User manual AUTODESK AUTOCAD BROCHURE

[. . . ] The software provides tools that help automate the creation of concrete reinforcement drawings and enable efficient modeling of steel connections and shop drawings. AutoCAD Structural Detailing supports the BIM process for structural engineering by extending structural design workflows to fabrication, enabling a more efficient and accurate process for creating fabrication details and drawings. Interoperability with Structural Analysis Software AutoCAD Structural Detailing enables the import of structural steel models created in Autodesk® RobotTM Structural Analysis software or CIS/2 files for faster 3D assembly and further detailing. The reinforcement detailing capabilities of AutoCAD Structural Detailing enables users to import reinforcement data from Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis for automatic generation of drawings. Links to CNC Machines for Fabrication AutoCAD Structural Detailing provides direct links to computer numeric controlled (CNC) fabrication machines through DSTV format, helping to minimize redundant data input for the fabrication of steel parts. [. . . ] In addition, convey and present realistic complexities of your design with a comprehensive 3D structural model. Powerful Modeling and Connection Detailing Macros AutoCAD Structural Detailing provides special tools and smart macros that help speed automation of time-consuming structural tasks, including connections, roof trusses, stairs, railings, ladders, and automatically spread elements, such as grates or purlins. Customizable Detailing and Shop-Drawings Styles Styles enable users to adjust the look of final shop drawings. It is possible to change many drawing elements, descriptions, symbols, dimensions, or tables. Create new styles or modify existing ones to help make your drawings look the way you want. Drawings and Material Takeoff Generation Use your 3D structural model to automatically generate workshop drawings, schedules, and material takeoff data. Intuitively change your model, and leave time-consuming documentation updates to AutoCAD Structural Detailing. Intelligent Objects Help simplify your modeling processes using profiles, plates, and other objects. Virtually cut, lengthen, bend, split, and merge while updating material takeoffs.

Faster and More Efficient Reinforcement Detailing and Scheduling Automate reinforcement definition and generate shop drawings for all types of structural concrete members. AutoCAD Structural Detailing software offers reinforcement detailing capabilities and provides templates that are based on detailing practices in a number of countries, enabling better adherence to local detailing methods and appropriate bar schedules. Execute faster and more efficient detailing and scheduling of concrete elements, including pad footings, staircases, beams, and columns, using intelligent tools and macros. Intelligent Rebar Elements Define reinforcement of structure members using objects and bars, with automatic accounting for covers and hooks. Concrete Element and Rebar Definition Macros Generate comprehensive concrete reinforcement drawings, together with rebar descriptions and material takeoffs, with AutoCAD Structural Detailing macros. Rebar Definition Use standard shape bars based on a wide variety of country codes, or draw your own nonstandard bar shapes. Define longitudinal reinforcement and rebar in cross section, and enjoy automatic, more appropriate distribution. Choose from a variety of reinforcement types, including straight bars, radial reinforcement, or wire fabric. Our engineering group uses AutoCAD Structural Detailing to produce reinforcement shop drawings specifically for concrete shear walls. In order to automate the distribution, tagging, and scheduling necessary for our specific rebar drawings, we were able to develop custom tools based on existing macros. Beyond the productivity gains, AutoCAD Structural Detailing provides ease of use and programming capabilities for our engineering teams. --Sébastien Scholl IT Project Manager Spie Fondations, France Drawing Preparation and Material Takeoffs Generation Help speed up preparation of your reinforcement drawings with tools to automate rebar definition. Automatically produce schedules within AutoCAD Structural Detailing, or export to Microsoft® Excel® software or Microsoft® Word software. Automatically update schedules to reflect changes in your drawings, as you make them. Building Information Modeling for Structural Engineering Integrated tools for modeling, coordination, analysis, design documentation as well as shop drawings and fabrication. Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations. By adopting BIM, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners can more easily create coordinated, digital design information and documentation; use that information to visualize, simulate, and analyze performance, appearance, and cost; and reliably deliver the project faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact. BIM for structural engineers follows this same methodology for the entire structural engineering process, focusing on a digital model that can be used for coordination with architects; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers; and civil engineers that is integrated with analysis, design, and construction documentation, and extending that digital model from design through fabrication and construction. AutoCAD Structural Detailing supports the BIM process for structural engineering by extending structural design workflows to fabrication, enabling a more efficient and accurate process for creating fabrication details and drawings. AutoCAD Structural Detailing is an intuitive and userfriendly tool for creating shop drawings. One of its biggest advantages is the ability to customize styles according to our requirements, and its work environment gives us the flexibility we need on our projects. --Adam Zieba Managing Director Bartels Poland Learn More or Purchase Access specialists worldwide who can provide product expertise, a deep understanding of your industry, and value that extends beyond your software.
