Engineer-of-record responsibility #

ILX Connection is a tool to assist qualified structural engineers. It does not provide engineering services, and its results are not a sealed or approved design.

• The engineer of record is solely responsible for the design, including the choice of loads, materials, connection types and details, and for confirming that the results are suitable for the project and comply with the governing building code and the project specifications.
• Every result, drawing and report produced with ILX Connection must be independently reviewed and checked by a licensed professional engineer before it is used for construction or issued to others.
• ILX Connection covers the limit states and configurations described in its user manual. Conditions outside that scope (for example, fatigue, seismic detailing beyond what the manual lists, fire, corrosion, erection stability, or unusual geometry) must be addressed by the engineer separately.

Accuracy #

ILX Studio, LLC tests ILX Connection against published AISC design examples and documents every difference from the published values (see Verification). Even so, software can contain errors. ILX Studio, LLC makes no warranty that the results are free of errors or fit for any particular purpose, and accepts no liability for the use of the results, as set out in the Terms of Service.
