ABeam, ASteel and AColumn software updates
Anstar has developed dimensioning software for designing the load-bearing frames of buildings. The software applications are used to specify the resistance and utilisation rates of the frame connections with Anstar products. As a result of the development work, we have updated our ABeam, ASteel and AColumn software applications, releasing new versions to better meet today’s needs and challenges.
ABeam 4.9
- Calculation of the beam’s lowest natural frequency has been added
- Calculation of the beam’s coefficient of composite rigidity has been added
ASteel 1.5
- Accident situation calculation for the base plate connection and bolts according to EN 1992-4 has been added
- Calculation of a column in tension with all connections has been added
- Skew bending strength calculation has been improved for asymmetrical structures
- Calculation of a bolt damage situation has been enabled for all connections
- Standard concrete strengths added for grouting materials
- The stress/deformation state of grouting concrete is shown using 2D and 3D graphics
AColumn 4.0
- A moment stiff beam-to-column connection and two different connection types have been added
- New APK-CM beam shoes and new ALP-P2M and ALP-P2SM anchor bolts have been added
- Rebar coupler products have been updated
- Accident situation calculation for bolts and shoes according to EN 1992-4 has been added
- Calculation of a bolt damage situation has been enabled for all connections
- Commercially available grouts have been added to the grouting concrete types
- Calculation of a concrete column in tension with all connection types has been added
- Skew bending strength calculation has been improved for asymmetrical structures
- The stress/deformation state of grouting concrete is shown using 2D and 3D graphics
