Program Description

PowerConnect is the perfect software to design quick and easy different types of steel connections. Easy and fast definition of connections from an extensive library of typical connection designs. Quick graphical editing of connection with a simple mouse click, directly on the 3D representation.

Optimization of bolt positions according to EN 1993-1-8, IS 800 and AISC-LRFD. Fast identification of undersized and oversized components through colour coding on connection geometry of each component’s level of exhaustion.

Creation of drawings including annotation. Export capability to DXF, allowing for further elaboration in CAD environment. Automated creation of design analysis report with preview capability. Report can be saved as RTF file.
