SimBond bonds a proven physics baseline with machine learning — combining the trust of an explicit formula with the accuracy of 560 full FEM simulations.
An improved SRSS formula with coupling coefficients establishes a transparent, code-aligned resistance baseline — no black box.
A physics-informed neural network (PINN), trained on 560+ in-house FEM cases, learns the residual the physics misses, sharpening every prediction.
Pass / fail classification with a resistance band and safety margin — returned in under three seconds, in your browser.
Structural facades
Truss connections
Glass curtain wallsDial in N, Vy, Vz, My and Mz and watch the hybrid model resolve resistance in real time — the same engine that powers the full design tool.
Legacy connection tools are powerful but heavy — desktop-bound, per-seat, and opaque. SimBond keeps the rigor and drops the friction.
