AutoSD Steel Detailing

The Calculator Programs has several different modules for calculating the most common steel detailing and checking problems. The modules are sold together as one program.

Key Benefits

• Create bolt lists and bolt summaries.
• Calculate the camber of a beam or truss.
• Add, subtract, multiply & divide using the "FT.IISS" or decimal formats. View charts on bolt values, edge distances and weld sizes, pipe dimensions, and dimensions for AISC shapes.
• Solve right and oblique triangles.
• Solve circles and arcs.
• Design gusset plates.
• Design connections in tension and shear.
• Design beam connections using clips, shear end plates, seats, or wing plates.
• Calculate end reaction, tension, compression, moment, and web crippling.

The math calculator can be used in the FT.IISS, DECIMAL or METRIC mode. FT.IISS mode allows you to input in feet, inches and sixteenths where FT = feet, II = inches, and SS = sixteenths. Thus 25'-3 3/4'' = 25.0312. DECIMAL mode allows you to input in decimals. METRIC mode allows you to input in millimeters. When in one mode the answer is displayed for the other two modes. There are two memory registers and three stack registers.

Valid operations in the math calculator are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponent, square root, change sign, store, recall, 1/X, swap X and Y and trig functions.

The math calculator uses reverse polish notation. To add 2 + 2 + 5 use these key strokes: 2 enter 2 + 5 +.
