SUPPARTS 4.2 Release: Bolt Anchors with Peikko Integration

With the 4.2 release, we are expanding the SUPPARTS® library to include certified Peikko bolt anchors and, for the first time, integrating automatic load calculation according to Eurocode 2 directly into the Allplan workflow.

The new version of our Allplan extension closes a central gap in fastening technology. Architects and structural engineers gain direct access to certified manufacturer components — without the detour of external libraries or manual maintenance of component data.

What's New in This Version

The focus of this release is on the integration of parametric components and automated load calculation. Both functions save measurable time in execution planning.

  • 27 new Peikko bolt anchors with updated data sheets
  • Automated load calculation according to Eurocode 2 (DIN EN 1992-1-1)
  • Direct export of design results into the bill of quantities (BoQ) format
  • Improved performance for large models with over 500 components

Integration of Peikko Components

The Peikko library is synchronized directly via our SUPPARTS® API. As soon as Peikko updates a data sheet, the new version is available in Allplan within 24 hours.

  • Real-time synchronization: Manufacturer data is retrieved via a signed API and secured against manipulation.
  • Version control: Each component in the model stores the data sheet version valid at the time of planning.
  • Offline mode: The locally cached library remains fully functional in the event of a connection failure.

Supported Anchoring Types

The following component types are included in the library as of Release 4.2:

TypeDescriptionLoad Range
HPMStandard bolt anchor50 – 200 kN
HCRReinforced bolt anchor200 – 600 kN
PSBPunching shear reinforcementvariable
WELDA®Anchor plateup to 800 kN

Important for existing projects: Automatic migration converts existing components from version 3.x. After migration, check the design results on a random basis — deviating safety factors from older releases will be updated to the current Eurocode standard. SUPPARTS Engineering Team

Automated Load Calculation

The new calculation module completely replaces manual Excel workflows. The design is carried out parametrically based on the load assumptions stored in the model — without the need to copy values between applications.

  1. Load points are read directly from the Allplan model
  2. Calculation runs in the background according to EN 1992-1-1, Abschnitt 6.4
  3. Results are stored as parametric attributes on the component
  4. Export to the CAD model and the bill of quantities occurs automatically

Detailed information about the API can be found in the technical documentation. For questions regarding migration from older versions, please contact our technical support.

Availability and Update Path

The update is now available free of charge for all SUPPARTS+ licenses. Standard license holders will receive the new components for an additional fee at the next contract renewal.
