Graitec release Advance Steel 2009
GRAITEC, the international software developer for CAD and structural analysis solutions for civil engineering launch their latest release of Graitec Advance Steel software.
Graitec Advance Steel 2009 looks set to offer steelwork professionals unrivalled AutoCAD ® based productivity. With their 9 th release Graitec look set to firmly stamp their mark in the industry in the UK, as they have throughout Europe.
Graitec Advance Steel is an AutoCAD ® based structural modelling solution specially developed for the steel industry to increase design productivity and production quality. As an AutoCAD ® based product, Graitec Advance Steel is easy for new users to become familiar with and using its simple toolbars and comprehensive wizards to adjust specific parameters of the design. Graitec Advance Steel automatically generates drawings according to your selected project criteria and now with significant speed improvements to the production of drawings means you now get results 3 times faster!
Graitec Advance Steel 2009 can link and share data with analysis suites and design products, enabling users to achieve a continuous CAD / Design process. Carl Spalding, UK Business Manager comments "Designers can already import their analysis data directly into Advance Steel producing an instant 3D project model in a matter of minutes. With the speed improvements and enhancements to drawing presentation they can now go from a design model to a full set of drawings in less than half an hour". This makes Graitec Advance Steel a vital link in any organisation looking to reap the financial benefits of working in a true project-model based environment.
The most notable development for the new release is the multi-user functionality; Graitec Advance Steel 2009 is breaking new ground in project collaboration and coordination. The unique 'Model Share' technology enables an entire project team to work on a single model in a controlled and live environment. The potential productivity and coordination benefits are incalculable! Advanced features such as 'partial loading' mean users can work on a part of an assembly without the need to extract all associated elements, providing an efficient, productive and secure solution.
Other enhancements include new profiles for T's, welded beams, window and door sections, updated UK specific cold rolled profiles and cladding, improvements to everyday modelling tools and an over-haul to the built-in document manager. Graitec Advance Steel already offers revision control out of the box, reducing the risk of releasing incorrect drawings and with version 2009 it is now the only Steel Design CAD system that controls revisions on extended documentation such as BOM's and NC-DSTV files.
Graitec Advance Steel 2009 is scheduled for UK release on November 15 th 2008, it is available in 10 languages, is fully compatible with AutoCAD ® and is available as either 32-bit or 64-bit.
