Statcon Post & Beams supports design of rafters, beams, floor joists, lintels, posts, columns and any other straight elements. Software highligts include:

Ability to design with mulitple materials and cross sections
Statcon Post & Beams supports design of wood, glulam, LVL, l-beam and steel profiles according to the specified code. Currently Statcon handles IPE, HEA, HEB, HEM, UNP, UPE, KKR, VKR, circular pipes and rods. Supported I-beams are Masonite, Ranti and Hunton.

Supports special elements
The software also supports some special elements such as tapered beams (mono and double) and gerber brackets.

Easy load input
Enter the building site, building type and dimensions and Statcon will automatically find snow and wind loads for the current site. Load combinations, for the current national annex, are created dynamically based on the specified loads. Extra point and line loads can be added. Statcon also offers dynamic load transfer between elements in a project.

Vibration check
Statcon performs a vibration check on wood-based floor joists.

Hangers and Gerber brackets
Elements can be connected with hangers and spliced with Gerber brackets or a custom nailing plate or a wooden gusset. Design check is done according to the supplier ETA.

Contact plate
In case of too high contact pressure perpendicular to grain the beam can be reinforced with a contact plate. The plate is designed and will spread the contact force on a larger surface, and this will reduce the strain on both support and element.

Notches and holes
Possibility to add notch at support and holes. Holes can be reinforced with plywood or self-drilling screws.

Support and training
Support is included in the maintenance agreement so that our customers can get quick help with their issues. We also offer training courses, so users can get as much as possible out of the software. Both training and support provide valuable insight into how our customers use or would like to use the software, this data is used to continuously improve Statcon.

Statcon Connections is a tool to design wood and steel gusset connections. Gussets connect the elements in a joint using nails, screws, bolts, or dowels. The elements, connectors and gussets are checked according to code. Software highlights include:

Joints
Joints are easy to create and edit with the effective guides and editing tools.

Loads
Loads are specified for each element and support. If wanted, multiple load cases can be easily designed. Statcon helps keep the forces in the joint in balance. If the joint is unbalanced, the user is noted of this.

Connector layout
Statcon positions connectors according to the rules for edge, end, and mutual distance according to the current code. This can be done automatically or manually.

Gussets
Gussets can be shaped automatically or manually drawn. Select between outside or slotted gussets. The steel gussets are analysed with FE, while wooden gussets are validated with standard code checks.

Export
Joints can be exported to CAD software via DXF.
