ZeroFrame

Strength, by design.

Shape the ground, lay out the roads and frame the structure, all in one live project.

Analyze it, check it and detail every bolt and bar, with results you can trace.

40 kNMAX STRESS0.62 of limitDESIGN CODE SHOWN

Sites and roads

Shape the ground.
Lay the road.

Survey points become terrain, and a single line sweeps into a finished road.

Cut and fill balance as you grade, with volumes counted live.

EARTHCUTFILL

Structural analysis

Watch the forces
find their way.

Load the frame and see deflections, moments and stresses appear on the model.

Every result names the design code and method behind it, ready for an engineer's sign-off.

12 kN/mUTIL0.80

Steel and concrete

Every bolt.
Every bar.

Connections, welds and reinforcement detailed in true 3D.

Shop drawings and bending schedules come straight from the model.

What's inside

From the ground up.

See all ZeroFrame features
  • Terrain and survey

    Points, scans and contours turned into a live ground surface.

  • Grading and earthworks

    Pads, slopes and ponds, with cut and fill counted as you go.

  • Roads and corridors

    Alignments, profiles and sections that sweep into a road.

  • Drainage and utilities

    Pipe networks that check their own slopes and cover.

  • Steel structures

    Beams, columns and bracing from standard profiles.

  • Connections

    Plates, bolts and welds from a library of ready connections.

  • Concrete and rebar

    Slabs, walls and footings with every bar placed.

  • Structural analysis

    Loads, combinations and results you can see on the model.

  • Design checks

    Members checked against the code you choose, with the working shown.

  • Drawings and schedules

    Arrangements, shop drawings and bar schedules from the model.

  • Erection sequence

    Plan the build order and play it back.

  • Your partner engineers too

    Ask for a load case, a grading option or a member check.

Works with

Works with the rest of your project.

ZeroFrame works on the same project as the architect and the builder. Move a column and the drawings, quantities, schedule and render all follow.

  1. Bp23 Blueprint
  2. Zf24 ZeroFrame
  3. Zb25 ZeroBuild
  4. Zp27 ZeroPlan
Design in Blueprint → engineer it in ZeroFrame → coordinate it in ZeroBuild → schedule it in ZeroPlan
  • Blueprint

    Grids, levels and walls arrive from the architect's model, and changes flow both ways.

  • ZeroBuild

    Structure, roads and utilities checked for clashes against every other trade.

  • ZeroPlan

    Pours, steel erection and earthworks scheduled from the real model.

  • Flowmotion

    Explain the structure with animated load paths and build sequences.

No. ZeroFrame shows which design code and method produced every result, warns when inputs fall outside the range a method was checked for, and never presents a calculation as certified. A professional engineer signs off.
