Data Sole Super Sol Cloud Construction+
Data Sole SuperSol Cloud Construction+ (2027 v2) is a comprehensive Windows 11 Pro 64-bit virtual engineering workstation built to bring civil engineering, structural analysis, BIM, infrastructure design, construction coordination, GIS and Python-based engineering computing together in a single cloud environment. Designed for engineers, structural designers, BIM professionals, construction teams, researchers and engineering students, it provides a ready-to-use software environment intended to cut down on workstation setup time and give teams a centralized platform for demanding engineering workflows, all running on a Windows 11 Pro 64-bit foundation with the Microsoft Visual C++ and .NET runtime components required to support CAD, BIM, analysis and development applications. The workstation includes a full Autodesk engineering and BIM suite: AutoCAD 2027 for 2D drafting, technical documentation and 3D CAD; Civil 3D 2027 for terrain and surface modelling, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading, drainage and infrastructure documentation; Revit 2027 for multidisciplinary building information modelling, structural modelling, documentation and coordinated BIM workflows; Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2027 for structural modelling, finite-element analysis, load analysis and engineering design; Navisworks Manage 2027 for multidisciplinary model aggregation, BIM coordination, project review, simulation and clash detection; InfraWorks 2027 for conceptual infrastructure planning and large-scale contextual modelling of roads, bridges and transportation projects; Advance Steel 2027 for structural-steel modelling, detailing and fabrication documentation; ReCap Pro 2027 for reality-capture and point-cloud work in laser scanning, surveying and existing-condition modelling; 3ds Max 2027 for professional 3D modelling, rendering and visualization; and Autodesk Construction Cloud tools for cloud-based document management, BIM collaboration and construction coordination, subject to the user's own Autodesk services and entitlements. Beyond Autodesk, the machine brings together several major structural engineering ecosystems, including CSI ETABS for integrated analysis and design of buildings and multistorey structures, CSI SAFE for concrete floor systems, slabs and foundations, CSI SAP2000 for general-purpose structural and finite-element analysis across buildings, bridges and industrial structures, Tekla Structures for detailed structural BIM modelling in steel, concrete and reinforcement, Tekla Structural Designer for integrated structural analysis and design, and Bentley STAAD.Pro for structural analysis and design across a wide range of materials and geometries. For geospatial work, QGIS delivers a professional open-source GIS for spatial analysis, mapping and coordinate systems, and pairs naturally with Civil 3D and InfraWorks to move smoothly between GIS data, civil design and visualization. MATLAB is also included as a numerical computing environment for engineering mathematics, modelling, data processing and research, with available toolboxes depending on the user's own MathWorks licence and entitlements. A full Python engineering and scientific-computing stack rounds out the environment, with NumPy, SciPy and SymPy for numerical and symbolic computation, pandas for structured data processing, Matplotlib and Plotly for visualization, JupyterLab for interactive notebooks and reproducible workflows, OpenSeesPy and PyNite for structural and earthquake-engineering simulation, anaStruct for 2D structural analysis, sectionproperties for cross-section analysis, GeoPandas, Shapely and Rasterio for geospatial data and geometry, scikit-learn for machine learning on engineering data, and Visual Studio Code as the development environment for scripting and automation. Together these tools mean that instead of preparing separate workstations for CAD, BIM, structural analysis, GIS and engineering programming, Construction+ delivers civil engineering, structural engineering, BIM, construction engineering, infrastructure design, finite element analysis, steel detailing, concrete design, GIS, survey and point cloud work, engineering visualization, numerical computing, engineering data science and Python automation from within a single Windows cloud workstation. Data Sole SuperSol Cloud Construction+ provides the configured workstation environment and its installed software components, but commercial third-party software may require the customer to provide, activate or sign in with their own valid licence, subscription, educational entitlement or trial account, and availability and use of Autodesk, CSI, Tekla, Bentley, MATLAB and other third-party commercial products remain subject to the respective vendors' own licensing terms; Data Sole does not represent any third-party commercial software licence as included unless this is expressly stated in the applicable product offering.
BASE
Hardened build

Services pass a health gate before every release.
KVM/QEMU
Built for KVM
Every image targets the KVM/QEMU virtualisation standard.
Overview
A cloud-based Windows 11 workstation that combines CAD, BIM, structural analysis, GIS, and Python computing tools into one engineering environment.
Why this image
It represents the all-in-one virtual desktop experience Construction+ delivers, where every engineering discipline works from a single connected platform.
Common uses
- Civil and structural design, BIM coordination, construction project review, GIS mapping, and engineering computation.
System requirements
Data Sole images are built and verified for the KVM/QEMU virtualisation standard. To import and boot an image, your host should meet the following:
- Hypervisor
- KVM/QEMU — the virtualisation standard behind Data Sole Cloud. Images drop straight in.
- CPU
- 64-bit (x86-64) host with hardware virtualisation (Intel VT-x / AMD-V) enabled in the BIOS/UEFI.
- Memory
- 2 GB RAM minimum per guest; 4 GB or more recommended for production workloads.
- Storage
- Free space for the QCOW2 image plus headroom to grow — 20 GB or more recommended.
- Access
- An SSH key pair — password authentication is disabled by default.
- Network
- Bridged or NAT networking so the guest can reach the internet on first boot.
Virtualisation & compatibility
This image is built and tested for KVM/QEMU — the virtualisation standard behind Data Sole Cloud, so it deploys straight onto our cloud. You may be able to convert and run it on other platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon (AWS), Microsoft Azure or VMware, but compatibility isn't guaranteed and isn't covered by toolkits support.
