Code-check any connection and anchoring you model
- Design and check in 3D to see real behaviour of steel connection and anchoring
- Solve any geometry and topology required by architect's model – hidden connections, irregular plates, pinned joints and unorthodox angles
- Confidently code-check with no overdesign. Keep the model subtle and elegant even when designing for loads of 1000s of KNs
- Get verification according to Eurocode (EN 1992-1-1, EN 1992-4, EN 1993-1-8) for anchors, steel components, concrete
- Provide correct interpretation of forces to detailers, welders, and other teams to avoid errors affecting the membranes

Real example: Base connection for a tension membrane structure in Dubai
In this project in Dubai, the main challenge for the designer – an Australian consulting company, Wade Design Engineers – was to check a very complex steel joint for a large tension membrane structure.
