Four Decades and Millions of Connections Designed Later
Descon is the oldest, most well-known graphical connection engineering software in the industry, helping structural engineers design and calculate steel connections since the 1984. Back then, Descon required a DOS prompt to access it (aka pre-Windows).
Since day one, Descon has been developed and supported by structural engineers to make designing and calculating steel connections to AISC standards more efficient, accurate, and easier to communicate via calculation reports.
Our team continues to push the connection engineering software industry forward from pioneering software-based engineering to developing more complex connection types and creating 2D and 3D models of your connections to building an easy way to manage hundreds of connections across on a construction project.
