Special Part Manager

Based on the user input, the manager assembles different special parts, which can be used subsequently, in specific joints.

Threaded Rod Connections

Create a rod with round or square cross-section between two elements (beams, plates, gratings) or points.

Curved Element Cut

Accurately cut any straight or folded plate, section or tube to fit the profile of a curved tube.

Purlin Connections

Create single or double purlin connections with plates, add folded plate connections for cold-rolled purlins or add additional sections inside the Omega Purlin to form a bolted connection.

Tube to Tube Connection

Create a connection between 2 tubes with holes and weld positions.

Plates on Profile Connection

Create a plate on each face of a section profile

 Intersection Connection

Connect intersecting sections with packer-plates or section profile

Support Plate Connection

Create support stiffeners from a plate

Create Stiffeners

Add stiffeners at any point along a beam, adjust to any beam shape or profile

Asymmetrical Pattern

Creates patterns of bolts/anchors/holes/shear studs, which are non-uniformly spaced

Plate for Multiple Bracings

Creates a polygonal, circular or rectangular gusset plate between two or more bracings.

Curved End Plate

Create a welded or bolted curved plate connection

Compound sections

Create Back to back connections, splice connections for beams/columns, or add multiple stiffeners to a compound beam.

Plate & Grating Stiffeners

Add multiple stiffeners on top or below plates or gratings

Staggered Connection

Create staggered patterns of holes, bolts, anchors or studs.

Cold Rolled: Anti-Sag

Wide range of connections (Side Rail and Roof - Anti Sag, Sag Rod and Tube, Apex Tie Anti Sag and Sag Rod), for main cold rolled suppliers in Europe.

Cold Rolled Joint: Non-Continuous Purlin

Cleat from plate or angle. Stays can be also created

Cold Rolled Joint - Single/Double Purlin

Cleat from folded plate, flat, angle or custom profile. Stays and sleeves can be also created.

Automatic Stair Design & Ergonomics

Automatically determine the rise, going, or a number of treads, all within stairway requirement ranges, and assuring the overall stair’s geometry. The graphical results indicate if the stair is comfortable or not.

Customizable Landings

Choose a landing support structure, by adding ribs or a frame or even extend stringers to boundaries, in order to split the landing plate.

Customizable Treads

There are plenty of tread types to choose from, to complement the stair’s functionality: standard or folded plate treads, with closed or open risers, grating treads with endplates, or even special parts to accommodate treads from different manufacturers.

Straight Stairs – One flight

Straight Stairs – Two flights

Straight Stairs – Three flights

Balanced Stairs – One flight

Balanced Stairs – Two flights

Balanced Stairs – Three flights

Split Railings

Cut rails in accordance with the indicated post or wall bracket, for further welding, mechanically assembling with internal joints (tube to tube connection) or user-defined external sleeves.

Different Ending Types

Set a generous range of extension shapes at the rail’s ends, independently configuring the start and end, having also the possibility to add cover components like cap plates.

Special Parts

Various rail components can be added or customized from a specialized manager, when using bought-ready supplier assemblies: key clamp systems, glass clamps, wall rail brackets, ending caps.

Standard Railings

The module enables defining new railings starting from points, lines, or beams.

Ball Post Railings

Ball Post Railings create a railing system based on industry standards or to bespoke configurations.

Double Post Railings

Double post railings are defined according to the length and height of the area where they will be placed.

Wall-mounted Railings

Wall-mounted railings can be positioned in the left or right part of the reference element.

Key clamp Railings

Key clamp railings are a new alternative to the classic welded rails, which need no welding and no special assembling tools.

Infill panels

The panels can be welded to posts or connected through clamps, available in the existing library, or create user-defined fittings.

Fixing lugs

The fixing lugs connections for panel allow the on-site connection of railing shop sub-assemblies without exploding the macro.
