Printout Report | Steel Joints
In the Steel Joints add-on, you can classify the joint stiffness.
In addition to the initial stiffness, the table also shows the limit values for hinged and rigid connections for the selected internal forces N, My, and/or Mz. The resulting classification is then displayed in tables as "hinged", "semi-rigid", or "rigid".
Go to Explanatory VideoIn the Steel Joints add-on, you have this option to consider the preloaded bolts in the calculation of all components.
You can easily activate the prestress using the check box in the bolt parameters, and it has an impact on the stress-strain analysis as well as the stiffness analysis.
Go to Explanatory VideoIn the Steel Joint add-on, you can design the connections of members with composite cross-sections. Furthermore, you can perform joint design checks for almost all thin-walled cross-sections in the RFEM library.
Go to Explanatory VideoIf a weld seam connects two plates with different materials, it is possible to select from a combo box in the Steel Joints add-on which one of both materials should be used for the weld seam.
