No more struggles with connection design

Shorten your connection design time by up to 80%, get pass/fail code checks in minutes, and code-check anything you model

• Parametric templates and savable company standards
• Model import from FEA, automatic connections grouping and bulk checks
• Customizable reports with equations and pictures to prove and sell your work 
• Comprehensive AISC checks, including advanced analyses of buckling, stiffness, bearing capacity, and seismic
• Fully customizable reports with equations and pictures that help prove and sell your work 
• Connection Library with 1M+ joints to adapt and reuse
• Cross-app interoperability for anchor design in reinforced concrete

In one workflow, model and analyze any type of base plate, check the reinforcement immediately, and increase anchor breakout resistance. 

• Model and design the base plate 
• Design steel components
• Design anchor bolts
• Export the base plate model to our Detail 3D app
• Model the reinforcement on the concrete block
• Run the analysis and review the results

Overdesign increases material and fabrication costs, often because engineers can’t check every joint. According to the Steel Construction Cost publication by SCI, BCSA and TATA Steel, fabrication and materials account for 60–80% of total cost.

• Avoid oversizing by checking all joints early, not just the critical ones
• Exchange accurate, actionable connection data with your detailers 
• Optimize materials before fabrication to reduce carbon and costs
