CADWorx Steel is a full-featured steel modeling package that allows users to
quickly insert steel members into their design or build complex steel structures
with full coping and database capabilities. The CADWorx Steel Standard module is
included with CADWorx Plant Standard. The CADWorx Steel Professional module is
included with CADWorx Plant Professional.
CADWorx Steel is a full-featured steel modeling package that comes complete with
international steel shapes and catalogs. CADWorx Steel provides tools to quickly
insert steel members into a design or build complex steel structures with full
coping and database capabilities.
The program allows straight or curved steel members to be placed on construction
lines or at any place in the design. The editing of the steel members’ sizes,
lengths, coping and notching against adjoining members is easy. All steel
components can be linked to project databases for full and comprehensive bills
of material reports.
3D Modeling
CADWorx Steel is the easiest structural modeling package on the market. The
program uses intuitive tools that make creating frames, structures, pylons,
towers etc. a breeze! The 'Point and Shoot UCS makes placing members in any
position and orientation painless and quick. If you can work in 2D you already
have the knowledge to produce intelligent three diminutional steel models that
take less time than they would if they had been done in 2D.
Comprehensive Steel Libraries
CADWorx Steel comes complete with a full library of international steel shapes
in both imperial and metric units. Either metric or imperial shapes can be
placed in either environment without the modification of their underlying
datafiles, allowing maximum flexibility for global projects whilst reducing
conversion rework and input mistakes.
Frame and View Creation
CADWorx Steel makes the creation of complex 3D steel structures as simple as
drawing in 2D. Multilevel frames with vertical or sloped sides can be combined
to create intricate layouts that will allow you to easily place steel members by
picking single or multiple frame lines to have the program automatically place
steel members in the model.
As each frame is created CADWorx Steel automatically creates AutoCAD views for
each elevation, column or row in the model. CADWorx Steel's built in routines
can also automatically dimension and annotate each elevation, column or row view
for ease of drawing creation.
User Shapes and Customization
CADWorx Steel allows structural designers and engineers to create user shapes
that can be made up of plates or derived from any extruded profile. This means
that you can build on CADWorx Steel's capabilities and deliver what you need -
intelligently!
Editing and Modification
As all CADWorx Steel members are intelligent so they can be easily modified by
selecting them and modifying their properties. Functionality also exists that
lets you automatically cope steel members against each other. You can
additionally cut, trim and join any members - allowing modifications to the
design without time robbing remodeling.
Databases, Reports and Bills of Material
CADWorx Steel outputs to popular database formats and has full auditing
capabilities making sure model and database are kept in sync. Center of gravity
calculations are automatically created and can be shown on-screen, in drawings
or in a detailed repot. User configurable bills of material are also available
directly from the model or from the external database.
