JORDAHL, a brand under the PohlCon Group, specializes in structural connection solutions for reinforced concrete and precast construction. Its software tools translate German-engineered hardware—anchor channels, shear rails, and punching-shear reinforcement—into verifiable calculations that architects, structural engineers, and precast detailers can drop directly into BIM workflows. JDSD focuses on the design of JDSD and JDSDQ shear connectors, allowing users to check higher transverse loads in balcony slabs, stair landings, and façade panels while automatically generating European Technical Assessment (ETA) compliant capacity tables. JORDAHL EXPERT widens the scope to entire channel layouts: it sizes anchor channels for curtain-wall fixings, positions punching-shear reinforcement around column heads, and exports 3-D anchors and schedules to Revit or Tekla, eliminating iterative hand calculations and reducing on-site welding. Typical projects range from high-rise cores and stadium precast seating to industrial façades where thermal bridging and fire resistance must be documented. Both programs embed national annexes for DIN, Eurocode, and British standards, produce printable proof reports for authorities, and update material libraries whenever PohlCon releases new profiles. JORDAHL’s software is available for free on get.nero.com; downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest versions and permitting batch installation of multiple applications.
