Dimensioning of bolted and welded
Connections according to EC 3
Designing and optimising structural steel connections has never been so easy. From a structural model of a SOFiSTiK calculation, you can easily select all nodes depending on the type of connection between the steel beams. STeelCON automatically determines the correct bar position in the connection. All data can be displayed graphically and interactively with the programmes SOFiSTiK-Animator or D.A.I.SY. can be selected. They are then presented as detailed graphics or as fully editable text embedded in tables. Powerful tools, such as the permanent updating of the graphics of the structural steel connection and the automatic distance check after each modification of the connection, allow the user to become familiar with the programme immediately. The engineer is informed about the degree of utilisation of each individual component of the structural steel connection and has full control over reducing or increasing the load-bearing capacity of the individual elements. The same connection can be designed for different nodes of the static model and for all load cases, and all associated results can be displayed in detail on the monitor.
