FrameAI ran the same EN 1994 composite beam checks, EN 1993 frame analysis, connection design, and DSTV export that takes a detailer 22 hours. It took 11 minutes. Here's what came out.
Single-span composite frame with steel beams and in-situ concrete slab. 120 mm thick composite slab on steel decking. Loading per EN 1991-1-1 (dead + live) and EN 1991-1-3 (snow). Three-phase construction. Every dimension traceable to the input PDF.

Same pipeline: PDF upload → composite beam design → steel frame analysis → connection design → DSTV NC1 export across 3 phases.
Every number traceable to a real FrameAI run. EN 1994-1-1 composite checks included. No marketing fiction.

Everything FrameAI produced for this Shenzhen factory benchmark project — traceable, reproducible, EN 1994-1-1 composite checks included, across 3 phases.
These are the exact outputs from the 11-minute FrameAI run. All 3 export phases included.
"The composite beam design was always the bottleneck — EN 1994-1-1 stud spacing calculations, deflection checks at L/300, vibration analysis. FrameAI handled all of it in a single run, including the 3-phase export split. For our Shenzhen project with 2 400 tonnes across 3 phases, that 11-minute figure is credible. The manual alternative is 3 days of detailed calcs and then a week of drawing production."
