Some features of SCS - Steel Connection Studio
|
HOMEPAGE
|
|
- AUTOMATICALLY design connections from Sap2000/Etabas/Staad by importing geometry, loads and let the software do the job for bolts, welds, plates, types of joints....
- change data by clicking dimensions in the sketch
- rearrange the position of the dimensions in the sketch
- use stiffeners to decrease thickness of connected elements, just as some fabricators ask you to do
- change units in one click
|
|
- see your joint updating 'live' even in the initial phases when all data aren't input yet
- input different material properties for each different steel part (members, plates) of the connection
- have your software shape the geometry you want, you don't have to adapt to what software does
(wide range of options to edit geometry)
- define multiple load case combinations
- input full range of loads (axial, shear on both axes, bending on both axes, even torsion!) for most connections
- nicely check 'sum up' of results, where all checks are quickly reported with maximum design ratio (governing case)
- check results in details for each limit state
|
|
- choose if you want to apply 13th, 14th or 15th edition of AISC code
- set up options like colors of drawings
- see the governing limit state change 'live' as you modify geometry/loads/members
- have material resistance change according to thickness as required by standards
- design welds
- export scaled sketch to dxf or Tekla
- just print sketch and add your notes for detailers
- change method of calculating joints
- see formulas used in calculations and see them in equation style formatting
|
|
- write loads in the 'load table' as formulas that the software can remember
- include formulas in the report
- create your own check modifying the report (save in .rtf and edit it in Microsoft Word or similar)
- impress your customers with professional reports
|
|
- design splices where bolts on flanges have different size and geometry from web bolts
- design splices only connected on web
- design splices only connected on flanges
- design bolts by friction
- choose base plate method to resist shear (friction, anchor bolts, shear lug, combinations among them)
- write down your notes in the dedicated window
- follow suggestions in the comment area to effectively design joints
- automatically see if there are interferences to anticipate problems in fabrication
- filter off any material, bolt class or bolt size that you don't use often
- add your own profiles
- give files with custom member properties to your peers and have custom properties directly imported
into the 'new' computer
- add web plate to members to satisfy check requirements like column web panel, block shear, bearing,
strength of notched beams, etc
- notch beams or use haunches (top and/or bottom)
- create advanced bolt geometries in apex
connections or end plates to optimize design
- calculate continuity plates, backing plates, diagonal stiffeners, Morris stiffeners and much more in
moment connections
- print t-stub details of moment connections
- calculate rigidity of connections
- design braces according to your preferred method (UFM, Kiss, UFM variants...)
- check very special geometries of bolts or welds in the 'general check' module
- satisfy your international customers offering a wide range of codes you can check connections according to
- gain insights of various global codes making comparisons between different codes
- get really quick in design joints; the way you want them to be, not the way the software can (only) do it
- save a lot of money picking up a speed in connection design
- win business making customers happy with reliable and economic design
- overwrite default values of eccentricities (bolts, plates, welds) if you want different values
- choose if you prefer to calculate bolt reactions using instanteneous center of rotation method or elastic method
- choose hole size of bolts
- open many joints (files), also of the same kind, simultaneously
- and much more! download your trial now and check it out yourself
