Connections when detailing needs them
Connection information remains aligned with the active detailing sequence.
- Reduced waiting between engineering and detailing
- Connection priorities follow model development
- Fewer avoidable detailing delays
Service overview
Connection engineering developed around the actual model
Anatomic Iron provides connection design for the projects we detail, including calculation packages for standard and special connections.
Connection work is coordinated with the Tekla model to review load transfer, fit-up, fabrication practicality and erection access. Client fabrication standards and the preferred balance between bolted and welded connections are discussed at the outset of the project.
Core advantages
Where this service creates project value

A direct path from criteria to coordinated connection
A controlled sequence keeps technical information aligned with project priorities.
-
01
Confirm requirements
Review loads, standards and connection preferences.
-
02
Develop the concept
Select a practical standard or special connection arrangement.
-
03
Complete calculations
Verify the connection and prepare the calculation package.
-
04
Coordinate in the model
