staxisModel the frame
Place beams, columns and braces using steel profiles. Work with grids, snapping and member properties.
From the first column.
To the connection detail.
Staxis is a focused modelling workspace for small steelwork firms. Work with sections, connections and drawing views in the context of the whole model.

Inspect the connection
Work with baseplates, end plates, fin plates, bolts and welds in three dimensions.
Develop the drawing
Create general arrangement and assembly drawing views with dimensions, marks and schedules for review.
Project files stay in a location you choose. Simultaneous multi-user editing is not included. Final macOS and hardware requirements will be published with the App Store listing; an iPad product is not included in the Mac launch offer.
Models, connections, dimensions and outputs require checking by a suitably qualified person before fabrication, erection or construction. Staxis does not replace engineering design or approval.
Choosing steel modelling software for a small fabrication business
Evaluate section-aware modelling, connections, drawing outputs and file ownership against the way your workshop works.
