AS 4100 utilisation

No loads on this model, so member utilisation is zero. Import a model carrying loads (SpaceGass / SAF) or add loads in Studio for a real AS 4100 check.

Worst AS 4100 member utilisation:

section(s) aren't matched to a catalogue, so their members can't be AS 4100 checked (shown grey). Rename them to a standard designation (e.g. 310UC96.8) to include them.

Click a member for its section, mass and check status · drag to orbit, scroll to zoom.

Pick a standard connection to override the inferred quantities, or click Auto-assign to apply the library based on joint geometry. Enter design forces and click Check to run the verified Rust capacity check.

Member overrides

Adjust length, mass, section, or add extra operations for an individual member.

Supply + fabrication are mass-driven; operations are derived from the model geometry and standard connection assignments.

Rates

Rate library

Indicative starter rates - tune them to your costs, or import your supplier's price list under . Add branches to charge different rates per location - type in a branch cell to override Master, blank inherits it.

Group
Rate Master

No branches yet - every quote uses Master rates. Add branches under Fabricator hub to set per-location rates.

Highlighted cells override Master for that branch; clear a cell to inherit Master. * marks the branch pricing the current quote (change it in the quote worksheet header).

Rate overrides

Charge different rates for specific section families (e.g. a higher coating rate for UB). Pick the families, then add only the rates you want to override - everything else uses your Rate library defaults.

Import your supplier price list. A simple Section family, Steel $/tonne sheet sets your master and per-family steel rates.
