Structural engineers need a reliable method to determine the root cause of wood truss failures, but lack clear diagnostic data and analysis tools.

No clear existing software solution for post-failure truss analysis; relies on manual review of drawings and site conditions.

Implied Software Gaps

A tool that can automate failure mode analysis from structural drawings and loading conditions

App Concept

TrussForensic Pro

A diagnostic software that uses structural drawings, load data, and failure patterns to identify likely causes of wood truss failures. It automates root cause analysis, reducing reliance on manual investigation and guesswork.

Key Features

Upload and analyze structural drawings
Load path and failure pattern simulation
Database of common failure modes and causes
PDF report generation with findings and recommendations

Target Users: Structural engineers and failure investigators in construction, working at engineering firms or forensic consulting companies

Revenue Model: $199 per analysis report or $999 annual subscription for unlimited analyses
