Both the structural engineering and building industries are constantly challenged to meet demands for design and safety in the USA. That’s why we created the AFOS® anchor design software.

AFOS® is a powerful and simple to use anchor design software developed in accordance with the American Concrete Institute requirements.

With AFOS®, you’ll accurately design, analyze and report following strict ACI 318-19 compliance and ICC certification using a range of expansion anchors, screw anchors, wedge anchors and adhesive anchors. Using our simple interface – input data and results are displayed on the same screen.

At Allfasteners, we understand the needs and requirements of structural engineers – the complex design required, delivering accurate results and much more. That’s why our AFOS® anchor design software is FREE!

We want you to be able to design the anchors you need, with accurate results, at no hassle to you.

The AFOS® software was developed to fill a real demand in the industry. Don’t believe us? Take a look at how this was designed.

• Design with Elastic Base Plate, using a practical base plate thickness generating realistic results.
• 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Prying Loading is considered
• If designing with a rigid base plate assumption, the AFOS® anchor design software can calculate the base plate thickness for this assumption to be valid.
• Complex custom base plate shapes and anchor arrangements
• Various structural profiles, including stiffener plates
• Displacement and rotation of the profile is calculated
• Seismic design

• The accuracy of our anchor tension force calculation using elastic base plate methodology with FEA has been verified with lab testing and is published in peer reviewed engineering publications.
• The base version of the software has been tested and certified by the Institute of Construction Materials at the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
• 3D FEA gives more accurate and realistic results than 2D FEA
• Independently developed anchor design software without manufacturer/supplier bias

• Design is made simple with intuitive interface
• Calculation results are updated instantly
• Fast and simple
• All inputs and results are visible on the same screen – no multiple tabs needed
• Works with multiple fasteners grades and finishes

• Generate either summary or detailed reports
• Print a single report comparing all anchors
• Print a 3D image of the connection from the angle

The free and ready to download AFOS® will help you select the correct anchor for your projects specifications.
