Advance Steel

Advance Steel product introduction

3D modeling software for detailed drawing, design, fabrication and assembly of steel structures.

 

Import 3D models to speed up steel structure manufacturing

Structural engineers can use the two-way link between Advance Steel detailing software and Revit to work collaboratively on the same 3D model, saving time and minimizing errors.

 

 

Automate repetitive tasks with an intelligent design toolset

Generate complex structures in fewer steps with the Dynamo Extension for Advance Steel. Use parametric steel structures to connect node libraries and dedicated tools to speed up design and other tasks.

 

 

Achieve greater precision and predictability with BIM workflows

Automatically create and update steel structure manufacturing deliverables.

Create model-driven construction deliverables and NC files to simplify manufacturing and installation.

 

 

Advance Steel 2020 for steel structure design
Advance Steel Detail Design software provides structural engineers and detail designers with a large library of intelligent parametric structural elements, steel structural connectors, and steel plates.

1. Steel structure modeling.

2. Detail design and documentation.

3. Interoperability.

View original drawings in AutoCAD

Object Enabler can be used to view Advance Steel drawings.

 

Autodesk offers a free downloadable Enabler that can be used to access, display, and manipulate this object data in applications that are different from the native environment for object data. This release allows access to model object data created in Advance Steel 2019 outside of the Advance Steel environment. It provides basic data accessibility for design teams that use Autodesk software to create or receive files. Specifically, Advance Steel 2019 Object Enabler allows AutoCAD Plant 3D users to view model objects, directly retrieve feature data, and work with capture Settings on objects. Advance Steel Object Enabler is available for 64-bit Windows.

Naviswork interoperability

Integrate data for quantification, simulation, and review.

Exporting models into Navisworks allows experts to collaborate more closely with stakeholders to reduce the risk of unexpected field problems.

 

 

Shared view

Improve collaboration within and outside the organization.

 

 

Attached point cloud

Use point clouds for higher accuracy.
