RCAD Steel is a flexible
and easy to use software to allow users to easily define
steel structures inside Autocad. The software has a full
library of steel sections from around the world and also
has various "macros" built in as standard to facilitate
the simple generations of standard details, such as
connections, staircases and handrails. Facilities also
exist to produce simple general arrangement details are
even more detailed shop drawings. However, arguably the
strongest part of the solution is the ability of RCAD
Steel to integrate with ROBOT Millennium analysis and
design software, thereby providing a single solution for
drawing, analysis, design and final detailing. A typical
practical example of this could be that the draftsman
would set up a drawing in RCAD steel, the engineer would
then work on the integrated ROBOT file and maybe make
some changes to the section sizes used and then the
draftsman would benefit from a "seamless" update of the
drawing file that could then be taken further to produce
final drawings. The benefits, both in terms of time
saved and also accuracy, are obvious. |
