What you get

Wind load — checking the anchors against wind pressure and suction on the facade.
Self weight — the vertical load of the stone panels.
Common fixing systems — defining the connection from the solutions used on site.
Browser-based — no installation and no licence.
Design report — a full calculation report to attach to a submission.

Who it suits

Structural engineers, facade consultants and cladding contractors who must show that every stone is properly anchored. A stone cladding failure is a safety issue, so each fixing detail should be backed by a calculation rather than just a standard drawing.
