Benefits Of Using Autocad Software For Structural Steel Detailing
AutoCAD software is an advance application for quicker and effective detailing and
generation of fabrication shop drawings for steel and reinforced concrete structures. AutoCAD helps structural engineers, design drafters and detailers to collaborate and deliver accurate and complete fabrication shop drawings.AutoCAD Structural Detailing software helps enhance productivity with more accurate detailing and generation of shop drawings and increases efficiency through material-centric bills of quantities and schedules. Engineers and fabricators can automate reinforced concrete definition and structural drawing creation for different types of structural concrete elements. It comes with better Steel detailing capabilities to accurately model steel structures allowing faster and more efficient visualization of steel beam-column connections and shop drawings.
Country-Specific Detailing Templates:
Completeness and efficiency of shop drawings mainly depends on regional building codes and detailing standards (AISC, BS, CISC, etc) for each country. For this, AutoCAD offers templates that adhere to detailing practices, such as designations and dimensions, in a multitude of countries, ensuring automatic compliance with regional detailing methods and detailing standards.
Regional Databases:
AutoCAD has rich library of multiple databases from many countries across the globe to help provide access to locally required members such as steel sections, beam and column shapes.
Powerful Modeling and Connection Detailing:
AutoCAD has customized tools that allow speedy automation of repetitive structural tasks such as detailing of connections, roof trusses, stairs, hand-railings, stairs and purlins.
It is possible to modify any drawing element, its description, symbol, dimension or table. Generate new styles or change existing ones easily to make your drawings look the way you want to.
In summary, AutoCAD Structural Detailing software is a collaborative, versatile and fast structural design detailing application that integrates BIM, enabling contractors to readily analyze a wide range of steel structures.
