The free WOOD-FIX module is a component of the FiXperience design and construction software family and provides simple and reliable calculations of wood connections and reinforcements with fischer screws. Rooftop insulation system fastenings for three different roof shapes can be calculated just as easily. The applicable wind and snow load zone are simply and quickly determined with the WOOD-FIX module. German users only need to enter their postcode to do so. Ten different applications in constructive wood construction can be assessed. The FACADE-FIX module of the fischer FiXperience programme family is ideal for compliant fastening designs of facade substructures made of wood on solid external walls. The tool can be used to fully design fastenings of wood facades with wood substructures with all of the necessary assessments according to applicable guidelines.

The fischer FiXperience design software helps planners, structural engineers and tradespeople from various trades plan fastening solutions for entire projects and individual applications in a targeted and cost-optimised manner. The programme allows plugs, anchors, screws, post-installed rebar connections and much more to be constructed and designed with ease, flexibility and reliability. In addition to the established desktop version of the C-FIX plug design programme (individual or network version), fischer now also offers a new online browser version. The software is valid across Europe in terms of current design standards, including several national application documents and the corresponding standards, and also covers conventional global design standards. The programme’s modular setup includes engineering software and specialist application modules for various different trades.

Tradespeople can access many useful functions and information on fischer’s fixing technology from anywhere and at any time with the fischer PRO app. The app is available on Android and iOS operating systems. The app’s product advisor allows users to quickly and easily find their way to the right individual product or suitable system solution by typing in a few standard parameters. Basic information on the environment, the anchor substrate, the method of installation, existing loads and component dimensions is required. Based on this information, the app quickly calculates the fixing or system solution that best meets the needs and requirements of the customer and project, such as fischer’s Power-Full or PowerFast II wood screws. Professionals can subsequently purchase products directly through connected online retailers or in-store. Users can furthermore chat directly with fischer’s Application Engineers, document their fixing processes and much more. The product advisor is also available as a web version for PCs.
