Main focus:
Design anchor systems according to requirements, make it an internal web-portal
The company’s engineers were often visiting the site and required an on-the-go solution for their calculations. Even with a laptop, the results had to be exported and sent via email.
The software provided by others was tied to their products and was designed with specific thoughts in mind. AnchorTeam had their unique technology that did not fit that software.
Unique solutions for the foundation did not have any 3D visualization, only top and side view. Sometimes a perfectly designed system led to problems in the complete detailed model.
Reporting was fixed to an outdated pre-defined format, that was bloated with the unnecessary data. Generating custom reports took time and required manual efforts
We agreed that a mobile application is not practical and stuck to laptop and tablet based application using modern development stack
Instant updates with every change in configuration synchronized for all parties, including detailing engineers
Application design settings allow updating default information both from Eurocode norms and company’s practices.
Detailed specifications, initial data, site information and user comments - all in one automatically generated PDF and CSV documents.
Users select base material, fixture geometry, and load directions
Enter load combinations (tension, shear, moments)
Tool suggests compliant anchor configurations and layout options
Visual layout updates live with edge distances and breakout zones
Users approve selected anchor type and quantity
System verifies code compliance and generates reports
Data is saved and synced with project records via internal database
reduction of errors on detailing stage
per site trip saved for real work
designs in first quarter after the release
Results designs in first quarter after the release
Engineers trust the tool for its speed, accuracy, and code compliance.
Reduced time waste on repeated site trips by over 60%.
Tracking of all revisions of the quote to easily compare options while on call
Consistent, standardized documentation for all cases.
Ability to work both with industry-standard and custom designs.
Internal engineering team now can do more design tasks.
