For Structural Engineers

From load calculation to finished report — in minutes, not hours

ApexBIM takes the tedium out of structural analysis. Calculate loads, compare design options, and generate professional reports — all without leaving your building model. No more jumping between tools or re-entering data by hand.

The Problem

Challenges structural engineers face

These are the real problems you deal with every day. We built ApexBIM to solve them.

Hand calculations are slow and error-prone

Working out reactions, moments, and deflections by hand or in spreadsheets is slow and one wrong formula can quietly spread through your entire analysis. Every design change means starting the math over.

Hard to compare design options

Trying different beam sizes, materials, or support conditions means running each option separately. There's no easy way to see them side by side or figure out which load combination will govern your design.

Keeping up with design changes

When the architect moves a wall or changes a span, you often don't find out for days. Re-running your analysis with the new geometry and communicating the impact back to the team is a slow, disconnected process.

Reports take hours to assemble

Putting together a submission-ready report — with load cases, combinations, diagrams, and results — is a copy-and-paste marathon that eats hours per project and is full of opportunities for transcription errors.

The Solution

How ApexBIM helps

Each pain point has a direct solution in ApexBIM. Here's how the platform addresses your challenges.

Instant beam and column analysis

Structural Analysis

Click any beam in your model and get reactions, maximum moment, shear, deflection, stress, and safety factor — with clear diagrams that show exactly what's happening along the span.

Automatic load combinations

Load Combinations

Define your load cases (dead, live, wind, seismic, snow) and let ApexBIM run all the standard combinations for you. It shows the worst-case moment and shear at every point and tells you which combination is in control.

Always in sync with the architect

Live Collaboration

When the architect changes a span or moves a load, your structural model updates automatically. Re-run the analysis with one click and see the impact right away — no re-importing geometry.

Reports in one click

Report Export

Generate a complete structural report with one click — project info, beam properties, load tables, results, and diagrams. Download it as a document or spreadsheet, ready for review or submission.
