As we know almost all fields have some set standards, like for boiler or pressure vessel design - ASME, similarly for Steel Structures, would be set by American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), Canadian Institution of Steel Construction - Code of Standard Practice (cisc-icca) or ASTM A992 A992M - 11 Now SolidWorks has Weldments module, but I believe nothing for bolted connections. Limcon Steel Connection Design Software Works Software Like LimconPeople in such industries are using some software like Limcon 3.6, many do hand calculations. And finally they have to match with code (standards) and believe the design is done. So is there any solution for it in SolidWorks or with its partner products and if not, then it should be incorporated, as it is a huge market accross the globe. Yup may be after providing solution to this, some one might come up with request to incorporate concrete for design analysis, but Structural engineering is a field between Mechanical Civil in great demand globally. I look forward for comments suggestions Regards Poorvesh Mistry No one else has this question Mark as assumed answered Outcomes Visibility: Simulation 3852 Views Last modified on Oct 8, 2013 1:37 PM Tags: structural Content tagged with structural bolted Content tagged with bolted connections Content tagged with connections This content has been marked as final.

For welded structures, SolidWorks has module Weldments for CAD can be simulated in SolidWorks 2) Many Steel structures are having bolted connections, SolidWorks has partner product as Builtwork 3) The structural engineering people prefer to use Bentley or Tekla BIMsight for CAD 4) Bolted connections increases number of components, solids surfaces involved into analysis in SolidWorks, so the time required to solve the whole structure will be hugh, so the best for structural engineer is to analyse the structure of the bottom most structure as it will carry the whole structure load. Limcon Steel Connection Design Software Works Free To ProvidePlease feel free to provide me your inputs, comments suggestions Like Show 0 Likes 0 Actions Jared Conway Poorvesh Mistry on Oct 9, 2013 4:00 PM Mark Correct Correct Answer so the way that i would handle this is with submodeling in 2013. You can refer to following links for more details (I have downloaded those mentioned below, but unfortunately I cannot share those files here) or hope that helps, I had worked for Geometric Ltd. DPLM ( SolidWorks partner for CAMWORKS other customized SolidWorks, CATIA other CAD add-ons plug-ins.) as a QA (software test engineer) for 2 years Just for your reference, my profile is on Linkedin Like Show 1 Like 1 Actions Related Content Retrieving data.
