Qnect Top Features

QuickQnect, P+Op and B+Op help make smarter steel connections, improving your estimating, your material order, and more.

QuickQnect

Connect your model within minutes – and often seconds – to meet AISC requirements.

Preference Optimization (P+Op)

Run your job 10 or more times to compare the cost of different bolt sizes and different connection types.

Bolt Optimization (B+Op)

Use your priority bolt sizes to make the most efficient connections allowable by AISC engineering requirements.

Qnect Users

QuickQnect, P+Op and B+Op help make smarter steel connections, improving your estimating, your material order, and more.

Fabricator

Run a tight shop by avoiding costly revisions and rework. Save per ton with Preference Optimization, Bolt Optimization, and Doubler Optimization.

Detailer

Complete more projects in less time. You create the 3D model, we’ll complete it using defined preferences, or just send the section you want connected to your customers. Qnect Buttons 1 and 2 will do the rest. Optimization allows multiple, extremely quick runs. Also works with mandated connections.

General Contractor

Deliver a model to each bidder, ensuring they provide realistic proposals.

Estimator

Deliver a more accurate and competitive proposal with early, accurate data. Your modeling software + Qnect’s capabilities will provide faster estimates, more accuracy, and insight into optimization opportunities. Benefits: Reduced costs, reduced work hours, smoother projects.

Engineer

Qnect provides a digital infrastructure to deliver fully connected 3D models, extending development time, reducing approval time, and increasing both profits and control of engineering. Win more bids, deliver value engineering management, and increase capacity – while pleasing customers.
