OVERVIEW

Built for Structural Engineering Excellence

Standard foundation workflow

This edition covers the core geotechnical checks needed for many everyday building projects. It is designed for firms that need dependable foundation and groundworks tools without starting with the full specialist range.

VERSION 2027

New Features for FRILO Geotechnics Concept

Integrated AI Assistance
Take the full advantage of AI assistance without leaving your familiar FRILO environment . The integrated AI Center delivers conversational, 24/7 expert support, reducing onboarding time and reliance on manuals and ad hoc help.
Get ready for 2nd gen. Eurocodes
Explore and evaluate in advance the new regulations for steel, geotechnics and selected concrete workflows before they become mandatory. Do not waste time when the new regulations become mandatory, and stay ahead of your competitors.
Integrated soil layer modelling
Allplan users can define borehole input in Allplan, trigger background geotechnical calculation, and receive modeled soil layers back as 3D geometry. This saves time and avoids the need to have separate geotechnical tools and models.
Benefits

Why Choose FRILO Geotechnics Concept

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is FRILO Geotechnics Concept designed for?
It is suited to geotechnical engineers and structural designers who need reliable tools for standard foundations, typical groundworks, earth pressure, and basic settlement assessment.
Is this edition enough for routine building foundations?
Yes. It is designed to cover many everyday foundation and groundworks workflows, especially where projects do not require more advanced specialist pit or soil-mechanics analysis.
Can offices expand later into more specialized geotechnics?
Yes. Concept provides a strong base and can be complemented later by editions focused on pits, retaining structures, soil mechanics, or the full geotechnical scope.
