critical point. Your UI, our buckling solver

    Buckling Without the Non-Convergence Error

    A non-convergence error tells you the structure buckled, not how. Our solver follows it past the critical point, with no arc-length method.
  6. Your UI. Our Soil Solver. Built with AI, powered by Awatif

    Let AI Build the Interface. Keep a Validated Solver Behind It.

    AI builds the user interface well. The validated FEM engine is the part it cannot replace, and that is what our soil solver API provides.
  7. Shell-element analysis of a meshed slab running in Awatif

    Shell-Element Analysis Is Now Available in Awatif

    Create, mesh, and analyse slabs, walls, plates, and connections in real time—directly in your browser.
  8. Mohamed Adil reflecting on the next stage of Awatif

    The Problem Was Right. The Business Model Was Wrong.

    Six months into building Awatif, we changed the offer, reversed how we divided our time, and clarified what comes next.
  9. Eurocode design reports for concrete, steel, and timber members in Awatif

    Eurocode Design Reports Are Now Available in Awatif

    Eurocode-based concrete, steel, and timber design components are now integrated with Awatif's structural analysis engine.
  10. Lateral-torsional buckling deformation of a beam

    Nonlinear Analysis in Seconds, Not Hours

    Awatif benchmarked its nonlinear buckling solver against Abaqus, matching displacement response while reducing solver iterations by up to 51,438.8×.
  11. Building Awatif from a café in Amsterdam

    Three Months Building Awatif Full-Time: Build, Sell, Launch

    What happened when we stopped preparing and started putting Awatif in front of structural engineers.
  12. Prompt modeling a structural truss in Awatif

    Prompt Modeling: The End of Parametric Scripting?

    How AI-driven prompt modeling goes straight from intent to geometry — and why the scripting layer in between may not survive.
  13. Mohamed Adil taking a goodbye selfie after leaving his 9-to-5 job

    Why I Left My 9-to-5

    Leaving a stable structural engineering job, the workflow frustration that led to programming, and the question that became Awatif.
  14. Awatif data structure visualization

    Awatif: A New Data Structure for Structural Engineering

    Discover how Awatif's three-level data structure enables seamless collaboration from design through analysis.
  15. Building a 3D Geometry Modeling Tool cover

    Building a 3D Geometry Modeling Tool for Awatif.co

    Learn how we built a hybrid 3D modeling tool combining manual flexibility with parametric efficiency.
  16. Mayur Mistry podcast cover featuring Mohamed Adil discussing Awatif

    How Awatif is Redefining Parametric Modeling?

    Mohamed Adil joins Mayur Mistry's podcast to discuss the journey behind Awatif and the product vision.
  17. Conference talk cover from Mohamed Adil's presentation

    Can We Simulate Physics and Design Buildings in Real Time?

    Highlights from Mohamed Adil's London conference talk on real-time physics, collaboration, and Awatif's roadmap.
  18. FEM simulation cover

    A Bird's-Eye View of FEM Simulation

    A simple, energy-based intuition for FEM: strain, energy minimization, shape functions, and practical discretization.
  19. Parametric modeling cover

    The Benefits of Parametric Modeling in Structural Engineering

    How parametric modeling supports automation, design exploration, optimization, and sensitivity analysis.
