One continuous model

Inputs become engineering evidence.

Every step reads the same building state. Frame geometry defines the available aisles, the 3D model follows the same topology, and the analysis handoff opens the staged model in the installed licensed MATRIX application.

  1. 01 / DEFINE

    Set the building basis

    Codes, geometry, bays, secondary steel, loads, sheeting and materials stay organized by engineering task.

    Structured inputs
  2. 02 / CONFIGURE

    Add real project conditions

    Configure a crane runway, mezzanine plan areas and building accessories against the actual frame topology.

    Topology-aware
  3. 03 / ANALYZE

    Run licensed MATRIX

    The current BIM is staged, the installed licensed application is detected, and results are collected back into the workspace.

    Visible handoff
  4. 04 / DELIVER

    Review and export

    Inspect ratios, deflections, reactions, members, material quantities and pricing without rebuilding the model.

    Traceable output
The G-Matrix workspace

A calmer way to manage a complicated building.

Use the same workspace for precise inputs and spatial review. Select a view below.

Inputs stay constrained by the model. Clear Span exposes one aisle, A–E, and the crane bridge spans the complete clear width.
Three structural systems

Purpose-built modules.
One engineering language.

GMatrix-7 supports the practical systems used across industrial and commercial steel construction, with a shared focus on repeatable design and useful outputs.

LGS

Light Gauge Steel

Cold-formed member workflows aligned with AISI practice and the wider building definition.

  • Z and C sections
  • Purlin and girt design
  • Section checks
OWSJ

Open Web Steel Joists

Joist design and detailing outputs aligned with SJI practice for repeatable production work.

  • Component design
  • Deflection review
  • BOM-ready results
Designed for review

See where the model came from, and where it is going.

The BIM remains readable, units can switch between metric and imperial, and validation identifies exactly which input needs attention before a run.
