What Are The Benefits Of Model-Based Steel Detailing?

Since last decade, steel detailing business is dealing with increased competitive pressure. Some of the challenges faced by steel detailing organizations are mentioned below:
    • Clients are under pressure to deliver the project rapidly at lower prices.
    • AEC professionals are largely scattered due to increased outsourcing of engineering services.
    • Shortage of skilled laborers leading to a difficulty in hiring qualified staff.
    • Migration to BIM or Building Information Modeling is increasing as it has become a prerequisite in most of the new business. However, migrating to model-based steel detailing software is expensive. 

    To overcome the challenges mentioned above, steel detailing industry is moving towards a model based detailing solutions like Autodesk Advance Steel. Advance steel allows an information-rich model-based workflow to give several benefits. It includes libraries of materials, sections and other components with inbuilt standards and codes from around the world to help you cater any kind of project needs. It allows for efficient modeling of:
    • Bracings, side rails, roofs, common frames
    • Folded plates
    • Welded, tapered and curved beams
    • Steelworks like railings, ladders, and stairs
Let’s see some of the benefits Advance Steel software offers for more enhanced Structural Steel Detailing.
Advantages of using Advance Steel Software for Detailing-
    1. Automate Detailing:
    Advance Steel allows you to automatically generate shop drawings, general arrangement drawings, and assembly drawings. Additionally, these drawings can be created as per the needs as it offers the software has a feature of customization.
    Design changes can be easily accommodated during structural steel detailing process. When you update the model, all other deliverables also get updated automatically from shop drawings to NC data. The updated drawings are uploaded to the revision clouds for an integrated revision control.


    2. Reduced Inconsistencies:
    The model-based approach of this software allows reducing redundant data by removing errors. It also reduces the waste created in fabrication shops and fields as the information is derived from a consistent information-rich steel model. It integrates a material information system software to keep project information up to date.


    3. Enhanced Interoperability:
    Model-based detailing process engages in BIM workflow easily. So one can use 3D models to collaborate with the architects and designers more effectively. There is no manual recreation of data and therefore the risks of errors reduce. 
    With this interoperability, the detailers can import the 3D models from the structural engineers as a starting point of their CAD steel detailing. This enables to compare the original and updated models. It also gives alerts about the creation, modification, and deletion of the structural members. Further, the 3D models can be exported to the contractors for project coordination. The ability to minimize the rework due to any changes by design team is the best interoperability advantage.
