C-FIX - fischer fixings

Includes current design standards, e.g. EN 1992-4 and EOTA TR 054 for the dimensioning of steel and bonded anchors in concrete as well as injection systems for anchoring in masonry. The anchor design in concrete can be performed either assuming a rigid base plate following a linear strain distribution or considering realistic stiffness conditions using a spring modeling approach.

Spring model in C-FIX Online

The linear spring model combined with a finite-element approach allows the determination of anchor forces of group fixings. This allows the comparison between anchor forces of linear force distribution and realistic anchor forces.

The calculation is conducted with the well-established finite element software RFEM® by Dlubal® in the background of our servers. The modelling and verifications are performed as usual in C-FIX Online.

Increasing the base plate thickness
Enlarging the connected profile
Applying additional stiffeners
Selecting another anchor system to optimize the force distribution
Changing the spacings.

Your time is valuable!

The FEM calculation add-on module provides you with further information for verifying the sufficiently rigid anchor plate in the software. It is no longer necessary to switch between the C-FIX Online anchor software and FEM statics software for the anchor plate. Dimensioning in just one program saves you double work and a lot of time.
