But in order to
offer even more
value for our
customers and
especially for
the structural
designers, we
are investing
heavily in
software
development
and services.
THE NEXT MILESTONES
• We will continue to integrate DELTABEAM® Design Service
into other FEA packages for structural analysis.
• Two new software applications – Application for the Design
of Floor Joints in compliance with TR 34:4 and Application
for the Design of Balconies with EBEA® Balcony Connectors
– will be released in the early summer 2021.
“One aspect of integration is that
unnecessary and repetitive tasks are
minimized. Thanks to this, less time is
used for unproductive tasks such as
filling in the design parameters again and
again when you switch between design
software and applications,” Stirane states.
With software integration, engineers
can concentrate on doing something that
really matters and create value for their
customers.
“A perfect example of integration is
the project with A-Insinöörit, a Finnish
construction engineering and consulting
company.”
Peikko provided DELTABEAM® Design
Service where Peikko let external
applications use Peikko’s online resources
through an API communication layer. As
a result, DELTABEAM® design became
connected with the engineering workflow
within A-Insinöörit company.
“If you are interested in DELTABEAM®
design integration with your own
engineering platforms, don’t hesitate to
contact us,” Stirane reminds.
FOCUSING ON EASE OF USE
All Peikko Designer® applications
and modules released after 2018 are
cloud-based.
“The advantage is that you don’t
need to bother the IT department
for installation and configuration, or
worry about compatibility. Updates are
automatic and the design tools can be
used wherever you are. This has been
another goal to make software more
accessible,” points out Stirane.
The designers are used to making
do with less than perfect workflows.
“We focus on making the software
as easy and intuitive as possible. Our
aim is that using Peikko Designer® is
always a delight, never a chore.” ●
