AEIS

Resources

Prepare better inputs. Review every output.

Practical references for preparing BIM and IFC sources, choosing the right AEIS product, controlling licensed analysis stages, and reviewing AI-assisted work without transferring engineering judgment.

Before the first run

Make the engineering question testable.

A useful AEIS case starts from an approved BIM or IFC source, a supported engineering task, a clear browser-or-worker execution boundary, and a deliverable the team can verify.

Use these checks before technical scoping or a controlled evaluation. They apply to BIM source review, browser design, connected analysis delivery, and AI-assisted planning.

  • Confirm the IFC revision, issue status, and Revit preparation path when the model originates in Revit 2026+.
  • Inspect geometry, attributes, levels, units, and validation findings before calculation or analysis begins.
  • Record assumptions that are not carried by the model: soil idealisation, exclusions, design options, and temporary conditions.
  • Name the supported module or licensed worker stage the source is intended to feed.
  • Define the result, file package, or report a qualified engineer will accept as a successful first run.
  • Keep package identity coherent: do not mix artifacts from superseded builds or abandoned runs.

Operating model

Frame. Execute. Verify. Decide.

Use the same control sequence for BIM preparation, technical calculation, licensed analysis delivery, and AI-assisted review. Assistance can prepare work; it does not approve or certify the outcome.

  1. Frame

    Name the approved BIM or IFC source, the engineering question, constraints, execution boundary, and the acceptance artifact a qualified engineer will review.

    Source + question
  2. Execute

    Run the selected browser module or the configured Windows-worker stage—SAFE, ETABS, or PLAXIS—against the frozen source and plan.

    Browser or worker
  3. Verify

    Inspect inputs, assumptions, validation findings, tool evidence, logs, results, and generated artifacts before treating the run as complete.

    Evidence review
  4. Decide

    Accept, revise, or rerun. AEIS organizes the work; the qualified engineer owns the engineering outcome.

    Engineer ownership

Apply these guides to a defined engineering case.

Provide one approved BIM or IFC source, one engineering task, and one required deliverable. Use the guides to prepare evidence, choose the product, and keep qualified engineer approval at every gate.
