Introducing SAP2000 Agent & ETABS Agent by Stru AI

Create complex 3D analysis models from a simple prompt

We're launching two new AI agents that let structural engineers build SAP2000 and ETABS models using natural language. Instead of clicking through menus and drawing geometry manually, you describe what you want and the agents build it.

What Are SAP2000 Agent & ETABS Agent?

These AI agents generate complete 3D structural analysis models in SAP2000 or ETABS from text prompts. No repetitive clicking. No tedious geometry creation. No manual load assignments. You describe what you want, and the agents build it.

The agents work for:

• High-rise building models
• Industrial steel structures
• Long-span trusses
• RC frames
• Concept massing options
• Iterative design alternatives

How It Works

The recommended way to use the agents is with the Stru AI desktop app running on your local machine:

1. Schedule a call to set up the app
2. Run the app on the same PC where ETABS or SAP2000 is installed
3. Go to stru.ai in your browser and chat with the agent
4. The agent controls your local software - builds models, applies loads, runs analysis

This setup gives you full control. You can save your work, use your own templates, and leverage your local computing power.

Try It Online First

Want to see what the agents can do before setting up? Use the cloud demo at stru.ai. The agent runs on a remote computer with ETABS/SAP2000 pre-installed. This is great for quick demos and exploring capabilities.

What You Can Do

Build Models From Scratch Using Text

Describe the geometry, materials, bracing, loads, or layout. The AI converts your prompt into a task list and executes each step.

Edit Existing Models

Open your SAP2000 or ETABS project and tell the agent to:

• Modify geometry
• Change members or sections
• Add or remove loads
• Apply boundary conditions
• Update combinations
• Generate design variations

Interactive Collaboration

Inside the modeling environment, you can:

• Click on joints, frames, and shells
• Select objects on screen
• Command the agent to modify them

It works like a modeling teammate who handles the repetitive tasks.

Why This Matters

Structural engineers spend too much time on low-value modeling tasks. Drawing grids, defining sections, assigning loads, creating combinations, and iterating design alternatives eat up hours that could be spent on more important work.

Stru AI automates these steps so you can focus on:

• Structural behavior
• Load paths
• Performance-based design
• Value engineering
• Coordination
• Creative problem-solving

You can do more projects in less time without compromising quality.
