Steel Joint

The FEM-Design Steel Joint Module helps you model and set up real connection conditions among steel bar components, or between steel columns and foundations.

Verified connection types, together with plates, bolts, welds, eccentricity settings, can be used in the global or detailed design and check of steel components, in complex 3D projects.

Steel Joint Features

  • Design of bolted and welded steel joints according to EN 1993-1-8

  • Calculation methods provided by the Swedish Institute of Steel Construction

  • Wide range of joint types: column splice, beam splice, column base, beam-beam, column-beam, knee and bracing

  • Capacity calculations are performed to joints such as the failure modes of bolts and anchors with the base plate, as well as the welds and trough thickness properties of plates

  • Stiffness classification can be performed according to EN 1993-1-8, or stiffness can be updated back to the entire 3D project to provide a more realistic calculation model
