Behind every remarkable structure are engineers who make ambitious ideas possible. ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

The Dlubal Community Awards 2026 celebrate their creativity, technical expertise and dedication.

From elegant pedestrian bridges to expressive timber roofs and complex building structures, the projects in this video highlight the breadth of structural engineering. Each brings its own challenges finding an efficient structural form, working with material properties and turning architectural intent into buildable details.

They also give us an opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from one another and recognise the people behind the calculations.

Thank you to our community for sharing your work and inspiring fellow engineers.

From PDF Drawing to RFEM 6 Model with AI | Dlubal CALC

Remodeling a structure from a drawing is rarely the hardest part of a project, but it is often one of the slowest. The geometry is already defined on the sheet, yet every node and member still has to be entered again by hand. The Drawing Analysis skill in Dlubal CALC takes over that step. Upload your drawing, tell Mia what you need in plain English, and she reads the sheet, extracts the key dimensions, nodes, and members, and links every value back to the view it came from.

Next, switch to the RFEM Modeling skill and set your modeling rules. Mia creates the model directly in RFEM 6, then reads it back and compares it with the analysis, member by member and node by node. You get a model you can trace and verify without writing a single line of code, and the engineering decisions remain yours.

See the full workflow from drawing to RFEM 6 model in the video, and discover Dlubal CALC at calc.dlubal.com.

๐ŸŒŠ A new wave in Milanโ€™s skyline.

Designed by BIG โ€“ Bjarke Ingels Group, CityWave connects two office buildings with a spectacular suspended canopy, creating a 4,500 mยฒ sheltered public plaza in the CityLife district.

Its double-curved roof combines 19 cables with five-layer cross-laminated timber panels to span nearly 140 m. Structural engineering was carried out by HB โ€“ Holzner & Bertagnolli Engineering srl.

๐Ÿ’ป Dlubal RFEM helped engineers understand this complex structure through detailed global and local finite element models, supporting:

๐Ÿ”น Nonlinear analysis of the cable-supported roof
๐Ÿ”น Assessment of construction stages and load redistribution
๐Ÿ”น Evaluation of wind effects and serviceability
๐Ÿ”น Detailed analysis of connections and support regions

โ˜€๏ธ The roof also integrates approximately 11,000 mยฒ of photovoltaic panels, generating around 1,200 MWh of energy annually.

An ambitious architectural vision brought to life through timber, cables and advanced structural analysis.

AI in Structural Analysis: Tool, Not Replacement โญโญโญโญโญ

Miguel Moifo (ENSPY x Polytech Lille) shared his feedback after our webinar:
"Yesterday, I attended the webinar "AI and Structural Analysis โ€“ Dlubal CALC", presented by Daniel Dlubal and Rebecca Gรถbel. The central idea really struck me: structural analysis software needs to be rethought. We are moving from a simple calculation program to a true workspace, where artificial intelligence supports engineers throughout their work. The live demo, featuring the structural analysis of a carport in Dlubal CALC, made this shift very tangible. Nevertheless, one thing stays with me above all: AI can speed up the work, but it replaces neither an understanding of structural behavior nor the engineer's critical thinking. The engineer is the one who decides and takes responsibility. Thank you to Dlubal Software for such an insightful hour."

Different file formats. One project. Whatโ€™s the next step?

BIM and CAD workflows often mean working with files from different tools, formats, and project partners. The challenge is knowing which conversion route fits the task ahead.

With the Skills Library in Dlubal CALC, you can work with supported BIM and CAD conversion procedures and choose the appropriate route for your workflow.

From IFC to SAF and other tested formats, CALC helps make working across different software environments more straightforward.

Because exchanging data shouldnโ€™t slow down the engineering process.

Explore BIM & CAD conversion possibilities with Dlubal CALC. ๐Ÿ‘‡
