Abstract

Our team developed structural design and analysis system "BRAINNX" BRAINNX implements three AIs. Each AI automates simple repetitive tasks. Structural engineer can spend more time doing creative things that only they can do. AI Building Research can automatically search for similar buildings based on basic project information. AI cross-section estimation can automatically estimate assumed cross-sections based on a structural model reflecting the structural plan. AI member design automatically completes member design, such as allowable stress design and calculation of lateral load-bearing capacity, based on the structural design policy set by the structural engineer. They can significantly reduce the iterative task time by the structural engineer.Based on the AI results, the average accuracy of the estimated quantity of structural elements for each of the three AIs compared to the structural engineer's design results was 98%, 105%, and 102%, respectively. We have started applying this system to practical use.
