Quick answers from fixing selector

Lindapter has launched a second generation of its on-line steelwork fixings design software, adding more beam sizes and improving the user interface.

Known as Steelwork Fixings Designer, Lindapter’s software uses images and pop-out menus to take users rapidly through the selection process. Three steps are needed, selection of type of steel, type of connection and finally the beam sizes.

The tool is now able to present the correct fixings for most common applications within a couple of minutes.

Lindapter’s fixing solution, which requires no welding or on-site drilling, is displayed in the form of a 2D drawing, with the source data and fixing materials detailed alongside.

The drawing is automatically emailed to the user and kept on file at Lindapter to help with any queries which may arise. The system will also generate a quote by clicking on a button above the drawing.
