bocad Steel for any steel structure

bocad Steel software offers a complete solution for modelling and fabrication of any type of steel structure: metalwork, staircases and handrails, traditional frameworks, bridges and other structures, from small projects to large-scale industrial and architectural projects.

A modern user interface offering a logic-based workflow enabling users to quickly and accurately model and detail their structural projects. A large library of automatic connections that can be customised to company standards, enables to create models quickly. There is no limits on the number of elements or materials. The general arrangement drawings, as well as the fabrication and assembly drawings required for the workshop and fabrication, always reflect the model and are of the highest quality. The various interfaces (import/export) in different formats enable interoperability with other software and allows to work on BIM projects by producing digital twin.

Key features:

    - Modelling of simple structural profiles in accordance international standards.

    - Complex parts, curved, triangulated, bent sheets, gratings, corrugated sheets, etc.

    - Library of user-defined and customisable connections.

    - Full catalogue of fasteners and anchors.

    - Management of welds in accordance with the latest standards, with the possibility of weld traceability thanks to weld numbering.

    - Model verification tools (connection, collision, etc.)

    - Customisable automatic model numbering for a nomenclature that meets your criteria.

    - Revision management on elements after modification.

    - Approval, material, shipping, assembly and bolt lists.

    - Plate and bar nesting tool for material procurement.

    - General arrangement drawing and graphical tools for annotating and dimensioning drawings. Drawings are always up to date in relation to the 3D model.

    - Automatic drawings for fabrication and assembly, tube development, drawings to scale one for oxycutting or laser cutting.

    - Files for NC-DSTV CNC machines or more specific tube cutting machines (HGG, Mueller).

    - Interfaces in standard IFC, SDNF, STEP and IGES formats.

    - PDF3D, DXF3D, DGN and VRML generation.

    - Import and export to DWG.

    - Links to various production management or ERP tools.
