Efficient Steel Connection Design: From Standard to Complex

Designing steel connections can be one of the most time-intensive stages of structural engineering. Even in well-optimized models, joints often slow down the workflow — requiring detailed input, iterative checks, and full compliance with code.
In this webinar, we’ll show how Advance Design helps you manage this challenge with two complementary approaches.

Learning Objectives

Explain the challenges associated with designing steel connections and their impact on structural engineering workflows and project timelines.
Describe how to use Advance Design’s Connection Module to design standard joints efficiently, including applying built-in templates and verifying compliance with Eurocodes.
Apply methods for exporting complex or non-standard connections to IDEA StatiCa for advanced analysis using FEM models and internal forces.
Evaluate strategies for improving speed and accuracy in steel connection design by integrating automated tools and complementary approaches within the design process.
