Roadmap
What is done, in progress and planned
Engineering and note taking follow written plans in the company handbook, built one complete phase at a time. A phase is done when its products and libraries are implemented, tested and documented.
Status on 15 October 2026. This page changes when the plans change.
Engineering
Structural Suite
-
Steel member design
Doneeurocode-calcschecks steel members to EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1993-1-5. -
Frame analysis
In progressframe-analysisanalyses 3D frames with links, gaps and seismic isolators, including response spectra and storey checks to EN 1998-1, isolated bridges and buildings, large displacements and rotations, plastic members up to collapse, and pushover analysis, and checks their steel members by all three stability methods and after a plastic global analysis. Its desktop program, the first of the suite, edits the model in a Model tree and a Properties panel; tables, loads and the 3D view follow. -
Cross-section analysis
In progresssection-analysiscomputes the properties, torsion and warping, plastic capacity and stresses of any section through its command line and C API, with section files, sessions and the plan views of its desktop program. Its desktop program follows. -
Concrete and loads
In progressload-generationtransfers area loads to their supports, lays snow and wind on buildings, and places road and rail traffic, footbridge loads and temperatures on bridges. Theeurocodelibrary covers EN 1991 actions with road, rail, footbridge and accidental loads on bridges, the EN 1990 combinations of buildings and bridges, EN 1997 earth pressures, and EN 1992 bending, shear, torsion, prestressing, punching, slender columns by every method, and serviceability. Earth pressures inload-generation, and concrete design in the products, follow. -
Timber and connections
In progressTimber is complete in the
eurocodelibrary: EN 1995-1-1, fire and bridges. EN 1993-1-8 has bolts, welds, bolted connections, the simple joints of SCI P358, joint classification, the component method, moment joints with haunches, stiffeners and axial force, bolted and welded splices, and column base plates on anchor bolts or headed anchors with EN 1992-4, the stiffness and rotation capacity of joints, and hollow-section joints on every kind of chord, and the connections of steel bridges; thesteel-connectionsproduct follows. -
Surfaces and solids
In progressfemmeshes planar surfaces into flat three-node shells for plates, walls and slabs, joins them to each other and to members, and gives their results in statics, buckling, second order, first-order nonlinear paths and the dynamic analyses. More shell elements, solids and thestructural-analysisproduct follow. -
Physical model and drafting
In progressproject-modelholds grids, levels, members, walls, slabs, openings, and bridges along IFC 4.3 alignments with piers, abutments, bearings, isolators and expansion joints, all driven by parameters. Drawings and the drafting product follow. -
BIM and detailing
In progressThe
detailinglibrary has steel parts, numbering, bolts, welds, shop assemblies, and components for fin plates, end plates, web cleats, moment end plates with haunches and stiffeners, and column bases, andproject-modeltakes each joint's behaviour into the analysis model. The other joints and NC output follow, then the modelling product with drawings and schedules. -
Free-form geometry
PlannedNURBS curves and surfaces, and visual programming over geometry and data.
-
Timber-frame buildings
PlannedAutomatic framing of walls, floors and roofs, prefabricated elements and manufacturing output.
-
Prestressing and bridges
PlannedTendons with their losses and elongations, construction stages with precamber, force and shape optimisation and incremental launching, composite bridges, and the dynamic analysis of trains crossing bridges.
-
Special analyses
PlannedFootfall, multiple-support excitation, artificial accelerograms, silo, tank and wave loads, membrane cutting patterns, reliability analysis and fire temperature fields.
-
Precast
PlannedPretensioned precast elements designed to EN 1992, with production and erection planning and machine exports, in the
precast-designproduct, and their tracking in a client of its own. -
Codes and sustainability
PlannedMore national annexes, life cycle assessment by EN 15804, and design codes beyond the Eurocodes, family by family as users need them.
-
Energy and networks
PlannedHourly energy simulation of buildings in
building-energy, and water and district heating networks inpipe-networks. -
Special structures
PlannedGlass, towers and masts, piping, crane runways and steel shells.
-
Exchange and collaboration
PlannedThe exchange formats of other analysis programs, point clouds, and model sharing through a common data environment.
-
Concrete details
PlannedDiscontinuity regions of concrete by compatible stress fields, first in 2D and then in 3D with anchors in reinforced blocks, in the
concrete-detailsproduct. -
Concept modelling
PlannedPush-pull modelling of planar polygons and page layouts of the model, in the
concept-modelerproduct.
Engineering
Model exchange
-
STEP and IFC text files
Donestepandifc: queries and structural analysis models in IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC 4.3. -
IFC-ZIP and IFC-XML
Donearchiveandxml. -
Meshes and IFC geometry
DoneSTL, OBJ and 3MF in
mesh. IFC extrusions, breps, Booleans, every profile, CSG primitives, sweeps, surfaces, advanced breps and IFC 4.3 alignments. -
Complete IFC
In progressAny representation of a product, openings and other features cut from every kind of geometry, annotations, styles, layers, grid placements and georeferencing are read today, the geometry is compared with IfcConvert, every Boolean is computed exactly, queries read materials, references, connections, alignments, schedules, resources, costs and every typed value and quantity, structural analysis models are read whole in IFC2x3 to IFC 4.3, and models are edited, upgraded from IFC2x3 to IFC4 and IFC 4.3, and checked against the rules of their schema and against IDS documents.
model-convertdescribes, checks and converts models from the command line and the C API. The rest of writing follows, for anifcthat is ready for production. -
Spreadsheets, CSV and PDF
In progresscsvreads and writes CSV tables in any dialect and encoding,spreadsheetstreams or edits XLSX workbooks overopc, with formulas that follow inserted and deleted rows and columns,pdfwrites tagged PDF/A and PDF/UA files from graphics scenes,typesethyphenates, breaks paragraphs and lays out formulas, andreportwrites a laid-out report as tagged PDF and as HTML, with the working of EN 1993's classification, effective sections and plastic hinges. The rest of XLSX and the descriptions of the other checks follow. -
CAD solids
PlannedSTEP AP203, AP214, AP242 and IGES in
brep. -
DXF and DWG drawings
PlannedDrawing exchange.

Desktop program
In progressnotebook-desktopopens a vault on Windows and Linux, lists its folders and files, shows notes as the reading view does with pictures, sound, video and PDF files, shows the changes other programs make, edits notes in live preview or source mode, and has search, the quick switcher, the link and tag panels, the command palette, settings, templates and daily notes, undo and redo, the graph view, math, Mermaid diagrams, the hotkey editor, pasting and dropping files and HTML, and tables edited in place. Tabs and split panes, and managing files follow. -

PlannedTables of notes and records, stored as files in the vault.
-
Whiteboards and evidence boards
PlannedWith JSON Canvas import and export.
-
Import, PDF and publishing
Planneddraw.io and Obsidian Bases import, PDF viewing and annotation, publishing a vault as a website, and optional sync.
