Structomat

Structomat is an AI engineering agent for structural steel. This connector gives Claude engineering tools that return computed results, not just text.

• estimate_steel_cost: cost of fabricating and erecting a steel structure, worked out part by part from its IFC model (a public link, the file text, or a built-in sample). Every part, hole, weld and lift is timed and priced at the region's employer labour cost (UK, Germany, US, Australia or your own rates). Returns the cost floor with its breakdown, the published market band and the gap, the process groups and the ten parts that drive the cost, a programme from shop drawings to

• analyze_frame: runs a 3D finite-element analysis of a steel frame, either from a template (pitched portal frame building, open mono-pitch canopy, multi-storey frame) or from a full JSON model. Linear or second order (P-Delta), with modal analysis. Returns the equilibrium check, deflections, sway, every support reaction, member axial forces, shears and moments (with the governing combination for EN 1990 or ASCE 7 sets) and natural periods with mass participation, plus a link that shows the same model and results in 3D.
• estimate_portal_frame_steel: steel tonnage of a single-span portal frame building (15–30 m span) by part, with a range and typical member sizes, interpolated between complete finite-element designs.
• find_examples and get_connection: search published steel projects, case studies, benchmarks and a library of checked steel connections with plates, bolts, welds, design code and the utilisation of each component.
• about_structomat and list_services: what Structomat does, design codes, what to send and what comes back.
• draft_project_request: prepares an e-mail draft for the user to review and send; it sends nothing.

No sign-in. Every tool is read-only: nothing is changed, sent or stored. Results are elastic analysis and estimates for checking, comparing and budgeting; they are not a code check or a signed design.
