You are invited to register to watch the first in a series of webinars that will show how to benefit from using AI with LUSAS.

What will you see?

The MCP Server brings AI directly into your LUSAS workflow, making it easier to create, inspect and work with LUSAS models.

• Create new models
• Inspect, edit or fix existing models
• Automate repetitive tasks and workflows
• Obtain the results you need for design
• Find information and guidance on any LUSAS feature

See some of the exciting new and improved facilities available in Version 23.

• Underground - Soil material models for hardening and small strain hardening
• Overground - Pushover for steel structures, Fibre reinforced concrete modelling.
• Connected - Grasshopper, Visual Studio, Python and GitHub.

Recent releases have put LUSAS toe-to-toe with the market leaders in geotechnical analysis. But where LUSAS differs is its ability to also model the structure in detail, and all in one place.

Three presentation sessions highlight capabilities for these applications:

• 2D modelling of a tunnel with staged construction
• Pile modelling using p-y curves. 
• 3D modelling of soil and retaining wall.

Learn about new LUSAS plugin components for Grasshopper and see a range of model types showing the components in use:

• Live link - Live updates between Grasshopper and LUSAS.
• Custom attribute - Create any LUSAS attribute by providing the LPI commands that define it.
• Refer attribute - Refer to an attribute that exists in the LUSAS model.
• See also how to use Python inside Grasshopper to generate models parametrically.

Find out how to use our newly released official LUSAS plugin for Grasshopper to:

• Create structural models for LUSAS using dedicated Grasshopper components.
• Interact directly with Grasshopper parametric models, make parametric changes and preview the model in real-time.
• Seamlessly link to LUSAS with the press of a button.
