Description

OpenBuildings Designer, previously known as AECOsim Building Designer, is Bentley's comprehensive solution for multi-discipline building information modeling (BIM). It enables users to explore, innovate, and expedite the design and construction of buildings more efficiently than ever before. With the ability to design, analyze, document, and visualize structures of varying sizes and complexities, it enhances communication of design intent while overcoming obstacles between different building disciplines and teams located in different regions. The software empowers users to advance their building information modeling practices, leading to quicker project delivery and increased assurance in aspects such as design integrity, workflow efficiency, and overall productivity. By fostering collaboration among architects, mechanical, electrical, and structural engineers through a unified set of tools and processes, it streamlines project management. Furthermore, users can seamlessly integrate information from various formats and confidently tackle projects of all scales, ensuring that their design intentions are communicated clearly with customizable and dependable deliverables. This comprehensive approach ultimately transforms the building design process, making it more cohesive and effective.

Description

ProSteel software enables the efficient creation of precise 3D models for structural steel, metal projects, and steel assemblies. It allows users to swiftly generate design drawings, fabrication details, and schedules that automatically update in response to any modifications made to the 3D model. Furthermore, the software provides detailed outputs for CNC machines, streamlining the steel fabrication process. ProSteel is designed to support your construction and planning efforts for structural steel and metal work within a 3D modeling environment. When used alongside AutoCAD or MicroStation, it offers an intuitive and integrated multi-material modeler that is ideal for designing complex structures, producing shop drawings, assembling connections, and managing bills of materials. You can quickly extract 2D drawings that will adjust automatically when the 3D model is altered. Additionally, ProSteel's interoperability with other Bentley and third-party applications facilitates seamless information exchange across different disciplines, improving collaboration and efficiency throughout the project lifecycle. This capability enhances the overall workflow, making it easier to coordinate tasks among various teams involved in the construction process.
