BIM Solution for steel structures and connections verification Auto CARD or BricsCAD application.
You can create a 3D model of the structure and verify the connections. Inside the software there are over 1000 customizable connections and macro procedures to quickly create the most common metal structures (towers, stairs, purlins, bracings, truss ...)
See in detail what are the strengths of this design tool
TecnoMETAL allows you to quickly design steel frame structures with all necessary workings. The 3d models allow to automatically extract the two-dimensional drawings, the workshop scketches and the cutting lists of the materials for production.
In TecnoMETAL 2020 you can find precompiled styles for the automatic extraction of 2d drawings that can be modified by the user both for the manufacturing and the assembly on site phase. The extracted elements are linked to the model to help manage revisions due to model modifications.
It allows you to extract the bills of materials and bolts from the 3d model.All lists can be customized and exported to Excel format. There are many types of lists such as: all elements of the model, profile type, bolt list, cutting list, etc.
TecnoMETAL allows you to create a structure according to BIM logic, so you can share the models with other 3D software such as Revit, Inventor, Solidworks, PTC CREO Modeling, Esain, Smartplan, Naviswork. You can create IFC, STP, PML, SDNF, DWF 3D files.
TecnoMETAL also contains a number of extremely useful commands such as sheet metal nesting, DXF file creation from CAM files, and vice versa, creating bent profile CAM files and dividing welded profiles into plates, searching for and checking identical cam files, creating families for Revit, export list of necessary treatments (with division between cuts, holes ...), increase or decrease of holes diameter directly in the CAM file.
TecnoMETAL allows you to insert chamfers and cuts in both the plates and the profiles. It also allows to insert and indicate the type of welding. The welding can be marked to obtain a list with information on the type and material required. The welding preparations inserted are in the cam file to facilitate the fabrication.
TecnoMETAL performs the automated marking of the entire model. It is possible to configure the marking so that the name of the marks and positions is alphanumeric. Also, it is possible to perform a marking according to the AISC standard. Within the marking subassemblies can be created. It is possible to do the marking with all the marks at quantity 1, this marking is required when it is necessary to trace the 100% of the structure, in addition the marks can be renamed in 2d drawing automatically and we can view them inside the 3d model.
From the 3D Model are automatically obtained the sketches for the production and the assembly views. It is also possible to obtain a table of connections designed with the 3d Connections macro. Extraction settings can be customized. It is possible to insert 2D perspective drawings including mark, position, and bolt information. Detail drawings can be generated in two ways: Single Drawing = one piece per drawing and Multi Drawing = in which the designer selects and inserts single elements.
Macros are tools that greatly facilitate the modeling work and allow you to include automatically elements, such as: wireframes, connections, braces, security stair, sailor type stairs, spiral stairs, handrails, towers, purlins, bridges, curtain walls, porches, steps, circular platforms, piping supports, tie rods, turnbuckles, hoppers, rectangular and polygonal pylons, etc.
In addition to all the traditional types of profiles, it is also possible to register composite profiles, cast-in profiles, tubes with connections for spatial structure, variable section profiles, welded tubes, profiles for aluminium structures and generic profiles where the user can register any desired profile geometry. It is possible to propagate a change to all equal parts or just to the selected parts.
TecnoMETAL, contains a series of security controls that are important in the modelling phase. There are a number of commands that can automatically delete the errors, recreate groups, and automatically delete elements that are no longer needed and that cause problems by making the project bigger than necessary. There are also commands that verify the marks and positions and notify in case of inconsistencies (essential when revising the project). It is also possible to verify the connections through the insert connection macro. The interferences can be checked by means of a specific command, and overlapping plates and bolts can be eliminated automatically.
The Sketches are a CAM files and contain all the information for the fabrication and also for CNC machines. The sketches can be displayed on the computer and it is possible to set up the display. The CAM file can be exported as DXF, PDF, DWG, NC and DSTV file. It is possible to create a CAM file from a bent profile as a plate development, welded or composite, it is possible to create a CAM file from a tube with cuts and you can also import the CAM file to scale as a file DWG.
It is possible to insert more than 1000 automatic combinations of connections of that can be saved in the database to be reused in other models.There is a specific option for welded and bolted joints. After inserting a connection into the model, you can modify the connection and decide whether to propagate the same modification to all the identical connections in the model. The connections inserted through the macro can be verified by entering the constraints.
The TecnoMETAL database comes complete with a series of information such as profiles, bolts, connections, materials, treatments, mechanical elements, etc. Databases can be shared on a network so that all team designers can have access to the same data. You can also copy information from one database to another. All information entered in the database can be modified or new data can be added.
