It’s a reliable software that speeds up the workflows from design to fabrication with powerful 3D modeling tools that boost the accuracy of deliverables. The package is ideal for fabricators, architects, mechanical engineers, structural steel detailers, and engineers.

This is an innovative industry-application that provides collaborative tools and enable users to gain interoperability flexibility to remain competitive in the structural steel global marketplace. The program is designed on the AutoCAD platform thus offering a familiar interface that expedites customizations and implementations while reducing the cost of training. Its key features include sheet & plate metal work, structural modeling, cold rolled steel, multi-user collaboration, document management, and automated drawing creation.

Autodesk Advanced Steel is a powerful software with features that support fast and proficient modeling. The solution supports all the widely used CAD functions & concepts, and work well in 2D or 3D depending on the structure being modeled and user preferences. Its 3D model-based tools accelerate design and enable users to deliver accurate steel detailing with a wide range of structural element components and intelligent, parametric objects.

The customizable automatic joints boost the efficiency and increase the speed of designing and modeling steel connections. Autodesk Advanced Steel integrates innovative technology that significantly accelerates and automates joint creation.  In addition, the application adopts a reliable “Model Share” technology with inimitable work sharing tools. This, speeds projects and allows users across multiple geolocated offices to collaborate in real multi-user mode.

Another notable feature is the automated drawing creation module. This package provides a spectrum of automated functions that enables users to create general arrangements and fabrication drawings with ease. It provides multiple templates and drawing layouts that can be customized to suit user’s preference with the drawing style manager.

Autodesk Advanced Steel has a user-friendly document management module. This reliable feature centralizes the time-saving tools used to sort out details, check drawings, and print BOM. When your drawings are complete, you can easily create lists, bill of materials (BOM), and NC files.
