Planix Analyze
Upload your engineering files — BIM models, drawings, spreadsheets, or site photos — and get a preliminary structural or civil analysis report with calculations, code-aware checks, and interactive visualizations.
How It Works
Drop your engineering file (IFC, PDF, DXF, XLSX, or image)
AI reads your file and extracts structural parameters
Check extracted values and confirm the country/code context before you continue
Get preliminary calculations, code-aware checks, and a review-grade report
Supported File Types
Open BIM standard. Extracts real structural members, sections, materials, storeys, and foundations directly from the model — highest accuracy.
Revit: File → Export → IFC. SketchUp: Install IFC plugin → Export. ArchiCAD: File → Save As → IFC.
Structural/architectural drawings analyzed with AI vision. Reads dimensions, title blocks, notes, schedules, and section marks.
AutoCAD exchange format. Extracts layers, dimension entities, text annotations, and block references.
AutoCAD: File → Save As → DXF format.
Soil reports, load schedules, member schedules. Extracts tabular data and identifies engineering parameters.
Site photos, hand sketches, or screenshots of drawings. AI vision estimates structure type and dimensions.
Tabular engineering data (soil test results, load tables, member lists).
Proprietary format with limited support. For best results, export to DXF or PDF from AutoCAD.
AutoCAD: File → Save As → choose DXF or Export → PDF for better analysis.
Tips for Best Results
Use IFC files whenever possible — they give the highest accuracy since parameters are read directly from the model
Always review the extracted parameters before running analysis — correct any wrong values
Add context notes when uploading (e.g., "Seismic zone III, wind speed 44 m/s") to fill gaps the AI might miss
For PDF drawings, upload clear, high-resolution scans with visible dimensions and title blocks
Export IFC from Revit/SketchUp includes material assignments — this helps detect concrete and steel grades
The analysis assumes standard load combinations per code. Specify unusual loads in the context field
Important disclaimer
All analysis results are for preliminary assessment only. They must be reviewed, validated, and approved by a qualified licensed structural or civil engineer before use in any construction or design decisions. Planix does not replace professional engineering judgment.
