FRILO - Component-Oriented Structural Analysis.

FRILO offers specialized modules for beams, columns, slabs, walls, roofs, and foundations in concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and geotechnics, so engineers can select exactly the component they need and reach code-compliant results without building a full global FEM model. This reduces setup time and lets small offices handle more projects with the same staff.

With the Building Model and framework programs, FRILO determines vertical and horizontal load transfer through multi-storey structures, including wind, seismic, and inclination effects, and supports 2D/3D bar frameworks in multiple materials. This gives engineers confidence that component-level verifications reflect a realistic global load path, improving safety and minimizing rework at approval stages.

FRILO’s modules implement Eurocode-based calculation models and relevant DIN regulations, including second-generation Eurocodes in the new editions, so routine checks (punching shear, buckling, crack width, stability, and serviceability) follow up-to-date standards. This alignment directly reduces the risk of revisions from checking engineers, supports smoother approvals, and keeps calculations valid over the project lifecycle.

The FRILO BIM-Connector imports 3D building models as IFC or SAF files into the FRILO environment, allowing engineers to idealize analytical models, assign loads, and send back verified components to other ALLPLAN tools or FEM solutions. This integration cuts manual data transfer, prevents inconsistencies between model and calculations, and speeds up coordination with architects and other disciplines. The Ultimate Edition includes access to BIMPLUS, which extends your workflow beyond model import by providing a cloud-based collaboration environment for coordinating, reviewing, and managing your structural models. With BIMPLUS, project stakeholders can access a centralized digital model, track changes, and resolve issues in real time: ensuring that analysis results, geometry, and project data stay aligned throughout the entire lifecycle. Built on openBIM principles, BIMPLUS connects teams, disciplines, and data in one shared source of truth.

The Document Designer compiles analysis and design results from all relevant modules into a structured, clearly formatted output document that follows conventions expected by building authorities and checking engineers. This means reports are effectively done when calculations are finished, saving hours of manual write-up and helping firms demonstrate professional rigor.
