Simpson Strong-Tie

Strong Frame® Moment Frame Selector Software

For more than 60 years, Simpson Strong-Tie® has focused on creating structural solutions that help people build safer and stronger homes and buildings. One such solution is the Strong Frame® Moment Frame Selector Software that helps designers select an ordinary or special moment frame for their project’s given geometry and loading. Only minimum input geometries are required for the software app to select an appropriate frame for the available space. Based on input geometry, the Strong Frame selector software app will narrow down the available stock frames to a handful of possible solutions. If opening dimensions are outside stock frame sizes, designers can enter the specific opening dimensions, and the Strong Frame selector will provide possible customized solutions.
