Autodesk has released its new Advance Steel 2015 software for steel detailing.
This latest version of Advance Steel provides structural steel detailers, fabricators, engineers and contractors with 3D modeling tools, built on the familiar AutoCAD platform, to help accelerate more accurate detailing of structural elements, steel connections and plates. It is also designed to reduce time to fabrication by automatically generating shop and general arrangement drawings, creating bills of materials and producing CNC files directly from designs.
With interoperability between Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Navisworks and other BIM software, Advance Steel also provides a way to connect BIM-based design and construction through fabrication.
Advance Steel 2015 was unveiled at last month’s NASCC: The Steel Conference in Toronto and is the first branded product to come out of Autodesk’s acquisition of key technologies from Graitec.
