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.

  • The software has been designed for easy use and illustrative presentation.
  • The dimensioning of the structure is illustrated using colour graphics, showing the resistance of the structure and connection pieces as well as the utilisation rates and whether they are exceeded.
  • The software dimensions the connection according to the latest European standards.
  • The software performs the calculation for the erection stage, final stage and accident situations.
  • The software produces strength calculation materials for building control.
  • The user interface and printing language options are Finnish and English.
  • The downloadable programs work on Windows 10 and 11 systems.
  • Our technical support team is happy to assist you with the detailed use of the programs.

For structural design, Anstar has made Revit blocks, ACAD blocks and Tekla Structures components for its products, enabling the flexible use of Anstar products in the design work.

We have invested in software development to make the design process as seamless as possible for you. The latest downloadable software versions and the web-based A-COLUMN® program can be found in our software portal. Create an account in our system to start your design work!
