This guide explains the main areas of the Clariti workspace and how to use them effectively.

Main Layout

The Clariti workspace is divided into key areas:

Top Navigation Bar

The top bar provides:
  • Project name — Click to access project settings
  • Design / Results tabs — Switch between input mode and results view
  • Close — Return to the project list
The left sidebar contains collapsible input panels:

Frame Connection

  • Frame Fixing Type — Select connection type (e.g., Cast-in Channel)
  • Slab Thickness — Depth of concrete member (mm)
  • Channel Type — Filter by channel family (e.g., All Channels)

Loading

  • Characteristic Load — Applied load value (kN/m)
  • Material Type — Cladding material (e.g., Brick)

Dimensions

  • Cavity Width — Distance from structure face (mm)
  • Run Length — Length of the bracket run (mm)
  • Bracket Drop — Vertical offset of bracket (mm)

Bracket Options

Optional parameters for bracket configuration.

Fine Tuning

Advanced settings for detailed control.
Panels marked “Required” must be completed before running optimization. Optional panels provide additional control when needed.

3D Visualization (Center)

The main area displays your design in 3D:

View Controls

Use the toolbar at the bottom of the viewport:
  • Camera presets — Quick view angles (up, down, left, right, rotate)
  • Reset view — Return to default perspective

Export Options

Download 3D models directly from the toolbar:
  • DWG — AutoCAD format
  • STP — STEP file for CAD software
  • 3DM — Rhino 3D format

Optimization Results Popup

After running optimization, a popup appears showing:
  • Optimization Complete — Status indicator
  • Bracket Centres — Calculated spacing (mm)
  • Total Deflection — Predicted deflection (mm)
  • Weight per m — Material usage (kg/m)
  • Ask AI — Get AI assistance with your design
  • View Results — Open the full results panel

Bottom Controls

Run Optimization

Click the Run Optimization button to calculate the optimal design based on your inputs.

Design Edits / Chat Tabs

  • Design edits — View history of changes
  • Chat — AI assistant for design help

Results Panel

Click Results in the top navigation or View Results in the popup to see:

Summary

  • Overall pass/fail status
  • Utilization percentage
  • Key design values

Detailed Calculations

Expandable sections showing:
  • Reference clauses from EN 1992-4
  • Input values and factors applied
