AUTODESK ADVANCE STEEL

AUTODESK ADVANCE STEEL

Autodesk Advance Steel is a BIM (Building Information Modeling) software specialized in steel structural design, designed for engineers, draftsmen, and construction professionals who work in the field of metal structures. Based on AutoCAD, Advance Steel allows you to model, detail, and document steel structures with high precision, simplifying the entire workflow, from initial design to production and assembly.

???? Who it's suitable for

Advance Steel is the ideal choice for:

• Structural engineering firms that design buildings, sheds, bridges, and steel structures. • Metal carpentry workshops that need accurate 3D models for production and assembly. • BIM designers who require fluid interoperability with other Autodesk software such as Revit and AutoCAD.

???? Main features

✔️ Parametric 3D modeling

Advance Steel allows you to create intelligent and parametric 3D models of steel structures, including elements such as beams, columns, braces, stairs, handrails, frames, and connection plates.

✔️ Extended library of connections

Includes a wide range of standard and customizable joints: bolted, welded, with base plates, complex nodes, etc. Each connection is adjustable and can automatically adapt to model changes.

✔️ Automatic documentation

Automatic generation of executive drawings, views, sections, tables, material lists, and NC (Numerical Control) files ready for CNC processing.

✔️ BIM interoperability

Perfect integration with Revit for data exchange via the .SMLX format, promoting collaboration between multidisciplinary teams.

???? Import/Export

Supports numerous file formats, including IFC, DWG, DXF, NC, CIS/2, and SDNF for maximum compatibility with other software and production systems.

✔️ Revision management and quality control

Every change is tracked and managed efficiently, ensuring consistency between the model and updated documentation.

✔️ Intelligent layout

Advanced tools for the automatic creation of detailed tables, automatic numbering of elements, dynamic measurements, and 2D view management.

✔️ Tools for prefabrication and assembly

Complete support for production and logistics in the workshop, with the generation of assembly schemes, marking codes, and CNC files.
