Integraph platform
Project-based workspaces, design tools, and shared concepts used across every Integraph engineering tool.
What is the Integraph platform?
Integraph is a collection of structural engineering design and analysis tools organised around real-world projects. You add the tools you need to each project (concrete sections, light gauge steel members, beams, etc.) and they share a common workspace, materials library, and design-standard selection.
This section of the documentation describes the parts of the platform that are not specific to any one tool: how projects are structured, how to get started, and the cross-tool glossary of engineering terms.
How work is organised
Every piece of work in Integraph fits into a four-level hierarchy:
| Level | What it is | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Project | A real-world engineering project | ”Office tower in Sydney”, “Warehouse retrofit” |
| Tool instance | One tool added to a project, scoped to a specific element or scope of work | ”Beam B1 - Level 2 (ACS)”, “Purlin P3 (LGS)“ |
| Design option | A specific design variant within a tool instance | ”300x600 RC beam, N20 bottom bars”, “C20015 lipped channel, 2400 mm span” |
| Element | Discrete inputs that make up a design option | A rebar, a strip, a load combination |
The same project can contain many tool instances, and each tool instance can carry several design options so you can compare alternatives side-by-side.
