Workspace Overview
The OZR Labs engineering workspace combines structural calculations, code compliance validation, and finite element modeling into a single cohesive web environment. Your projects are stored in the cloud, allowing real-time design edits and instantaneous verification against Australian codes.
Pro-Tip
You can open multiple tabs in the OZR workspace to compare different load cases or concrete member spans in parallel. All inputs auto-save locally and sync with your dashboard every 5 seconds.
Solving Calculations
OZR Labs' core solver runs asynchronously in the cloud. When you adjust design factors (e.g., concrete strength, steel grade, or column height), the web interface securely transmits the design parameters to our high-performance cloud solvers, which execute the structural compliance checks and return the verified results to your browser in real-time.
This workflow ensures that even highly complex buckling or biaxial bending simulations remain highly responsive and do not lock up your device.
Exporting Reports
Calculation reports can be exported as PDF files directly from the top utility bar of any active calculator. These reports document:
- All project metadata (Engineer name, client, date, RPEQ status).
- A comprehensive summary of input dimensions, load values, and material factors.
- Detailed calculations of limit states (ULS/SLS checks) with formula steps.
- Direct clause references (e.g., AS 3600 Clause 8.2 for shear capacity).
AS 3600 Concrete
Our concrete design suite automates reinforcement layout checks, one-way/two-way shear, punching shear, and lifting stress analysis. Concrete design checks conform to AS 3600:2018 (including Amendment 1 & 2).

AS 4100 Steel
The steel Connection Designer resolves complex node joints (e.g., baseplates, apex connections, and bolted cleats) to AS 4100. It computes bolt group shear, weld throat stresses, baseplate bearing, and local web yielding/crippling checks.
AS/NZS 1170 Loading
Wind Action loads are computed dynamically using geographical parameters. The Wind Load Site Analyzer determines design wind speed (Vdes) and dynamic pressure (q) per AS/NZS 1170.2:2021.
Supported parameters include Wind Region (A, B, C, D), Terrain Category (1, 2, 3, 4), Topographic Multiplier (Mt), and Shielding Multiplier (Ms).
Solving via API
OZR Labs exposes REST endpoints for developers to integrate checks directly into custom workflows (e.g., Grasshopper scripts or local spreadsheets).

DXF Formats
Calculations can import and export standard AutoCAD DXF formats. When importing, OZR Labs parses layers named OZR_NODES and OZR_MEMBERS to auto-reconstruct structural grids within the 3D solver interface.
