Class summary
To maintain a competitive advantage, more and
more structural engineers are trying to find a way to
capitalize on their Building Information Modeling
(BIM) data for steel detailing and fabrication. This
class will focus on showing how Advance Steel
software is proving to be the missing link that
enables structural engineers to capitalize on their
Revit Structure models for steel detailing and
fabrication.

Key learning objectives
At the end of this class, you will be able to:

Export Revit Structure model and import into Advance Steel


Create automated steel connections between the members imported
from Revit
Generate automated fabrication drawings and NC files
Use Sync to review and import any Revit changes into Advance Steel or
validate an Advance Steel model in Revit

Industry Trends
Delivering on BIM Mandates
AEC industry’s technological change has seen exponential growth in BIM uptake. So the question is no
longer “What is BIM?” The new question is “How can I leverage BIM on my projects?”

Maintaining a Competitive Advantage


With the project leads now demanding that entire teams leverage BIM solutions, contractors need to find
new ways to differentiate themselves from their competition and provide the best service and value to
their clients.

Keeping Lean
With the tough economic and competitive environment and these new working practices to tackle, the
challenge to effectively advance lean production and processes to increase profitability is difficult to
address.

Collaborating Effectively
As BIM centres on collaboration, successful teams need to be equipped to deal with it. With greater
project requirements, it’s become even more challenging to maximize efficiency by collaborating
effectively.

So what’s the Solution???

© 2016 Autodesk
The Solution is

A workflow in which we have a single unified model


from design to documentation
Project complexity will reduce
Interoperability will avoid errors and redundancies
Result in improved productivity
Better project coordination

Autodesk Advance Steel
Advance Steel is a software specifically designed for structural engineers and
steel detailers who need an easy-to use steel detailing application.

Allows Bi-directional data interoperability with Autodesk Revit Structure

Automates the creation of complex structural models and connections that


would be too tedious to manually model

Increases productivity during the creation of construction detailing and


documentation drawings, bills of material (BOMs) and reports

Importing Advance Steel
Connections into Autodesk Revit

Importing Advance Steel Connections into the
Autodesk Revit Model (for LOD 400 or above Jobs)
Structural Engineer working on LOD 400 or above jobs need to deliver fabrication
level structural model.
Especially, the projects in high seismic regions require the structural engineer of
record to be involved in the connection designs and to give guidance to the
fabricator.
Generally the structural detailers working under the fabricators are capable of
working on the fabrication level model.
There has been a shift in this industry and now certain structural engineers are
starting to deliver the LOD 400 model.
Autodesk Revit 2017 allows you to create steel connections inside Revit.
Alternatively, you can import the structural connections from Advance Steel straight
into Autodesk Revit.
