Skills – Your Key Tools

A skill is a procedure that you define once and can reuse. It features fixed inputs, a set calculation path, and a cited source. The included library of over 30 skills for routine design checks has transparent calculation paths and cited code sources. Save custom checks and standard connection details so your entire team can access them globally.

Your Procedures & Tools

Once your office has worked something out, it is captured and made available to the entire team, from individual member checkups to your own detailed rules.

  • Skills Library

    The ready-made skills cover recurring engineering tasks, such as design code checks based on EN 1991, and include tools for drawing analysis, format conversion, and data exchange with RFEM. Each skill includes a version and date to ensure complete traceability of your projects.

    You can also transform your own procedures into custom skills via a simple, guided process—no coding necessary. Automate the quarterly check, the specific connection detail your workshop prefers, or the table you always use for documentation.

  • Prompts Library

    A prompt is a well-phrased question. Save the ones you use often, tag them, and share them with your team so that no one has to figure out how to ask a question each time. A prompt can point directly to a skill, which then runs the procedure behind it.

  • Models Library

    Store and manage your 3D models and CAD files within a single project. Mia supports uploads of native files in various formats, such as IFC, DXF, STEP, DSTV, and GLB. Whenever you start a new analysis task, you can easily select your saved structural geometry.

The Skills Library in the Dlubal CALC App offers a comprehensive set of ready-made checks including steel and concrete analysis, RFEM diagnostics, and format conversion for efficient engineering workflows.

Show Every Step

No black box: Every result includes the intermediate calculations and the exact standard clause behind them.

Dark blue international standards symbol in SVG format representing standards compliance.

Manage Your National Annex

Dlubal CALC automatically looks up and flags differences in National Annexes, including the derivation and source.

Work on Your RFEM Model

Create members and loads, modify the model, and read and export results — all in conversation. It is connected to RFEM 6 and the Geo Zone Tool via Dlubal Connector.

Full Design per Standards

Enter the span, load, and material. Dlubal CALC checks it for compliance with standards, such as Eurocode, and suggests a more cost-effective option.

Read Common Data and Exchange Formats

IFC, DXF, STEP, DSTV, and GLB are read directly, and only your part is extracted from a large model.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a skill in Dlubal CALC?

A skill is a saved, reusable engineering workflow. Rather than solving similar details from scratch for each new project, you save your proven solutions as Skills. The Skill then acts as a parameterized template that automatically applies your logic to new situations with slightly different parameters.

Do I need to know how to code to create my own skill?

No programming knowledge is necessary. Dlubal CALC features a built-in tool called the Skill Author. Using a standard guided conversation in the chat, you can transform your own engineering know-how into a fully functional automation.

What is the difference between the Prompts Library and the Skills Library?

The Prompts Library stores frequently used text instructions and questions. Saving these text snippets helps your team avoid repeatedly typing complex engineering requests.

The Skills Library contains the automated workflows and calculation procedures themselves. In short, a prompt is the text you use to communicate with Mia. A skill is the underlying tool that Mia uses to perform the engineering task. You can link your saved prompts directly to a specific skill to create a seamless workflow.
