Who is Sci-Steel for?
This toolkit is developed for Structural Engineers who use Autodesk Advance Steel and need to be able to adapt quickly to changing design concepts. The more complex geometries they work with, the more time consuming it is to update structural elements when a new design is introduced. The Sci-Steel toolkit exists with the purpose of making workflows more efficient in such situations by automating tedious and time consuming tasks.
Key Benefits
➜ Cost & time savings
➜ Minimizing mistakes
➜ Intuitive design
Our Conrtibution
Ease of use
We know the Structural Engineer's point of view. We have worked extensively with Dynamo and Advance Steel and know how to combine both to facilitate workflows.
Reliability
We leverage our Advance Steel, AutoCAD and Dynamo API knowledge and software development skills to create a Dynamo plug-in with multiple utility components.
Versatile
Sci-Steel is designed for all types of structural projects - from climbing walls to complex facades.
Our Solution
Sci-Steel is a plugin for Dynamo Advance Steel that adds selection, read geometry and create element functionalities. Aimed at automating repetitive tedious tasks in engineering and helping design of complex geometries from import.
