Description

Framing serves as a versatile design tool tailored for timber frame and floor construction, addressing the evolving demands of the contemporary offsite construction sector. It is widely adopted by timber frame producers, structural engineers, and design firms, facilitating the creation of detailed 3D models for timber frame structures, which in turn generates thorough material schedules and manufacturing drawings suitable for both manual assembly and direct integration with industry-standard automated machinery and saws. The software excels in detailing a variety of timber frame building styles, and although it primarily operates within a 2D context, it efficiently constructs a 3D model based on user specifications, enabling straightforward verification of levels and heights throughout the process. This capability enhances accuracy and streamlines workflow, making Framing an essential resource in modern construction practices.

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.
