Bentley Structural Analysis

Witness the future of AI-native structural engineering. In this short demonstration, we show how Claude connects directly to Bentley's STAAD.Pro using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to optimize a steel piperack model from a single prompt. The AI automatically analyzes the existing framework, runs the steel design optimization while strictly maintaining member grouping constraints, and captures the results. It even instantly generates a comprehensive visual comparison dashboard so you can track the savings by structural group. 🎥 Watch the real-time AI optimization here: https://lnkd.in/gnRCQk_w #STAAD #BentleySystems #StructuralEngineering #AI #AgenticAI #SteelDesign #CivilEngineering

Exciting Update for Structural Engineers! Great news for professionals involved in foundation design using Eurocodes. The newly released STAAD Foundation Advanced 2026 now supports foundation analysis and design as per Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1:2004)—further expanding its capabilities beyond the existing support for ACI 318 (2014 & 2019) and IS 456:2000. 🔍 What’s different in this Eurocode 2 implementation? ✅ Optional bearing and sliding checks aligned with Eurocode 7 (EN 1997-1:2004) ✅ Optional automated soil bearing capacity calculations based on input soil properties, following Annex D of Eurocode 7 ✅ Comprehensive analysis, stability, and design reports—both detailed and summary formats This enhancement brings greater flexibility and global applicability to foundation design workflows—especially for projects aligned with European standards. Looking forward to seeing how this adds value to engineering teams worldwide! #StructuralEngineering #FoundationDesign #Eurocode #STAAD #CivilEngineering #EngineeringSoftware #Innovation

What if an AI agent could significantly reduce your project's steel weight? We put it to the test. By combining the power of Bentley’s STAAD with agentic AI, we orchestrated a full structural optimization on a real production model. Using the new STAAD.Pro MCP Server, the AI agent autonomously varied geometry, section sizes, and materials while maintaining built-in compliance for global design codes. 👀 See how open platforms and agentic AI are rewiring the built world.

The future of structural engineering is programmable! 💻🏗️ With the new RAM Elements Python API, you can now automate modeling, load generation, analysis, and data extraction directly through code. ▶️ Watch how a single Python script builds and analyzes a complex airport terminal from scratch: https://lnkd.in/gdCBC6MW #RAMElements #PythonAPI #BentleySystems #StructuralEngineering #Automation

Engineers often tell us their main concern with AI is not its capability, but rather trusting the results it delivers. That is exactly why the Model Context Protocol (MCP) matters. MCP gives AI a structured, governed path to the applications and engineering data an organization already trusts, instead of leaving the model to guess. We recently hosted a session with experts from our structural and application engineering teams to break this down. You can now watch the complete recording on demand to see real-world examples of MCP reducing friction in day-to-day workflows. ▶️ Watch the on-demand webinar here: https://lnkd.in/guzqiqUQ If you are early in exploring AI or trying to map out where MCP fits into your technology roadmap, this session is built for you. #MCP #AppliedAI #StructuralEngineering #Infrastructure #BentleySystems #SACS #STAAD #RAM
