Advanced Steel
3D modeling for steel construction
The steel construction software Advance Steel is built on the AutoCAD platform. It helps structural engineers speed up design, modeling, fabrication, and construction execution in steel construction.
Connect Autodesk Revit models with Advance Steel to export, import, and synchronize features, transferring the model's BIM data to LOD 350 for structural steel.
Accelerate design, fabrication, and construction
Automate recurring tasks
With the Dynamo extension for Advance Steel, you can build complex structures in fewer steps. Use the library of parametric steel connections and specialized tools for faster design and other tasks.
Create more precise drawings with automated tools
Automatically generate and update components for steel fabrication. Create model-based shop drawings and NC files for more streamlined fabrication and installation.
Minimize risk of errors
Engineers and detailers are directly involved in the design and detailing process, speeding up the step from design to fabrication and reducing errors.
