Services & capabilities

Engineering workflows, automated responsibly.

ABAXES takes on selected automation work and collaborations that connect analysis, BIM and documentation tools — and remove the repetitive steps between them. Scope is agreed case by case, and engineering responsibility always stays with the engineer.

01

Engineering Workflow Automation

Map a repetitive engineering process, then automate the steps that do not need judgement: data preparation, model updates, checks and report assembly.

  • Process mapping and an automation plan
  • Scripts with clear inputs, outputs and logs
  • Documentation and handover

Python · Excel · Software APIs

02

Revit / BIM Automation

Use the Revit model as structured data — extracting, validating and updating elements, parameters and sheets programmatically.

  • Parameter and data extraction
  • Model checks and clean-up routines
  • Schedule and sheet automation

Revit API · Python

03

Structural Analysis Workflow Integration

Connect BIM and analysis models so geometry, sections and loads are not re-entered by hand — with every transfer reported for review.

  • Revit ↔ ETABS data mapping
  • Consistent naming, units and section libraries
  • Transfer summaries for engineer review

Revit · ETABS · SAFE

04

ETABS / SAFE Automation

Drive ETABS and SAFE through their APIs to build, update, run and read models consistently.

  • Model generation from structured inputs
  • Load patterns and combinations set up explicitly
  • Results extracted to tables and reports

05

AI Engineering Agents

Agents that operate engineering software through defined, auditable tools — useful for repetitive modelling and data tasks, never a substitute for design judgement.

  • Tool definitions for specific software actions
  • Human approval steps and action logs
  • Evaluation on known cases before use

Language models · Tool interfaces · Python

06

Engineering Software Automation

Automate everyday operations across CAD, BIM and analysis applications: batch exports, model housekeeping, file and drawing management.

  • Batch processing of models and drawings
  • Consistent export and naming rules
  • Repeatable, logged runs

CAD / BIM APIs · Python

07

Digital Engineering

Turn scattered drawings, spreadsheets and model outputs into connected, traceable project information.

  • Structured data for project information
  • Summaries generated from model data
  • Traceable links between source and output

Model data · Spreadsheets · Databases

08

Custom Engineering Productivity Tools

Small, focused tools for one team’s recurring task — calculators, checkers, converters — built to be understood and maintained.

  • Requirements written with the people who use the tool
  • Simple interfaces, transparent calculations
  • Source code and documentation handed over

Process

How an engagement works.

Clear scope first, working software early, and validation before anything is relied on.

Step 01

Discover

A short conversation about the workflow, the software and the pain points.

Step 02

Scope

A written scope: what will be automated, what will not, and how success is checked.

Step 03

Build

Small increments using official APIs, shown working early and often.

Step 04

Validate

Checked against manual results or known cases, with limits recorded.

Step 05

Hand over

Source, documentation and a walkthrough so the tool stays maintainable.

Responsible use

What automation does — and does not do.

AI and automation can remove a great deal of manual effort. They do not remove the need for qualified engineering review.

ABAXES work aims to

  • Automate defined, repetitive steps
  • State assumptions, units and limits explicitly
  • Validate against manual or known results
  • Document what was built and how it behaves

ABAXES does not

  • Replace professional engineering judgement
  • Issue design approvals or stamped drawings
  • Act as engineer of record through software
  • Promise results before they have been tested
