ProMatrix module

Engineering

A next-generation computer-aided design system: planning, calculations, model building, documentation output and project management in a single flow — instead of a patchwork of CAD, calculation software and version folders.

About the module

A design environment that takes over the routine

Engineering is our flagship product and our answer to why design work is still organized as if it were the nineties. An engineer draws in one program, calculates in another, prepares documentation in a third, gets approvals by email and hunts for the current version in message threads. We are building an environment where a project is a single connected model: change a parameter and the loads are recalculated, the geometry is rebuilt, the specifications and drawings are updated, and everyone sees exactly what changed. The goal is to replace the combination of AutoCAD, Revit and adjacent tools with one environment where everything that can be automated is automated, leaving people with decisions rather than redrawing.

Instead of what

What the module replaces

Today these tasks are handled by separate programs, with data moved between them by hand. Here they live in one connected model.

Features

What the module can do

11 feature blocks available once the module is enabled.

01

Parametric model

A project is described by parameters and dependencies, not a set of lines. Changing a dimension or material rebuilds the related elements automatically.

02

Automated layout planning

Layout and routing driven by rules and constraints: the system proposes placement options, and the engineer chooses and adjusts.

03

Built-in calculations

Strength, loads, hydraulics, electrical, thermal — calculation modules run on the same model, with no export to third-party software and no re-entering of results.

04

Automatic documentation output

Drawings, diagrams, specifications and schedules are generated from the model. When the model changes, the documentation is reissued rather than edited by hand.

05

Standards compliance and checks

Checks against standards, clashes between disciplines, completeness and formatting — before the project goes out for approval.

06

Product and facility structure

Multi-level structure (BOM), variants, applicability, “where used”, version comparison and engineering change notices.

07

Project collaboration

Several specialists in one model: disciplines, areas of responsibility, visibility of others' edits, and discussion right on the element.

08

Data exchange

Import and export of DWG, IFC, STEP and other formats — so you can work with contractors and clients who are still on their old tools.

09

Project management

Assignments to disciplines, deadlines, statuses, remarks and their resolution, change history and delivery of document sets to the client.

10

Installation and as-built documentation

Issuing working document sets to the site, recording deviations from the design, concealed-work certificates and as-built drawings — for design-and-install contractors.

11

Standalone operation

The project is available without a network: work on site or on a business trip, then sync and merge the edits.

Purchasing

How to buy this module

The module is licensed separately or as part of the system, by subscription or perpetually. You can estimate the cost for your setup in the calculator.

With a server

Client-server edition: collaboration, sync, chats and conferencing. The server runs on your side, on ours, or in a hybrid setup.

Local, no server

Installed on a workstation with its own database. Standalone operation, perpetual license; the server side can be added later.

Subscription or perpetual

A monthly fee with updates and support, or a one-time purchase with support under a separate contract.

With implementation

Process setup, data migration from your current systems and user training — as a separate stage.
