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.

Description

Numerous professionals utilize VisualAnalysis (VA) to efficiently meet their project deadlines. Users frequently commend it as "exceptional value" and "incredibly user-friendly." It provides essential tools that are budget-conscious. The software allows for the creation of 3D models for a variety of structures, including complete buildings, tanks, and towers, alongside offering both static and dynamic response analysis capabilities. It performs design code verifications for materials such as steel, wood, concrete, cold-formed steel, and aluminum. VisualAnalysis features comprehensive analysis and design functionalities, including automatic plate meshing, a command window, nonlinear elements, and dynamic time history analysis. Its 3D static and dynamic finite element analysis (FEA) is suitable for civil, mechanical, aerospace, and other types of structural evaluations. Additionally, it includes optional support for building code load combinations. Users can easily apply loads, distribute area loads to structural members, and manage gravity and lateral loads within the same project. The software enables the creation of frame, truss, or FEA models for nearly any type of structure, with the ability to sketch, generate, and import designs from CAD or BIM tools like Revit. With its rapid static analysis, P-delta calculations, AISC Direct methods, dynamic assessments, and nonlinear capabilities, it delivers proven and validated results for engineering professionals. Overall, VisualAnalysis stands out as a versatile solution for various engineering needs.
