Pocket Pillar - Structural analysis and design on your phone or web.

Pocket Pillar is a structural design and analysis tool built for engineers who work on-site. Design RCC frames, run full finite element analysis against IS 456/1893 codes, generate bar bending schedules and material takeoffs—all from your phone or web browser. Every frame is analyzed as a connected structure with utilization colors mapped to the 3D model. You get instant PDF reports with dimensioned drawings, schedules, and cost estimates ready for contractors.

Hey PH community! I'm Gourav, and I built Pocket Pillar because I was frustrated. Every structural project meant opening a desktop workstation or sending designs to an analyst. I wanted to design and check RCC frames on-site, on my phone, without losing accuracy. So I spent the last year building a real FEM solver that fits in your pocket. It's not a lookup-table app — it actually analyzes your frame as a connected structure, checks it against IS 456 and IS 1893, and generates bar bending schedules and material estimates automatically. The real test: I used it on a G+2 residential project last month. Designed the frame, ran analysis, generated structural reports with schedules and 3D models — all from my phone. Client approved the design in one sitting. I made decent money and didn't waste a week on software licenses or manual calculations. What I'm most proud of: Full structural analysis engine that gives the same numbers every time (we golden-check every release) PDF reports with dimensioned drawings, BBS, and material takeoffs ready for site Web + mobile sync — start on your laptop, continue on your phone, results are identical 24-hr feature turnaround when engineers ask for something (thanks to the feedback) Next: We're working on steel design, foundation analysis, and a collaborative site manager so your team stays in sync. Happy to answer any questions. What would make this useful for your workflow?
