Quikjoint - Steel connection design software - Eurocode
Steel connection design software in accordance with Eurocode (EN 1993-1-8) and the green books (P212, P207, P358 and P398). Rapid design of simple and moment connections in a single software package.
The most comprehensive connections package available. Select a joint type, enter member sizes and loads. That's all you have to do! Quikjoint's connect wizard will produce a connection design to Eurocode 3 or BS5950 based on the fabricator experience stored in its unique knowledge base. Working with an automatically drawn fully dimensioned and annotated drawing, you can click any any item to change it. That's if you don't like the Wizard's design. Links to Quikframe, Quikport and CAD make Quikjoint the No. 1 connections program.
Quikjoint offers wizard-based near-automatic design of a very wide range of structural steel connections with detailed calculations, annotated drawings and 3D visualisation. If the Wizard's design does not suit, simply click on an item in the annotated drawing.
