GMatrix-7 automatically designs metal building systems, light-gauge steel and open-web steel joists — generating approval drawings and a bill of materials, from a simple box building to complex structures with cranes and multi-story mezzanines, in minutes.
GMatrix-7 develops cutting-edge software for structural engineering — metal buildings, light-gauge steel and open-web steel joists — built for productivity and accuracy.
From a simple box building to complex structures with several cranes and multi-story mezzanines, GMatrix-7 designs the frame, generates approval drawings and produces the bill of materials — ensuring the optimum, safe design within minutes.
Design to the standard your project demands — across metal buildings, joists and light-gauge steel, for US, Canadian and European practice.
Clear-span and multi-span steel buildings to IBC — frames, bracing, cranes and mezzanines, fully resolved and detailed.
Optimize light-gauge steel components with precision-driven design, in accordance with AISI and other principal codes.
Effortlessly design and detail open-web steel joists with confidence — ensuring structural integrity and efficiency aligned with SJI 100-2020 for US & Canadian design codes.
GMatrix-7 completes the full design → approval-drawings → BOM cycle in minutes — elevating the cycle time of competitive quotations and turning more bids into jobs in hand.
GMatrix-7 is unmatched in speed and automation for pre-engineered building workflows — a clear favorite in that niche.

When a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023, we had four projects in the affected region. We learned a day or two later that there was no problem with our structures. After that experience, there isn't much more to say about Matrix.
The automated design feature of GMatrix-7 / OWSJ has significantly reduced our project timelines. Highly recommended — and it meets what is expected in the US market.
