STEEL CONNECTIONS MODELLING

STEEL CONNECTIONS MODELLING

STEEL CONNECTIONS MODELLING

(OP)
Hi everybody!

I want to model many steel connections in Femap, but every connection needs a lot of time to design it (Bolts, endplates, holes etc). Does anyone knows, if there is a design program, that you can model easy any connection you want, and then export it as a 3D Solid model, so that you can import it to Femap and just define the connectors and the mesh??? All the programs I know for steel connections (ECPraxis, Steel connections for Sofistik etc) they only export plan views but not 3D Solid models.

Thanks!
