MITCalc - Welded connections

The calculation is intended for the geometrical design and strength control of statically loaded welded connections. Application supports Imperial and Metric units, is based on ANSI, ISO, DIN standards and support many 2D and 3D CAD systems.

Pros: This package provides means of designing and checking of welded connections. Geometrical design and strength control of static load bearing welded connections done on machine structures made from carbon steel. You can handle something like 50 common welded joints stressed with combinations of load. These include butt joints, plug and slot welds, fillet welds, connections with spot(resistance) welds. Design table for 700 on carbon steel alloys suitable for welding are available according to material standards as per ANSI, EN, JIS, ISO, DIN, BS, NF, UNI, UNE, SIS, CSA, NBN, NP, NS, ON and CSN. Strength control calculations for these designed connections are made possible. Dimensions of standard sections as per standards are available. The section table are available for sections S, ST, W, WT, C, L as per sections ASTM/AISI/AISC standards. Similarly T, I, U, L sections per standards DIN/EN/ISO are available.

Algorithms and calculations are based on standards and standard design literature. These standards include AWS, AISC, ANSI, EN, ISO, DIN, prEN 1993-1-8, EN 10024, EN 10034, EN 10055, EN 10056, EN 10279, DS 952, DIN 15018, DIN 18800, DIN 1024, DIN 1025, DIN 1026, DIN 1028, DIN 1029, CSN 050120. The calculations are compatible with CAD packages like Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Pro/E etc. The application comes with an easy to use interface and includes comprehensive on-line help and even “expert notes”.

Cons: This one is for experts of course. You have to be a design engineer to use it effectively. It does make his job easier.

Overall this one is 4 star material easily.

The calculation is intended for the geometrical design and strength control of statically loaded welded connections of machine structures manufactured from carbon steels. The program enables you to design over 50 of the most common types of welded connections stressed by various combinations of load. The calculation deals with the following tasks:
- Design of connections with butt welds.
- Design of connections with fillet welds.
- Design of connections with plug and slot welds.
- Design of connections with spot (resistance) welds.
- Strength control of designed connections.
- The program includes a table with approx. 700 carbon steels suitable for welding according to the material standards ANSI, EN, JIS, ISO, DIN, BS, NF, UNI, UNE, SIS, CSA, NBN, NP, NS, ON and CSN.
- The program also includes a dimensional table of steel sections S, ST, W, WT, C, L according to ASTM/AISI/AISC and T, I, U, L sections according to DIN/EN/ISO.
- The calculation is based on data, procedures and algorithms from specialized literature and standards AWS, AISC, ANSI, EN, ISO, DIN and others.
- List of standards: prEN 1993-1-8, EN 10024, EN 10034, EN 10055, EN 10056, EN 10279, DS 952, DIN 15018, DIN 18800, DIN 1024, DIN 1025, DIN 1026, DIN 1028, DIN 1029, CSN 050120
