What's new in EasyFix - 4.7.1

Jul 22, 2022

In July 2022, we released another update of the Easyfix 4 software. Meeting the needs signaled by our customers and employees, we expanded the ROOF SANDWICH PANEL module, the REBAR module and the WIND CALCULATIONS module.

Module: Roof sandwich panel

Based on the guidelines contained in Eurocode 1, part 1-4: Effects of wind on structures and EAD 330046-01-0602: Fastening screws for metal members and sheathing, we have created a new module dedicated to sandwich panel fastenings on roofs. We use products from the group of self-drilling screws: R-OCR-55/63, R-ONR-55/63, OC-55/63 and ON-55/63. The module enables the calculation of fastenings for buildings with flat, single-pitch or gable roofs with an inclination of up to 45°.

Module: Rebar

In the latest version of the program module Post-installed rebar - Rebar has been improved with further construction applications.

  • Connection of beam with existing column (lap splice)
  • Connection of column with existing beam (lap splice)
  • Connection of round column with existing foundation (lap splice)
  • Connection of beam with side-on part of existing wall

Category: Wind calculations

In the Roof insulation and Roof steel sheet modules we have made available to all users the possibility of introducing structural slopes. Thanks to this option, customers will have even wider possibilities in modelling flat roofs.

The changes described above are not all that has been improved. Our work on the development of the program does not stand still. We are constantly updating the functionalities of the modules to expand the possibilities of users of our EasyFix application.

We invite you to visit our EasyFix blog, where we provide the latest information about the program on an ongoing basis.

We consistently remind you that EasyFix is free and downloadable from webpage www.easyfix.rawlplug.com.
