Starting out life as a modelling tool for structural engineers, Advance Steel has evolved into a highly capable steel detailing solution. Greg Corke reports on the AutoCAD-based software, which offers advanced modelling, connection design and a managed environment for the production of drawings, bills of materials and Numeric Control code. With over 30,000 users worldwide, Graitec is one of the largest structural software developers in the world, but the company remains relatively unknown in the UK. This is starting to change though. Building on its acquisition of Autodesk reseller, Adris Computing Concepts, in 2009 the French company formed Graitec UK, and now a year later it is beginning to gain traction with its Advance range of structural engineering and detailing tools. Advance Steel features a number of macros to help automate the modelling and detailing of steel staircases. Model courtesy of Marshall stairs (UK).
