Description

Advance Steel is a specialized steel detailing software that operates within a 3D modeling framework, which ultimately integrates into a document management system. This 3D model is comprised of smart structural components, including beams, plates, bolts, and welds, which can be assembled using Parametric Connection tools that facilitate the duplication of connections throughout the model. Consequently, this model serves as a central hub for generating general arrangement drawings, shop assembly drawings, and part drawings essential for the fabrication process. Additionally, the software possesses features for platework, enabling the creation of intricate folded plate details required for flat pattern development drawings intended for shop applications. The program includes tools for constructing steel frameworks utilizing intelligent macros that accommodate adjustments to overall frame dimensions and section profile selections, all while leveraging Parametric connection tools for standard connection types and the flexibility to design custom connection details tailored for unique circumstances. This comprehensive approach ensures that every stage of the detailing process is streamlined and efficient, ultimately enhancing productivity in steel fabrication projects.

Description

These metrics reflect the data that underpins the design's purpose, ensuring a well-balanced and safeguarded power distribution framework that encompasses aspects like short circuit current, grounding configuration, voltage hierarchy, and connectivity to the electrical grid. PowerCalc emerges as an innovative solution for designing a building's power distribution system. This robust tool delivers results driven by a comprehensive database, significantly reducing the time spent on design, minimizing errors, and smoothing out potential process disruptions. By leveraging its extensive proprietary database, PowerCalc makes informed selections of appropriate values to ensure adherence to the NEC and other relevant codes and engineering standards, which includes the NEC lookup tables. With just three user inputs for each circuit—namely load kVA, load type, and number of poles—PowerCalc can generate 300 outputs that comply with NEC, IEEE, and additional standards. Furthermore, any modifications made within the design are instantly updated throughout the entire system, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in the design process. This seamless integration allows designers to focus more on creativity while ensuring compliance and functionality.
