Tomorrow, 10 October, we will be at the Nationale Staalbouwdag (National Steel Construction Day) and will launch XConstruct - the toolbox for the structural engineer -
XConstruct is now available to you as well.
With XConstruct the most common calculations can be made quickly.
The powerful and modern 'user interface' ensures fast input. For example, dimensions can easily be changed by clicking on the dimension lines. The calculation is started after every change. You see the result of the calculation on the right-hand side.
Calculation modules
In this first release of XConstruct you can choose from the following calculations:
- Steel: Moment connection (bolted and welded); Steel column; Weld calculation; Bolt calculation
- Concrete: Reinforced concrete cross-section loaded in bending, normal force, shear force and torsion; Punching shear calculation; Creep factor
XConstruct has a generic design, which allows us to add new modules easily. This is a first start. We will rapidly expand the number of modules in the coming months. Do you have suggestions or wishes? Let us know! With your help we can extend XConstruct with that new functionality.
