GRAITEC Unveils Advance Steel 2009 for Structural Analysis
Will be available on November 15
 BIEVRES,
France, Sep 30, 2008 - GRAITEC, the International software developer for CAD
and structural analysis solutions for civil engineering launches the 2009
release of Advance Steel software.
Aimed at steelwork construction and design offices, Advance Steel is an easy to
use 3D steel structural modeling (profiles, joints etc.) software solution
that automatically creates general arrangement drawings, detail drawings,
material lists and NC files. Advance Steel is running on AutoCAD.
The 2009 version focuses on 3 main themes:
- collaborative work for users simultaneously working on the same
model
- security and speed improvements
- productivity increase
Collaborative work
Thanks to our unique “Model Share” technology, GRAITEC brings exclusive
innovation to CAD technology in the field of steelwork construction enabling
users to simultaneously and securely work together on the same model.
Each member of a project team therefore has access to a master model and can
check-out the elements they need to work on. In addition, users get
real-time notifications enabling them to identify which parts of the model
are being worked on by other members, truly coordinating the project. Areas
of the model that have been checked-out by other members are always
available in a read-only mode. When the work is done, users have the ability
to “publish” their work back to the master model, thus making it instantly
accessible to other members, guaranteeing secure data protection.
Advanced features such as “partial loading” are also available to enable users
to work on assemblies without the need to extract all associated elements.
GRAITEC’s “Model Share” technology is a truly collaborative engineering
solution that ensures fast modeling to Advance Steel 2009 users, providing
an efficient, productive and secure solution. organization solution.
Enhanced security (and speed) performances
Advance Steel 2009 is now the only CAD solution for steelwork construction that
features continuous update of all NC-DSTV files index since it permanently
gives information about document status and validity. This functionality was
previously available for drawings (general arrangement drawings, detail
drawings) but now has been extended to all documents: drawings, material
lists and NC files.
Advance Steel 2009 users are permanently informed which drawings need to be
re-issued depending on your projects’ modifications.
Enhanced functionalities aimed at increasing steel detailers’ productivity
Advance Steel 2009 also includes many other enhancements to improve the quality
of drawings automatically created from the model.
Main improvements (non-exhaustive list):
- Automatic dimensions of saw-cuts on fabrication drawings
- List of saw-cuts parts with integrated images
- Ability to modify both dimensions and view depth on drawing
viewports
- Automatic dimensions of environment parts
- Improved automatic placement of dimensions
- The addition of various wizard commands for automatic assemblies
