ProtaSteel is the all-in-one steel detailing and steel connection design software solution for engineers, fabricators and drafting professionals to perform automated steel connection design and produce high quality steel detail drawings.
With ProtaSteel, an extensive library of connections is at your disposal for your structural steel projects. ProtaSteel extends this library further by introducing new connection macros such as Angle Cleat Connection, Bolted End Plate Splice Connection, Base Plate for Hollow Sections, Haunch Connection for Continuous Beams.
ProtaSteel supports connection design with comprehensive check reports to EC3, AISC (LRFD and ASD) and BS5950 with full code clause referencing including; bracing and truss connections, splice connections, and more.
In addition to connection macros, ProtaSteel offers a vast range of macros that will boost your productivity during modeling. Notch, Cut, Fit, Adjust, Weld, Bolt, Stiffeners, Batten Plates, Web Openings with Stiffeners, Automated Stair Treads, Chequered Plate, Gratings, Castellated Beams, Wind Column Connections, Beam to Beam Fixed Connections are among the powerful tools.
Revolutionary IntelliConnect® for fully automated steel connection design with a single click. IntelliConnect automatically assesses joints to your preferences, then batch creates and designs all your steel connections.
Discover IntelliConnect® for speed, accuracy, and efficiency in your steel structures!
Easily create your own user-defined connections using general detailing tools such as plates, bolts, welds, cuts, fillet and chamfers. Save these connections as a macro in the library to reuse them at similar joints, adding flexibility and efficiency to your designs.
Open ProtaStructure models directly in ProtaSteel to start your detailing process. Easily navigate the entire model in 3D or work with model components of your choice.
Choose and automatically design to your chosen code a broad range of bolted and welded connections.
Adjust elements, add ancillary steel work and create unique connections using intuitive commands to suit your project requirements.
ProtaSteel will perform automated clash checks, model audit, part & assembly numbering seamlessly and flexibly.
You can then create your general arrangement and part & assembly drawings using the central 3D model, including elevations, plans, sections and connections. You can use flexible annotations and title blocks to suit your drawing preferences.
Save hundreds of hours by automatically producing shop details and producing CNC data for all steelwork fabrication.
Plot directly from ProtaSteel or publish DWG drawing output directly to ProtaDetails or your preferred CAD system including AutoCAD, Microstation and Bricscad. Seamlessly communicate the entire model with other leading BIM systems including Revit and Tekla Structures.
ProtaStructure is equipped to accommodate a wide variety of International Design Codes, such as those from the US and Europe, as well as localized standards tailored to meet the specific design and detailing preferences of users worldwide. For a comprehensive overview of the codes and standards supported by ProtaStructure, please refer to the detailed documentation provided.
