Design Studio puts 98 validated engineering design tools in the Altrusion portal: plasma power balances to bolted-joint margins to dilution-fridge heat loads. The core tools run client-side in your browser — your geometry, loads, and operating points never leave your machine. And every answer ships with a bounded uncertainty interval, not false precision.
The core tools execute entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — inputs to those tools never leave your machine. Two clearly marked exceptions, DFM Check and server Jobs, send your design to Altrusion. For defense, nuclear, and export-sensitive work, that distinction is drawn where you can see it.
Skip the inputs you don't know yet. The answer honestly widens to cover them, and the report names exactly which input to pin down to tighten it. Physically scattering quantities like friction and emissivity stay uncertain even when you set them, because in reality they are.
Every model is tested against published handbook values and exact closed-form identities, with hundreds of validation anchors across the catalog. Every transcribed constant and fitted curve is flagged in the report. Level 1: indicative, and labeled that way.
Each tool asks for the handful of numbers that define your problem: the load, the pressure, the geometry. Everything else is optional refinement.
Optional inputs you leave at their defaults carry declared uncertainty bands. The tool propagates them through the physics: Monte Carlo, not guesswork.
Results lead with a 90% interval around the nominal answer and tell you which missing input drives the spread, so your next measurement is the one that matters.

How much to order, when to reorder, and how much buffer stock a service level really costs, EOQ, reorder point, safety stock, annual cost and implied fill rate in one screen.
Defense-procurement learning-curve estimator: lot-by-lot hours and burdened cost under both Crawford unit theory and Wright cum-average theory, exact discrete summation, mid-curve follow-on offsets, and bounded answers from an always-on learning-rate scatter band.
Turn one shift record into an improvement roadmap: see exactly where your planned production time goes (downtime, speed, rejects), what takt your demand sets, which station is the bottleneck, and how few stations could meet takt, with honest uncertainty bands on every headline number.
Is your process capable, and is your inspection plan actually protecting you? Cp/Cpk + PPM from your own measurements, plus exact-binomial OC-curve evaluation and design of single-sampling plans (AQL/LTPD, AOQL, ATI), with confidence intervals and honest caveats built in.
Should you buy it overseas or make it in-house? Itemized landed cost, amortized make cost, exact breakeven volume, multi-year TCO, and a volume-sensitivity check, with honest uncertainty bands on all four answers.
How much of the buy should the cheap supplier get? Sweeps the sourcing split against disruption risk (5000 seeded Monte Carlo trials per split) and hands you the optimal allocation, the risk-averse alternative, and the breakeven premium for the second source.
Vortex-panel airfoil + lifting-line wing screen: Cp(x), Cl, Cm_c/4, lift slope and zero-lift angle from the panel solve; CL, CDi, span efficiency e and spanwise loading vs the elliptic ideal from LLT; dimensional lift/drag at q with bounded 90% intervals and panel-convergence honesty.
Size gas manifolds and vent/feed lines in seconds: describe the network in one line, get node pressures, per-branch flows and choked-edge warnings with honest uncertainty bands.
How hot does it get, where, and how fast? Tool 87 time-marches a true 2-D finite-element conduction model of your part, heated edges, cooled edges, embedded inclusions, holes, and reports the peak temperature, its location and timing, probe curves and the time to reach steady state, cross-checked against a direct steady solve and an exact energy balance.
Steady laminar 2-D Navier-Stokes screening with a genuine SIMPLE pressure-correction solver, cavity, channel and backward-step scenarios anchored to Ghia and exact Poiseuille physics, with honest grid-delta-widened bounds.
Classic 88-line-style SIMP minimum-compliance topology optimization on the repo's own FEM spine: OC updates, exact volume constraint, filtered sensitivities, four canonical load cases, flood-fill connectivity check, and a coarser-grid honesty companion that widens the reported bounds.
Solves the complex Helmholtz AC-magnetics equation on a 2-D FE mesh for three canonical eddy-current problems, busbar skin/proximity (Rac/Rdc), induction heating, and conductive shielding, with machine-precision energy balance and honest, mesh-delta-widened bounds.
Solve real wire antennas in seconds: a genuine MoM electric-field-integral-equation solve (not a lookup table) gives you feed impedance, VSWR, gain, pattern, F/B and resonant length for dipoles, monopoles and 3-element Yagis, with honest uncertainty bounds and validity guards.
Marches the state points of your power-conversion cycle, steam Rankine with reheat and regeneration on IF97-exact properties, air Brayton, sCO2 recompression, or ORC, and hands back efficiency, net MWe, and the heat-rejection duty your cooling system has to swallow.
From megawatts rejected to cold-water temperature, makeup water, tower fill demand, and parasitic power, wet, dry, or once-through, in one bounded screen.
Type your plant as six kinds of one-line components and get the whole heat balance back: every stream temperature, every duty, pump parasitics, a pinch screen and a machine-precision energy-closure check, plus a flowsheet diagram and temperature ladder drawn straight from the grammar.
Radial one-line sizing screen: feeder cables with NEC-class ampacity and derating, voltage drop vs the classic 3%/5% limits, transformer loading, first-order bus fault from %Z, and standby generator/UPS sizing, with a one-line diagram sketch and bounded results.
Type your plant as blocks and wiring, "PUMP-A || PUMP-B -> HX1 -> (COOLER1 2of3 COOLER2 COOLER3)", and get system availability, downtime hours, annual cost, which block to fix first, and what one more redundant unit would buy.
Bounded LCOE screen: year-by-year DCF with IDC, degradation and decommissioning, CRF identity cross-check, component waterfall, and a sensitivity tornado, capacity factor and capex dominate, so the 90% interval is the headline.
Process-control commissioning screen: FOPDT plant (entered or fitted from step-test data), five published tuning rules compared side by side, exact-delay closed-loop simulation of setpoint and load steps, and numeric Bode gain/phase margins, Kp/Ti/Td tables plus overshoot, settling, IAE and robustness in one report.
Turn test data into a calibrated model: Tool 104 fits any suite tool's uncertain inputs to your measurements, staying inside the declared uncertainty bands, and flags model tension when the data want to leave them.
Roll up your air demand, size the receiver, and put a dollar figure on leaks and part-load waste, the whole compressed-air utility screened in one pass, with a fixed-vs-VSD saving estimate included.
Will that fan farm keep the operator below 90 dBA? List your sources' sound power levels, set the distance, and this screen A-weights the octave spectrum at the receiver, ranks the dominant source, shows what a barrier or enclosure buys you, and computes the exact OSHA 5-dB exchange-rate noise dose.
Will your chiller, transformer, or skid stay bolted down in the design earthquake? Enter weight, CG, footprint, anchor pattern, and SDS, get Fp, per-anchor tension/shear, and an interaction pass/fail with honest bounds.
All tools are Level 1 (indicative): fast, validated screening physics for design exploration and quoting, not code-stamped calculations or a substitute for detailed analysis. Every assumption, transcribed constant, and placeholder is flagged in the tool's own report. The desktop toolchain adds a design-space optimizer and a parameter-sweep / Monte-Carlo meta-tool that drives any tool in the catalog. Missing something? .
