For students and engineers
AI-powered structural design tool. Just describe it.
Type the member, sketch it on the canvas, or photograph it — and get shear, moment, deflection, reinforcement and a report you can check line by line.

The workflow
From a sentence to a finished drawing.
- 01Prompt
Design a 6 m simply supported beam carrying 25 kN/m.
Describe your structure
Type it the way you would say it to a colleague. No model tree, no load cases to wire up.
- 02Analysis
Movastruct designs it
It builds the model, runs the analysis and sizes the section against the code — showing its working.
- 03Output
Review and download
Check the diagrams and the calculations line by line, then take the report away as a PDF.
Ways in
However the structure is already in front of you.
A line in a brief, a sketch on a page, a photograph of someone else’s drawing. Movastruct takes it in any of those forms — you should not have to retype a structure you can already see.
- 01Type it
6 m simply supported beam, 25 kN/m, C25/30
Say it in plain English
Describe the span, the load and the material the way you would to a colleague. No model tree, no dialog boxes.
- 02Sketch it
Draw it on the canvas
Rough out the member, its supports and its loads on the drafting canvas. Movastruct reads the sketch and builds the model.
- 03Photograph it
Upload a picture of it
Point a camera at a drawing, a whiteboard or a page of a brief. Upload the image and it becomes a structure you can solve.
Capabilities
Every member you were going to design by hand.
BBeam analysis & design
Spans, loads and reinforcement — from a single simply supported beam to a continuous run.
SSlab design
One-way and two-way slabs, with the reinforcement mesh sized and spaced for you.
CColumn design
Axial load and moment, main bars and links, with slenderness checked.
FFoundation design
Pad and strip footings sized against bearing capacity, punching shear and settlement.
P2D frame analysis
Portal and multi-storey frames under gravity and lateral load, solved and diagrammed.
REngineering reports
Every step of the working, with diagrams and code references, exported as a PDF.
Why engineers choose it
The calculation gets faster. The responsibility stays yours.
Movastruct is built to be checked. Nothing is hidden behind a black box, because you are the one who signs for it.
Describe it, don’t set it up
Plain EnglishNo model tree, no load cases to wire, no boundary conditions to tick. Say what the member is and what it carries.
Answers while you’re still thinking
InstantThe analysis that used to take an afternoon comes back before you have moved on to the next member.
Worked against the code
Code-compliantResults are checked against the relevant design standard, with the supporting clauses available whenever you want to verify the calculation.
It shows its working
TransparentEvery step is laid out to be followed, questioned and verified — the way a lecturer or a checker would want it.
Something you can hand over
ReportsDiagrams, calculations and references, exported as a PDF that reads like it came out of a practice.
Nothing to install
AnywhereRuns entirely in the browser, giving you a fast, accessible workspace for structural calculations wherever you work.
The difference
Built to design structures. Not to guess at them.
A general-purpose chatbot was never built to run a structural analysis, size reinforcement or cite a clause. Movastruct was built for nothing else — so the numbers are computed, not composed.

What comes back
One sentence. Every output.
This is the same beam from the top of the page, carried all the way through. Step through what Movastruct hands back — the model it built, the diagrams it solved, the steel it sized, and the report you take away.
