Lab Not for sale

Review against a named standard

In our lab, an AI agent checked a play tower against BS EN 71-8 and Eurocode 5, redesigned it, and checked the new model again.

This is what we are building, not something you can buy. Lab work appears in demos and case studies, and is not in any version for sale.

What we are building

  • It reads the model from a copy, never the original, and measures every body. On the play tower it also found 30 overlapping solids where joints had never been modelled.
  • It checks the model against rules from a named standard. Each rule carries its clause and says where its limit came from: the current edition, an older text, or engineering judgement.
  • It runs hand calculations with every load's source listed: 18 Eurocode 5 checks with the UK National Annex on the play tower.
  • It remodels as a new file, deriving each new dimension from a rule limit, then checks the new model, not its own proposal.
  • It writes it up: a GA drawing, STEP file, cut list and hashed manifest for each design, and a report comparing them. On the play tower, 19 failures became 0, with 14 items left to verify.

What it is not, yet

  • Design review is not in the Agent you can buy.
  • Prepared, not certified. Every output says it was prepared by an AI agent and has not been checked. A competent person must verify it before anything is made or sold.
  • What the model cannot show stays "verify", never "pass": fasteners, timber treatment, warning labels, rope specification, anchor pull-out and bolted joints, on the play tower.
  • A rule that quotes an older edition is marked superseded until someone checks it against a licensed copy of the current one.
  • The review was run by an AI agent driving SOLIDWORKS through its API in our lab, which is not how the shipping Agent works.
