For AISC 360: Integrated with S3D, Easy Modelling, Clear Results
Structural steel connection design software for engineers. SCS - Steel Connection Studio is a great engineering tool to effectively design connections the way you want (= flexibility) and quickly check your design. Try different options and help your customers in reaching economic production of steel structures maximizing safety and code compliance. This web site provides structural design software which created using Microsoft Windows Excel 2010/2013 or 2016 Office 365. Each spreadsheet contains formulas, reference code sections, and graphic drawings.
Design Connections with AISC 360
SkyCiv Connection Design software offers prescriptive design calculations and checks as per the AISC 360-10 design code, for both ASD and LRFD. The software is completely cloud-based, so there's nothing to download or install, and is run right from within your browser. The SkyCiv steel connection design software has the following great features:
- Range of connection types, including W-W and HSS-W standard connections
- Full 3D rendering to show bolts, plates and sections
- Prescriptive AISC 360 checks for Shear and Moment Calculations
- Professional Drawings
- Export file as CAD (STEP) 3D model
- Clear summary of design results with green and red pass/fail results
- Detailed documentation with videos and tutorials on how to use the software.
Full Calculation Reporting
SkyCiv Connection Design reports in the form of a summary report and a comprehensive calculations report. No more guesswork into what the software is calculating, these detailed professional reports show the step by step calculations including:
- References to relevant chapters and checks (for AISC 360)
- Custom Company logo and model setup information
- Detailed calculations of all checks
- Relevant assumptions and failure criteria
- Clear pass/fail summary results
- Download Sample Shear Connection Design Calculation Report
Powerful Graphics
Review your 3D model so you can see the various parts of the model in 3D space. The Connection Design module will also generate a full CAD file for you to export or send off to the draftsperson for final drawings. Don't have CAD? You can produce drawings directly from within the SkyCiv Connection Design module!
- Generate full CAD files (STEP) with bolt, plate and member connection assemblies
- Produce clear drawings directly from the module
- Clear and easy 2D references for user input
- Full 3D rendering display with wireframe and viewing settings
Integrated with SkyCiv Structural 3D
All your connections forces and member properties are automatically imported into the SkyCiv Connection module - so you can view your model and connections at the same time.
- Connections display on the graphical interface
- Forces automatically imported from structural analysis model
- Supports load combinations from ASCE 7-10, AS 1170, EN1 and CSA
- Changes to your analysis model are auto-adjusted within the design module
- Class and group steel connections together, to complete one design for multiple connections
- Review all Connection Designs in 3D model with green/red/yellow result summaries
