Beams
Maximum moment, shear and support reactions for simply supported, cantilever and fixed-end beams. Elastic deflection from the section and concrete class.
L = 6 m, q = 20 kN/m → M = 90 kNm, V = 60 kN
ZARDA answers engineering calculations on your own computer, works inside AutoCAD, Tekla Structures, SAP2000 and ETABS, and writes the scripts you keep rewriting. Connect an AI model when you want one. It still works when you don't.
Questions that have one right answer are solved by ZARDA itself, instantly, without sending anything to an AI model. Every answer shows the formula, the numbers that went into it and the assumptions it made.
Maximum moment, shear and support reactions for simply supported, cantilever and fixed-end beams. Elastic deflection from the section and concrete class.
Required flexural reinforcement with minimum and maximum ratio checks, bar areas, rebar weights and a take-off for columns and beams. Today these follow the Turkish standard TS 500.
Concrete volume, formwork area, slab self-weight, pad footing size, section properties, unit conversions and percentages with tax.
Ask “How much rebar do I need for a column?” and ZARDA does not invent a number. It asks for the section, the height, the bars and the stirrups, then calculates from your reply.
“If it rains, the site closes. The site is open today. Did it rain?” The answer is no, with the rule and the reason written out, and “cannot be determined” when the facts do not settle it.
ZARDA connects to the program running on your computer and reads the open drawing or model. Anything that changes your work asks for your confirmation first.
Drawing summary, take-off by layer, block tables, drawing checks, find and replace in text, layer tools, and loading AutoLISP commands into the open drawing.
Model summary, selecting parts by profile, model checks and ready-made macros for part lists and weights.
Model summary, running the analysis, base reactions per load case and saving the model, through the CSI API.
Transfer members from one program to another, for example a layer of lines from AutoCAD into Tekla as profiles.
45 ready-made templates filled in from your sentence: the folder, the layer, the text to replace. ZARDA checks the syntax, explains what the code does and warns about lines that delete or overwrite.
It also recognizes, checks and explains code in SQL, HTML, CSS, TypeScript, Java, C, C++, Go, Rust, PHP, MATLAB and Bash.
Calculations, commands, code templates and document tools run in ZARDA's own local brain.
Run a local model with Ollama, or add your own Gemini, Claude or ChatGPT key for harder questions.
Running code, changing a drawing, deleting a file or a saved item all wait for your yes.
Prices, rates and news are looked up on the web and shown with the pages they came from, not guessed.
Use my computer. With a Claude API key, ZARDA can look at your screen and use the mouse and keyboard to carry out a task you type. It asks before every task and stops the moment you press Stop.
One installer for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). Updates install over the previous version and keep your chats and settings.
