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 modelling to Advance Steel users, providing an efficient, productive and secure organization solution.   Security and Tracking: Advance Steel is 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 (drawings, material lists and NC files). Advance Steel users are permanently informed which drawings need to be re-issued depending on your projects' modifications. Clash Detection: Advance Steel models can be fully collision checked (including all members, plates and bolts) with a single mouse click. This means there is no chance of errors accidentally slipping through to site undetected.  Even the root radius of hot rolled sections is checked against other parts for collisions.
Part numbering: Part numbers can be allocated automatically at any time as the modelling proceeds and only changed under the user's direction. Identical parts are detected automatically and the part numbers assigned accordingly.  Part numbers can also have prefixes assigned automatically or manually.
Automatic Drawing Production: Advance Steel can automatically create all the drawings you need for fabrication and construction from an easy to use menu. These include general arrangement drawings, single part details, fabrication drawings and developed templates for contoured tube ends, folded profiles and complex 3D folded plates such as boxes and cones etc.
Drawing Style Manager and Process Manager: Users can retain all manual modifications they have made to their drawings after an update, with automatic labelling and dimensioning of drawings. Users can modify the xy-viewport and depth of view as well as rotate a view, all from within a drawing.
CNC Files: Many fabricators now have machinery that can be programmed automatically from CNC data. Advance Steel is able to create such files in the industry standard DSTV format and can be interfaced to all leading machine suppliers, including Kaltenbach, Peddinghaus and many others.
Reports & Lists: Advance Steel has a powerful material listing module providing pre-set templates for material lists, plate lists, saw lists, assembly lists, bolt lists etc as well as a flexible "Template Wizard" for customising your own templates for content and format.  These reports can then be printed or exported in various file formats such as PDF, XLS and many others.

CADS System Advance Steel is part of CADS System.  CADS System is a suite of engineering software that can be used independently or in combination to fulfil your individual project requirements.
