What is AxisVM

The ideal solution for structural engineers.

Structural engineering professionals can take advantage of a powerful and intuitive software, designed specifically to meet the advanced needs of engineers — from first sketch to final verification.

AxisVM — Finite Element Analysis

Multi-material FEA concrete · steel · timber · masonry

Multi-material design & verification A powerful, intuitive platform specifically engineered for the comprehensive design, analysis, and verification of reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and masonry structures.

Advanced analytical capabilities Delivers precise behavioral modeling by utilizing nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), plastic material simulations, and highly efficient static and dynamic calculation methods.

Streamlined, high-speed workflow Features a modern, easy-to-use graphical interface that dramatically accelerates all phases of the design process, taking you from initial concept to final verification faster.

Globally trusted industry standard Recognized as a leading structural engineering software across Europe and trusted by a rapidly growing global community of professionals to power their next projects.

Model.

A clear, intelligent interface that supports every stage of the workflow — be creative in 3D perspective without fighting the tool.

Modern, transparent user interface A vast set of commands and options in a single, uncluttered environment — modeling, definition, analysis and result query never leave one window.

Effective load assignment Automatic snow and wind generators, load cases and combinations built to Eurocode — hours of repetitive load work reduced to minutes.

BIM compatible Exchange models with ArchiCAD, Revit, ALLPLAN and other BIM tools through IFC — the structural model stays part of the project, not an island.

Analyse.

An efficient solver for static, dynamic and stability problems — without limitations, even on the most demanding projects.

Linear, nonlinear & plastic static analysis High-performance analysis tools for everyday frames and for geometrically or materially nonlinear problems alike.

Dynamics: time history, modes, pushover Linear and nonlinear time-history analysis, frequency and mode-shape calculation, pushover analysis for seismic assessment.

Fast parallel solver Multi-threaded, partitioned solver technology with an unlimited number of equations — model size is your call, not the software's.

Design.

Design modules for every structural material — checks and verifications in accordance with Eurocode standards.

Reinforced concrete

Beams, columns, plates, walls and footings — reinforcement design and crack-width control.

Steel

Design checks with automatic cross-section optimisation.

Timber

Masonry

Verification of masonry structures and strengthening.

Document.

Reports that write themselves — accurate, detailed and always in sync with the model.

Automatic template-based reports Calculations and design documentation generated from templates — rerun the analysis and the report updates with it.

Eurocode-compliant calculations Detailed, reviewer-ready output with all intermediate results in accordance with Eurocode standards.

AxisVM is a finite element structural analysis and design software for civil and structural engineers. It covers static, dynamic and seismic analysis of steel, reinforced concrete, timber and composite structures, with built-in design checks to Eurocode — all inside one connected 3D model. AxisVM is fully BIM compatible and combines seamlessly with modern software solutions, exchanging models through IFC with the tools your team already uses.

AxisVM pairs a fast, uncluttered interface with several advanced analysis methods that many far more expensive packages simply don't offer. It's built to be learned quickly, priced fairly, and licensed on your terms — permanent licenses with no subscription drain.

AxisVM is available in several configurations, with a wide range of additional modules you can add on top — from dynamic and seismic analysis to timber, steel connection design and more. Because the price depends on exactly which combination fits your workflow, there's no single number that covers every user.

Please contact us and we'll put together an offer tailored to your needs.

AxisVM helps you design and analyse reinforced concrete, steel, timber and masonry structures, all inside one model. Take a look at the full range of available modules on our official website: axisvm.eu/reinforced-concrete-structures.
