EK4 STEELWORKS.
These include bolts, ribs, plates and other components of
mutual interest, including complex substructures used in the
same project or in different works.
Two-dimensional Drawings and construction details are also
managed and automatically linked to the model.

EK4 STEELWORKS features a Standard joint library, dimensions will also change in compliance with the design
including various typical joints. All joints have been verified on code specifications. Moreover, when modifying the profile
the basis of the applicable design code. Standard joints are slope, the joint will automatically adapt to follow the new
smart and flexible, that is to say that, when modifying direction.
associated profiles, joint The user can change any joint parameter at any time, thus
making it a custom joint which can be stored in the custom
joint library. The same can be done with a user joint.
A user joint is an assembly of correlated SolidWorks.
Once a user joint has been created, it can be stored in the
custom joint library.
The pictures display a clear example of how, when changing
the slope between the structural members,
each part of the joint automatically adapts to the new
geometry of the structure.

Interoperability
The interoperability pack allows smooth interaction between
EK4 STEELWORKS and any generic FEA software.
Processing the created structural model becomes very easy
thanks to the possibility to export data in SDNF (steel detailing
neutral file) and CIS/2 (CIMsteel Integration Standards)
formats.
Detailing
Marking and drawing management is performed according
to the requirements of the steel construction industry, there-
fore, without exiting the SolidWorks environment, single and
composite marks, workshop drawings, single and composite
marks drawings can be obtained. As it usually happens in
metallic carpentry, workshop drawings are out of scale.
