GEMSai Cloud — Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Common questions about running foundation analysis in a web browser — how the cloud version compares with the Windows and macOS desktop software, where your project data is held, which browsers are supported, and how files move between your machine and the cloud.

Can geotechnical foundation analysis run entirely in a web browser?

Yes. GEMSai Cloud runs the foundation analysis suite, including finite element foundation analysis, entirely in a standard web browser with no installation and no local solver required. As no software is installed, IT approval or administrator rights are typically not required — often the slowest step in adopting engineering software at a larger firm. Models are built, run and reviewed in the browser, with the analysis executed on secure remote servers.

Are GEMSai Cloud results identical to the desktop version?

Yes. GEMSai Cloud and the Windows and macOS desktop versions run the same underlying software and produce identical results for the same input. The choice between them is about delivery and convenience, not accuracy or capability.

Where is my project data stored and who can access it?

GEMSai Cloud is hosted on Google servers in the United States. Access to project data is controlled through user accounts, with GEMS cloud administrators able to access data when required for support and maintenance. Project data is retained for one year after the subscription or trial period ends, and backups are retained for the same period. Organisations subject to client confidentiality or data-residency requirements should consider the US hosting location and retention period when evaluating GEMSai Cloud.

Which browsers and operating systems does GEMSai Cloud support?

GEMSai Cloud runs in recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge. Since the software runs in the browser, the operating system is irrelevant — Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS all work when a supported browser is available. This permits engineers to run a full finite element foundation analysis without a Windows-only machine.

Can I move files, data and results between my local system and GEMSai Cloud?

Yes. GEMSai Cloud supports file transfer between your local system and the cloud, including drag-and-drop and copy-and-paste of supported data. Analysis results can be exported as XLSX, DOCX and PDF files. GEMSai Cloud uses the same project file format as the Windows and macOS desktop versions, allowing projects to be transferred between the browser and desktop versions.
