Hinged or rigid? You deserve better.
Steel Joints goes beyond black-and-white assumptions. Our solution considers Semi-Rigid Hinges with Initial Stiffness Analysis - helping you create more realistic, safe, and cost-efficient designs.
The semi-rigid hinges feature works by integrating hinges into the global model before internal force calculations, based on an initial stiffness analysis. The process begins with the Steel Joints add-on automatically generating these semi-rigid connections, reflecting the real stiffness conditions of the joints. This feature removes the need for manual, time-consuming stiffness input and instead allows users to focus on the overall design of their structures, knowing that the connection behavior is accurately captured.
Because real engineering requires real behavior.
