STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PRODUCTION
Structural Analysis
Gravity and lateral load analysis model production support that verifies your engineer’s structural
design.
Our Founding and Mission
Introduction
Structural analysis translates a building’s framing scheme into a demonstrated response to gravity, wind, and seismic loads, giving your engineer the data needed to confirm member sizing and lateral system performance before a design is finalized. NexMEP Global LLC provides structural analysis model production support to U.S. structural consulting firms, building analysis models from your engineer’s framing scheme, load criteria, and material properties, and producing the output your team uses to verify and refine the design.
Our role is to build an accurate analysis model from the design your engineer has established and to report the results clearly, so your engineer can confirm the design meets code requirements or make informed adjustments where the analysis indicates a member or connection needs revision. We do not set load criteria, design codes, or member sizing independently.
DESIGN ACCURACY & COMPLIANCE
Why This Service Matters
Structural analysis results are the specific evidence a structural engineer relies on to demonstrate code compliance for member sizing, deflection, and lateral system performance, making the accuracy of the analysis model itself just as important as the engineering judgment applied to interpreting its results. Because analysis models require precise geometry, load application, and boundary condition input matching the actual framing scheme, building and maintaining these models through multiple design revisions is a detail-intensive task that competes for time with other structural production work.
Production support allows analysis models to be built and updated efficiently alongside the framing design itself, giving your engineer timely results to inform member sizing and system decisions rather than a late-stage analysis that surfaces problems after the framing plan has already been finalized and coordinated with other disciplines.

Our structural analysis production support accommodates diverse material types and structural configurations, providing defensible analytical models for routine and complex building geometry.
Calculations
Software, Workflow & Coordination
Rigorous backup calculations formatted directly for permit submission and QA/QC documentation.
Software & Production Workflow
Models are built in industry-standard structural analysis packages. Geometry and member profiles are synchronized iteratively with evolving design phases to maintain alignment with active framing plans.
Revit & AutoCAD Coordination
Member geometry, orientation, sizes, and node locations are extracted directly from coordinated Revit/AutoCAD structural models to eliminate manual entry errors. Force outputs and deflections are cross-referenced back to framing plans for engineer review.
