ConnectFEA is a state-of-the-art parametric structural connection analysis tool. It features intuitive spreadsheet inputs that drive 3D connection model geometry. Build formulas and functions into your connection templates, similar to any modern spreadsheet environments. ConnectFEA makes use of native XLSX format for projects, meaning you can drive data from any external tool, if you choose. The fully automated volumetric mesher and Multiphysics solver generates quality outputs, and can be plugged into DesignPad, the math scripting environment, for downstream calculations and reporting.
"We are bringing the best technologies and tools to everyone, at a fair price"
ConnectFEA brings cutting-edge FEA capabilities to your desktop. It features intuitive tools to automate any kind of structural connection setup.
ConnectFEA allows for smarter and faster structural connection model development, thanks to it's powerful spreadsheet input workflow. Develop standard connections and save them as templates for even faster reuse in future, or select from the existing library of standard steel connections that ships with ConnectFEA.
Meshing and Multiphysics analysis is automated, and requires almost zero manual input. Smart contact mechanics will take care of connecting elements, while other analytical tools such as welds, loads and supports are easy to define.
ConnectFEA is a full 3D volumetric system - no 2D plate or shell elements are used. This provides improved results, and a more realistic simulation of the real-world physics. These type of analyses would normally require extended time and patience to achieve, yet with ConnectFEA the process is straight forward and streamlined.
The built-in math renderer and processor, DesignPad, further enhances the usability of ConnectFEA - allowing for downstream design tasks and reporting.
ConnectFEA is the only tool in its class that can achieve full 3D parametric Multiphysics models for structural engineering tasks.
Capabilities include:
Use a spreadsheet Input Workbook, with native XLSX file format, to develop parametric connection models
Automatically detect contact elements in your model, including bolts, plates, and profiles
Automated volumetric mesher and solver with detailed outputs that can be plugged into DesignPad
