Arning's Advance Steel 7.1 Software

The software that we use was specifically developed for industry professionals that require a comprehensive and completely integrated package in AutoCAD®. Advance Steel is software that automates the entire structural CAD process (fabrication, erection drawings, various reports) and creates NC fabrication data in AutoCAD®.

100% DEDICATED TO STEEL CONSTRUCTION

Perfectly embedded in AutoCAD®, Arning's software is a modeling package that accelerates the creation of general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, list of materials and NC files: complete library of structural elements, parametric and customizable connections, wizards for miscellaneous steel (stairs, railing, etc.), materials library, sections, bolts, etc.

From the model, Arning creates all fabrication drawings and offers a large selection of tools for automated detail creation, dimensions, annotations, symbols and drag and drop printing layouts.

STRUCTURAL MODELING

All the tools are provided for fast and efficient modeling. Creating a precise model is important since Arning will subsequently create all project documents (drawings, lists, NC files) from this model.

In the first step, Arning provides its customers with a large library of structural elements and design functions such as:

  • Common Industry Frames, Bracings, etc.
  • Common Profiles
  • Common Roofs
  • Steelwork (stairs, railings, ladders, etc., including joints)
  • Welded, tapered and curved beams
  • Plates management tools

AUTOMATED DRAWING CREATION

Once your design is completed, our software offers a wide range of automated functions to create all the fabrication and general arrangement drawings. A large range of formats (e.g. A4 to A0) and different page layout templates are available. Each detailed drawing is created as an individual DWG file. The details are automatically labeled and dimensioned. The drawing layout may be customized with specific requirements using the Drawing Style Manager.


General Arrangement drawings

  • Automated creation of an isometric view from the project, with many different label possibilities.
  • 2D drawings, such as elevation, anchor or roof plans are automatically labeled and dimensioned.
  • Function for automated view creation on the drawing for special situations such as a complex detail or a base point with the foundation.
  • Flexibility in the choice of the presentation rules for the details.

Fabrication drawings

  • Creation of individual fabrication drawings for single and assembly parts
  • Automated drawing creation by processes
  • All parts are automatically dimensioned and labeled with the required information
  • Dimension lines can be presented as Relative, Running or Ordinate
  • Function for part unfolding and tube templates
  • Required cuts from the main view will be created automatically

The Final Touch

  • Automated creation of a view when adding a cut line or other detail
  • Ability to change scale, clipping and presentation of the details within the drawing
  • Additional dimension lines (e.g. Arc, Angle….) can be created and modified
  • Quick additional label insertion by selecting the desired information directly from the model
