What Is Advance Steel?

Advance Steel is Autodesk's 3D software for steel design, detailing, and fabrication. Structural engineers, steel detailers, and fabricators use it to build an accurate 3D model of a steel structure, then produce the fabrication drawings, bills of materials, and NC files needed to cut, build, and install it.

Because engineers and detailers work from the same model, Advance Steel improves coordination, clarifies design intent, and reduces rework between design and fabrication. With Advance Steel you can:

Achieve a seamless design and detailing workflow for projects in BIM
Move rapidly from design to fabrication
Streamline steel fabrication and installation
Automate repetitive tasks with an intelligent toolset
Create accurate drawings and data for fabrication
Connect workflows with integrated tools in the AEC Collection

Advance Steel Features

Parametric Steel Connections

Choose from a customizable library of ready-to-use connections, and propagate connections automatically across similar joints.

Stairs and Cage Ladders

Model the miscellaneous steel that goes with the structure, not just beams and columns.

Sheet Metal and Folded Plates

Create 3D folded plate elements in a range of shapes.

Connection Code Checking

Check steel connections against AISC standards during design.

Automatic Fabrication Deliverables

Generate and update fabrication drawings, bills of materials, and NC files for CNC machines as the model changes.

Dynamo for Complex Geometry

Use the Dynamo extension's visual programming to create parametric geometry for complex structures.

Advance Steel in a BIM Workflow

Advance Steel is built to work with the other structural tools in the Autodesk AEC Collection:

Revit: exchange steel models with the building model
Robot Structural Analysis Professional: connect structural analysis to detailing
Navisworks: coordinate steel with the full project model
AutoCAD: work with AutoCAD drawings and standards
Forma Data Management (formerly Autodesk Docs): share and sync design data in the cloud

I have had so many classes over the years it's hard to recall all of them. Gary is unbelievably talented at speaking and ensuring all of us clearly understood and could replicate what was being taught. I'm sure you understand what an amazing employee you have on your hands. Thank you so much for this great training.
