Advance Steel

Advance Steel was specifically developed for industry professionals that require a comprehensive and completely integrated package in AutoCAD®. Advance Steel is affordable user-friendly software that automates the entire structural CAD process (fabrication, erection drawings, various reports) and creates NC fabrication data in AutoCAD®.

100% dedicated to steel construction

Perfectly embedded in AutoCAD®, Advance Steel is a modeling package that accelerates the creation of general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, list of materials and NC files: complete library of structural elements, parametric and customizable connections, wizards for miscellaneous steel (stairs, railing, etc.), materials library, sections, bolts, etc.

From the model, Advance Steel creates all fabrication drawings and offers a large selection of tools for automated detail creation, dimensions, annotations, symbols and drag and drop printing layouts.

Structural Modeling

All the tools are provided for fast and efficient modeling. Creating a precise model is important since Advance Steel will subsequently create all project documents (drawings, lists, NC files) from this model.

In the first step, Advance Steel provides the user with a large library of structural elements and design functions such as:

• Common Industry Frames, Bracings, etc.
• Common Profiles
• Common Roofs
• Steelwork (stairs, railings, ladders, etc., including joints)
• Complex folded plates (e.g., conical or twisted)
• Welded, tapered and curved beams
• Plates management tools

Advance Steel works in 2D or 3D depending on the user's preference and the type of structure being modeled. Advance Steel supports all basic AutoCAD® concepts and functions (snap points, grip points, copy, etc.).

In the second step, Advance Steel has libraries of customizable automatic joints (more than 300 joints) and offers the possibility to create specific joints using a wide range of tools:

• Polygonal cuts on plate and beam (cope, along centerline, polygonal, on the UCS, with an angle)
• Placement of bolts, holes and shear studs
• Welded connections

Advance Steel assigns automatic part marks. Through dialog boxes, the user can define the numbering prefix, method, starting number and increment. Advance Steel will then proceed to final checking: element collisions, tool access (buildability), and consistency of element marks (fabrication, delivery and assembly).

Knowledge Engineering: Advance Steel integrates a new adaptive technology that automates and significantly accelerates joint creation. When creating a joint, Advance Steel analyses its environment and recognizes if a similar situation has occurred in the past. The software then suggests the optimal joint in the desired category while taking into account its structural integrity. (*Only available for certain types of joints and standards.)

New Joint Design Engine

Advance Steel can now automatically design common joints within the user interface. To create a joint the user specifies the efforts (kip) and Advance Steel quickly designs the joint. The correct type and quantity of bolts, plate thickness, etc., are automatically inserted in the model and a full design report is created!

Advance Steel is the only CAD software for steel structures that easily models sheet metal work. It only takes two clicks to create an element, for example, a conical shape from two AutoCAD entities (circle, square, etc.) or between two profiles with different diameters.

The drawings for these shapes are automatically obtained along with their unfolded representation.
