Description

In the intuitive interface of 123Build, users can effortlessly sketch a beam of a frame structure directly on the screen. Following this, the model is enhanced through a graphical and interactive process that incorporates boundary conditions along with both permanent and variable loads. 123Build takes care of the complexities, consistently producing optimal outcomes such as beams with minimal height, steel profiles with reduced weight, or girders that adhere to maximum deflection limits, allowing for both efficient and rapid design. This comprehensive solution encompasses all essential features required for effective structural design, culminating in the generation of a concise and easily understandable analysis report. Additionally, 123Build provides a detailed reinforcement sketch along with a material quantity list, which includes the total volume of timber and concrete, the overall weight and volume of reinforcement, as well as the painting surface and steel weight, ensuring a thorough understanding of the project’s requirements. This all-in-one approach not only streamlines the design process but also enhances accuracy in material estimation and structural integrity.

Description

Advance Design serves as a robust and user-friendly FEM Structural Analysis tool specifically tailored for structural engineers working within a BIM ecosystem. It adeptly handles the design of various structures, accommodating different load types while integrating concrete, timber, and steel components seamlessly. With compliance to significant code standards, including Eurocodes and North American guidelines, Advance Design elevates the BIM experience significantly. It fosters intelligent, model-driven workflows that benefit engineers and construction professionals alike. By functioning as a BIM platform, it ensures the preservation of geometric and analytical data throughout the design process via smooth model transfers. Furthermore, analysis outcomes are preserved within the Digital Model and contribute meaningfully to the BIM workflow. For example, these results can facilitate the initiation of rebar designs or steel connection processes directly within Revit, creating innovative opportunities in structural design. With its powerful capabilities, user-friendly interface, and full compatibility with Revit®, Advance Design is backed by a dedicated team of experts and offers a flexible licensing structure to accommodate diverse user needs. This combination of features makes it an essential tool for modern structural engineering.
