Key New Features in Version 26.0

Steel-to-Concrete Anchoring: Synchronized Workflow

Connection and Detail 3D now work as a unified anchoring design system:

• Cast-in plates fully integrated in Detail 3D—combine welded reinforcement and headed studs on a single plate

• Full anchor steel code-checks (tension, shear, bending) now integrated into 3D Detail postprocessing

• One-way sync from Connection to Detail—update existing Detail projects with latest Connection data instantly

• Multi-surface anchoring support, avoiding overconservative shear checks

• Codes supported: Eurocode (EN 1992-4), AISC/ACI, Australian, Indian
