The SCIA HSS Design Tools Pack, is a new software for the design of hollow structural sections (HSS) members and connections. Developed in conjunction with the Steel Tube Institute, the SCIAHSS Design Tools Pack is a powerful suite of engineering checks to aid engineers in the design of HSS beams and columns, as well as their connections.
To execute this tool, the module sen.07 is needed to be able to run SCIA Design Forms User.
To run SCIA Design Forms User, execute DesignForms_User.exe in the installation folder of SCIA Engineer (e.g. C:\Program Files\SCIA\Engineer22.0). Then choose "Load Form" and select the desired *.clc file that can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
Unlike other engineering software that may be a “black-box,” the SCIAHSS Design Tools Pack output shows the formulas and methods used in the calculation, so results are completely verifiable.
HSS Calculations Reports can be shown as a brief summary of the results or as a detailed output, which includes all the formulas that were used to derive the calculation.
The SCIA HSS Design Tools Pack, includes checks for:
- HSS Column Shear Tab Connection
- HSS Column Moment Connections
- Through Plate
- Continuous Beam with Cap Plate
- Directly Welded
- HSS Simply Supported Beam
- HSS Column, including Filled Composite Column
- HSS Column Base Plate
