Structural engineering, computed from the drawing.
Engenie by Hummer reads the architect's DWG and produces the structural wall and column plan, reinforcement design and code checks. Engineers approve a result instead of drawing one.
From one architectural file to a checked structural package.
Each stage is deterministic where geometry matters and reviewed where judgment matters. Every rule the engine applies is enforced in code and reported with its reason.
| Solution | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
Wall and column planFrom the architect's DWG |
Reads layers, lines and hatches, identifies storeys and the building footprint, and returns the load-bearing wall plan with optional column positions. Exported as IFC and as a marked-up DWG the architect can open. |
|
Reinforcement designSlabs, beams, columns |
Computes moments and required steel areas, selects bar diameters and spacing from the office's catalogue, resolves laps and anchorage from the code tables, and produces the reinforcement drawing and schedule. Output: DWG, PDF, bar bending schedule |
|
Code and office-rule checksEurocode 2, SANS 10100, SI 466 |
Every national rule and every office preference is a deterministic assertion. The result either passes or lists each deviation with its clause, so a reviewer spends less time checking than it would take to design. |

Review and deliveryApprove, annotate, hand over |
Reviewers mark decisions directly on the drawing. Approved results are delivered as DWG, IFC 4 and PDF, with the full decision log kept with the project. |
How a project runs
Four steps. The engine does the geometry and the arithmetic; the engineer keeps the decisions.
Upload the drawings
Architectural DWG or DXF, with sections and elevations if available. Nothing else is needed.
Confirm the layers
The engine proposes which layers carry walls and columns. The engineer confirms once per project.
Compute and check
Wall plan, columns, reinforcement and code checks are produced together, with every rule reported.
Review and deliver
Approve or annotate on the drawing, then export DWG, IFC and PDF for the project team.
Built for European and South African codes

Engineering partners Sample logos, to be replaced
Engenie is run with structural practices that sign off the results in each market. Partner names are published once agreements are announced.
