Framing
Elecosoft
The modular solution for timber frame construction and floor construction is Framing. It meets the needs of the offsite construction market. The Framing software, which is widely used by timber frame manufacturers and structural engineers, is used to detail timber frame buildings in three-dimensional, produce comprehensive material schedules and create manufacturing drawings. It also has direct links to automated machinery and saws. Framing can be used to detail a variety of different types of timber frame building. While working primarily in a 2D environment a 3D version is created based upon the user's input. This allows for easy checking of levels within the application. -

The cost of a separate PDM system is eliminated by the integrated version control and simple management tools. You and your team will always have the most current design data. Every modification made by any user is recorded and can be reverted at any time. This provides unlimited undo/redo as well as a documented audit trail. Many product ideas can be developed simultaneously through branching and merging. SolidFace's parameterization capability is a key advantage. It is available in all design steps. 3D Motion simulation is no exception. The simulation is updated simultaneously as the movement. The simulation of 2D mechanisms is another important capability. This can be done in either 2D drawing or 3D sketch module. This online part library is available directly through SolidFace's software interface. It contains over 100 million parts numbers from hundreds leading component manufacturers and distributors, as well as thousands of ISO, ANSI and DIN, NF and GB, ASME and other standards.
