Featured Projects
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." — Napoleon Hill
SAIYAN
RC element design per HRN EN 1992 and HRN EN 1998
- Rectangular and T section design for bending & shear
- Automatic reinforcement drawing generation
- Crack width and deflection verification
- Ductile RC wall detailing (DCM) per EN 1998-1
- Export to Word, RTF and PDF
- 3D beam and column geometry animation
HeatVIS
Arduino-based heat transfer visualization platform
- Heat conduction via radiation (Stefan-Boltzmann, Wien)
- PC communication & 3D plotting with Matlab
- MLX IR contactless thermometer up to 400°C
- VL53L0X sensor, WS2812B RGB LED, Nema17 stepper
SSAIYAN2
Web platform for interactive structural analysis and Eurocode design — built for engineers and students
- Structural analysis 2D: draw the frame, apply loads — internal forces, reactions and deflections update interactively with every change
- Second-order analysis, influence lines and moving loads, free-body views of any section or joint
- 6 Eurocode design modules live, 30+ planned across EC2–EC7; results flow from Structural analysis 2D straight into design
- Made for teaching as much as for practice — students see how a structure behaves, not just the final number
- One-click .dxf and .docx export with detailed drawings and calculation reports
- Bilingual HR/EN, works on all devices (Structural analysis 2D needs a desktop screen)
Audiobook
Audio study scripts for the Croatian professional engineering exam
- Question & answer format with short pauses — made for learning while walking, running or driving
- Generated with a custom text-to-audio tool that works with any content, of any length
- Engineering edition: 287 minutes of MP3, easily split into shorter parts
- ZOG edition: differences between the old and the new Building Act (34 min)
- ZOP edition: Physical Planning Act (38 min), with an editable Word Q&A template
- Free for everyone preparing for the exam — shared through the "Stručni ispit za građevinare" community
MGStruct
AutoCAD plugins that turn a 2D architectural drawing into a 3D structural and geometric model
- Layer transformation and drawing clean-up that prepares any architectural plan for scanning
- Automatic recognition of walls, columns, slabs, openings, parapets and beams, floor by floor
- Structural model stored inside the DWG with built-in verification and status colours
- Automatic dimensioning, grid axes and position numbering for every floor plan
- Pitched roofs, foundations and masonry structures with ring beams and lintels
- 3D solids and vertical sections generated from the model
- Models ready for most FEM and BIM software — Allplan, SCIA, Midas, Revit, Tower, ArchiCAD…
- C# / AutoCAD .NET API, tested on 20+ real projects
