Analysis
Three-dimensional finite element. Shell and frame elements in one model, rigid floor diaphragms, notional forces and storey drift.

Every package solves the frame. Almost none of them finish the job. Lunia carries a building from model to detailed reinforcement drawings and calculation sheets — arranged, scheduled and referenced to the clause — without leaving the file.
What it does
Modelling through to issued drawings, without the model being rebuilt at a boundary between tools.

Learn moreAn engineer does not lose a week to the analysis. The week goes between“the model solves” and “the drawings are on the contractor's desk” — arranging bars that fit the web, deciding where a lap is allowed to sit, splitting links at a crank, and typing the calculation up afterwards.
Lunia treats that as the product. Every decision the detailer makes is made against a clause, and the clause is printed beside the number on the sheet — so the person checking your drawing can follow it without asking you what the software did.
That is the difference between a result and a submission. It is also why the sheets go out as they are, rather than being retyped into a document the night before the deadline.
The workflow
The reason drawings take so long is that most of these steps live in different programs, and the model gets rebuilt at every boundary.
Grids, frames, slabs, walls and foundations — or the architect's DXF, imported as drawn.
Shells and frames solved together, with diaphragms, notional forces and drift.
Concrete, steel and timber members against the code you actually work to.
Reinforcement arranged, laps positioned, links zoned and bars scheduled.
Drawings out to DXF, and calculation sheets with the clause beside every number.
Why Lunia
Most packages stop when the frame solves. Lunia carries on through detailing to the drawings that actually go out to the contractor.
Every value on a calculation sheet carries the clause it came from, so a reviewer can follow the work without asking you what the software did.
Nothing is rebuilt at a boundary between programs, because there is no boundary to cross. Modelling to drawings happens in one place.
Perpetual, subscription, floating and academic licensing, and design to the codes engineers actually build to — wherever they practise.
