AI has now also arrived in structural engineering. With Dlubal CALC and Mia, the AI assistant for structural analysis and design, a new way of handling calculations begins: You describe the task in natural language, Mia guides you through the inputs, clarifies missing information, and delivers calculations, verifications, and reports that you can review and share.
Dlubal CALC combines the question, calculation, verification, and documentation in a single dialog. You can design a beam according to Eurocode, check an RFEM 6 model, or handle tasks for which there is no specific add-on. Calculated values, assumptions, calculation steps, and sources remain transparent. The professional review and approval naturally remain with you.
Particularly exciting is the connection with existing Dlubal applications. Via the Dlubal Connector, Mia can control RFEM 6 on your computer, build models, start calculations, and read back results. RSECTION and the Geo-Zone Tool can also be integrated into suitable workflows.
What can I ask Mia?
Try, for example:
Design a simply supported steel beam, span 6 m, IPE 300 in S235, uniform load 12 kN/m. Show me the bending verification and the maximum deflection.
What deviations does the German National Annex to EN 1993-1-1 include for this verification? Please provide the sources.
Check my open RFEM 6 model. Show unusual supports, load cases and utilizations, and explain the findings.
Determine the snow and wind loads for my project in Munich using the Geo-Zone Tool and document the values used.
Mia asks for clarification when information is missing or multiple assumptions are possible. That’s exactly what's important: no invented loads and no black box, but a calculation approach you can dispute and evaluate professionally.
Skills for recurring tasks
About 30 skills are already available for recurring verifications. A skill bundles inputs, calculation method, and sources for a clearly defined task, for example for steel beams, load assumptions, or work with RFEM 6. The skill library is continuously being expanded so that more and more typical structural engineering tasks can be handled directly in CALC.
