Advance Steel Building Structures |
||||
| Advance Steel´s grid tools and object oriented functionality provide powerful 3D modelling tools to quickly create the building geometry and connections. All elements within the building model i.e. beams, columns, plates, bolts, etc. are intelligent objects. Easy to use frame generators speed up the creation of most typical frame types. |
| |||
| Beams: Advance Steel 6.1 provides enhanced options for creating compound beams including: easier editing; a library for users to store their own sections for future reuse; as well as support for compound beams in many joint macros. |
| |||
| ||||
|
Curved members: Advance Steel 6.1 is the latest release of CADS' 3D steelwork modelling software, and effectively addresses curved beams and circular structures. Beams can be created from lines and polylines (including 2D, 3D straight and curved). Advance Steel can model and detail curved members of any profile. Plates can be created in any shape and thickness, using the rectangular or polygon plate tools. |
| |||
| Folded and Curved Plates: Advance Steel 6.1 also provides for customised 3D folded and curved plates, which can be both modelled and developed into 2D templates for fabrication. |
| |||
|
Connection Detailing: Advance Steel provides a range of powerful parametric macros for modelling all commonly used joint types. Any unusual connection types can be detailed interactively by assembling the individual components and even saved to a library of "User Joints".
| ||||
| ||||
|
New tools in Advance Steel 6.1 include: a copy function for both macro and interactive joints which automatically detects corresponding parts to save time. The choice of joints available to users is extended with the introduction of bent plate joints for connecting a secondary beam to a main beam; corner base plate joints for columns; and joints for working with curved beams, including single and double-sided end plates, fin plates, angle cleats and bent plates. Many existing joints, including stair and handrail macros, have new enhanced functionality and additional options. Users can also save and reuse interactive joints via the new `User Joint´ templates. | ||||
