How it works

A fast costing workflow for developers and manufacturers planning modular steel chassis frames.

  1. 1. Configure the chassis

    Set module size, supports, lifting anchors, load assumptions, and preferred steel families.

  2. 2. Review the live preview

    Check the generated 3D frame and analytical setup before committing CPU time to analysis.

  3. 3. Run finite element analysis

    Compare serviceability, lifting behaviour, profile quantities, steel mass, and estimated manufacturing cost.
