Automatic calculations
Structural calculations are performed automatically within Statcon using 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Customers select the relevant national application to verify designs and use an inbuilt design guide to simplify data input. The calculation results are displayed on screen in a graphical, quick and easy-to-read, format.
Loads
Loads are specified for each element and support. If wanted, multiple load cases can be easily designed. Statcon helps keep the forces in the joint in balance. If the joint is unbalanced, the user is notified of this.
Connector layout
Statcon positions connectors according to the rules for edge, end, and mutual distance according to the current code. This can be done automatically or manually.
Gussets
Gussets can be shaped automatically or manually drawn. Select between outside or slotted gussets. The steel gussets are analysed with FE, while wooden gussets are validated with standard code checks.
