HSSJoints

Hollow structural section joints

Design of circular, square and rectangular hollow section joints.

Supports a large number of Design Codes of different countries (Eurocode, AISC, etc.), Catalogues with thousands of profiles from worldwide profile manufacturers with their corresponding steels and type of fabrication.

Generates detailed construction drawings and reports for a professional structural design project.

Reports

A very concise and professional report can be created, by including:

• Design Code

• Joint´s detail

• Member´s data: profiles and steels

• Member´s internal forces

Checks

• Validity ranges of geometric parameters

• Resistance checks

Drawings

• Details of desired/all joints

• Settings of layers, text styles, scales, papers and margins.

• Printer or plotter output devices and exportation to DXF™ format.
