I am a civil engineer in Burkina Faso and a user of Archicad as well as design software. But honestly, as an engineer, I find that I waste too much time manually designing my analytical plans in AutoCAD or Archicad. For the past year, since the advent of AI, I've been wondering if, instead of doing the design manually, there was a way to automatically generate the analytical model using AI assistance. We engineers would save a lot of time. So, these are my concerns. Through my research, I learned that Archicad can generate the analytical model, but I still think that this option is contingent on me having to define my structural elements beforehand, which I think will also consume a lot of time. Therefore, I dare to believe that AI assistance could save us this.

there are a lot of things that AI will eventually be able to do... but so far, it only seems to be a confirmation bias engine... feeding out what it thinks you want, not what actually is.
try trouble shooting a GDL script in any AI chatbot... GDL is thoroughly documented, so I'd have expected it to be able to trouble shoot simple issues easily... but I spent more time chasing my tail with it than if I had just built it from scratch.
...
as for the structural analytical model, I only know one engineer in archicad, and he doesn't use that feature... since all it does is prep it for analysis, and doesn't actually seem to analyze anything.
