Qnect

Benefits of the solution

• Discover modeling, constructability, and engineering issues for why the steel frame cannot be connected
• Detect and document joints requiring special reinforcement such as doublers and stiffeners
• Spend less time resolving construction issues and more time designing amazing structures

Solution Details

Structural engineers discover framing issues related to modeling, constructability, and engineering for why steel cannot be connected. This includes detecting and documenting joints requiring special reinforcement such as doublers and stiffeners. Users can visualize connections in 3D and optimize for cost and embodied arbon.

Sustainability Outcomes

Qnect optimizes steel material use to reduce time, cost and embodied carbon. By simplifying complex connections and reducing waste from RFIs and extras, engineers can save at least 10% of the structural steel embodied carbon. Qnect's strategy is to extend this capability to optimize steel connections and framing by providing cost-carbon analytics in Revit.
