StruCad evolution announced

4th November 2010

AceCad Software, a leading supplier of structural supply chain solutions and services, announces its StruCad evolution product for the Building and Construction, and Plant Industries.

StruCad evolution

StruCad evolution is a complete 3D structural detailing and information management system for steel detailers and fabricators.

StruCad evolution provides an environment for rapid detailing automation, automatic fabrication shop drawings and CNC production deliverables. Users benefit from a highly productive modern and data driven user-interface with integrated document and model management. The integration platform further enables unequalled levels of interoperability and integration with related design and analysis systems.

Where implemented fully, StruCad evolution will enable effective collaboration between engineers, detailers and fabricators; enabling them to derive more value when executing structural steel projects - through reduced steelwork design, fabrication, construction schedules and costs.

StruCad evolution features:

• Leading interoperability with third party structural analysis, design and plant modeling systems - The all new Integration Platform, including CIS2 and IFC support.
• Highly productive and flexible modeling and detailing environment that caters for even the most complex of structural designs - Brand new user friendly Interface.
• Detailing automation and parametric connection and joint modeling, with a comprehensive library of connection and CAD macros.
• StruConnect - integrated connection design system - AISC and EC standards are in development.
• Wizards for commonly required items - stairs, handrails, ladders, portal framed structures and pipe racks.
• Bespoke and generic light steel framing and cold rolled tools.
• Built in estimating module - Advanced production integration with StruM.I.S
• Updated model management and multi user functionality.
• Automated revision control.
• Automated drawing and fabrication deliverables production including: Multi-member assemblies, fabrication details, member shaft drawings, fitting details, wrap-around templates, and CAM member and fitting details.
• Productive 2D environment.
• Complete reporting and listing functionality.
• Post Processors for all major CNC Machinery Manufacturers and CAM/DSTV viewer.
• Document management to centralize information/documents.
• Full project collaboration - StruWalker - Advanced bi-directional information transfer.
