Advance Steel 2019: What's new in store for Steel Detailing?

Advance Steel 2019 software offers a pool of elements, connections and other tools to help structural engineers carry out steel detailing efficiently with much ease. Here's a list of features it has to offer for steel modeling, documentation and interoperability:

Steel modeling

    1. Parametric Steel connections: It offers ready to use Connection Vault that can save a lot of time for engineers. A connection can:

    • Browse advance steel connections
    • Create a corresponding connection by looking at the sample image of other connection
    • Grouping connections that are frequently used in a category

    2. Built-in connection design engine: Check for steel connection design in real time.

    3. Stairs, railings, and cage ladders: Advance Steel allows for miscellaneous steelwork more quickly. One can create complex structures like:

    • Straight stair
    • Saddled stair
    • Hand-railing
    • Cage ladder
    • Spiral staircase

    4. Sheet Metal and folded plate work: Quickly creates 3D folded plates of any shape by joining different plates together.

    5. Fabrication data information: In Advance Steel 2016, there was an option for customizing fabrication data settings, galvanizing settings, and approval status for connections. But with the latest updated release, one can also visualize these objects and connection box properties in Object Properties Manager Window.

    6. Dynamo Extension: Create parametric complex structures with a visual programming tool.

    7. Select and View part of a model: One can isolate and display selected elements with the following level of details:

    • Low: only beams are displayed as lines.
    • Medium: only beams are displayed with their proper section, together with shortenings and cope features.
    • Medium with plates: Plates are also visible without any cuts.
    • High: Beams and plates are visible together with all their features.

    8. Intelligent structural objects: It enables quick modeling through the object library supported.

Documentation
    1. Call out on drawing: One can use call out on drawing to create a call out from a 2D or 3D view on your drawing. This new feature helps in creating more compelling drawings quickly and easily.
    2. General Arrangement Drawings: With th is feature, one can produce clearer drawings on site.
    3. Steel Shop Drawings: Now with Advance Steel 2019, it is possible to create more accurate Structural Shop Drawings for better Steel Fabrication.
    4. NC Data: It is possible to generate data for CNC workshop machines.
    5. Accurate BOM’s: Now you can generate accurate BOM’s based on design data.
    6. Document Manager: Control and track and documentation. Changes may take place both in the model and the drawings. With document managers, you can track the changes in the drawings automatically. 


Interoperability
    1. Bidirectional link with Revit: It allows for model synchronization, thus, fabrication can be done quickly.
    2. BIM 360 Interoperability: BIM allows for collaborating with the design team more efficiently. 
    3. Custom Settings Import: Now you can import your custom settings while moving to newer versions.
    4. Work Sharing: Several users can work on the same project at a time with minimal complications.
    5. Model-based approval workflow: It gives color-coded objects based on approval status.
These are the features provided by Advance Steel 2019 for more enhance steel fabrication and detailing.
