Autodesk Advance Steel is the specialised BIM software for steel structure design. Integrated with AutoCAD, it enables 3D modelling of beams, columns, plates and connections with automatic generation of shop drawings, bill of materials and NC files for CNC processing. The standard for steel professionals.

Why choose Autodesk Advance Steel

In steel fabrication the mistake is not found on screen but in the workshop, when a cut piece does not fit. The cost of that piece is far higher than the time it would have taken to check it, and manual checking across dozens of drawings is exactly where an error slips through.

Advance Steel moves the check onto the model: sections and connections are objects that know their own rules, clashes are flagged while you model and shop drawings are generated from the model instead of being redrawn. If the structure changes, drawings, lists and machine files change with it.

What Autodesk Advance Steel is and what it is for

Advance Steel is based on AutoCAD and adds a specific engine for steel structure design. Profiles are selected from normalised libraries (EN 10025 for Europe, AISC for USA, AS for Australia) and positioned in the 3D model with intelligent constraints. Connections (bolted, welded) can be automatically designed by the software with structural verification.

The 3D model automatically generates shop drawings for each piece with dimensions, assembly details and bolt references. The BOM is automatically extracted and NC files for CNC machines are exported directly.

Key features

• Steel BIM modelling with AutoCAD
  Advance Steel runs inside AutoCAD, adding specialised steel structure modelling tools without leaving the familiar CAD environment.
• Automatic connections
  Design hundreds of connection types (flanges, angles, gusset plates, end plates) with configurable parameters. The software automatically verifies connection structural resistance.
• Automatic shop drawings
  Automatically generate shop drawings for every element (beams, columns, plates). Each piece has its own drawing with all necessary dimensions for workshop machining.
• NC and IFC export
  NC file export for CNC cutting and drilling machines. IFC export for BIM coordination with Navisworks, Revit and other software.
• Material and cutting lists
  Quantities come from the model and update when the structure changes, with no manual counting.
• Library of standard sections
  Sections, plates and bolts to current standards, to be inserted rather than modelled.
• Interference checking
  The model flags elements that intersect before the problem reaches the workshop.
• Complete Education license
  Every feature is active and the files produced carry no watermark and no reference to the Education version.
