Revolutionizing structural engineering with AI-powered connection analysis
ConnectAI is on a mission to transform the way structural engineers design and validate steel connections. We combine cutting-edge artificial intelligence with proven finite element analysis to deliver instant, accurate connection predictions that traditionally took days to compute.
By reducing analysis time from days to seconds, we empower engineers to explore more design options, optimize their connections, and deliver safer, more cost-effective structures.
ConnectAI was born from a simple observation: structural engineers spend countless hours running finite element simulations for routine connection checks. This bottleneck slows down projects and limits the number of design iterations that can be explored.
Our founding team of structural engineers and machine learning experts asked: "What if we could train AI models on thousands of validated FEM simulations?" The answer became ConnectAI - a hybrid physics-AI platform that delivers FEM-grade accuracy in under 3 seconds.
Starting with the HEA120-HEA120 bolted connection, we've built a foundation that achieves 96.4% accuracy across 560+ training cases using Salome and Code_Aster - industry-leading open-source FEM tools.
Industry-standard open-source CAD and meshing platform for geometry creation and finite element mesh generation.
Advanced finite element solver developed by EDF, trusted for critical structural analysis in nuclear and civil engineering.
Custom machine learning models built on improved SRSS physics formulas, trained on 560+ validated FEM simulations.
All predictions validated against EN 1993-1-8 design standards for structural steel connections.
Every prediction is validated against full FEM simulations. We never compromise on engineering rigor.
Built on Salome and Code_Aster, we believe in transparent, community-driven FEM technology.
95% faster analysis time doesn't mean cutting corners - it means smarter algorithms and better tools.
Advanced FEM analysis shouldn't require enterprise budgets. We're making it accessible to all engineers.
We're just getting started. Here's where ConnectAI is headed:
Proven 96.4% accuracy with M20 8.8 bolts, S355 steel
Additional HEA, HEB, IPE sections with multiple bolt configurations
User-defined geometry with automated FEM validation
