Bolted and welded steel connections design according to EC3

STeelCON analyses and designs welded and bolted connections in
steel frames according to Eurocode 3. The supported connection
types are multi-parametric, allowing the user to achieve the
optimum design. For the more complex connections, the program
has automatic optimization features. STeelCON can automatically
optimize the connection either for maximum strength or optimal
design. A tree of connections variations that meet the users
requirements is generated. The user specifies the components
that the program is allowed to use, such as stiffeners, bolt
types, bolt qualities etc.

STeelCON can also be operated within the SOFiSTiK structural
analysis system for the dimensioning of the connections between
members in steel building frames according to EC3. The user can
select the nodes (or groups of nodes) to be designed by a
graphical interface. STeelCON will automatically identify the
participating members and forces and assign them to the
connection. Analysis data of a Steel frame from other programs
can also be imported through an ASCII file.
