Virtual Steel
Virtual Steel is a special CAD system for modeling steel structures. The construction is recorded three-dimensionally with rolled profiles or self-defined profiles with the usual cross-sectional shapes. You move through the virtual building like in reality.
Connections are created between the profiles using a connection library. Changes in detail are made in the two-dimensional workshop drawing and are displayed in the 3D system after the changes. Using transparencies and free cutting, details can be optically checked in 3D, even if it is a large project.
Overviews of the complete model or parts of the model can be transferred to the familiar CAD system as 2D drawings at any time, where they are available for further processing.
A parts list with identical parts recognition and manual positioning options supplements and supports the planning process, because objects can also be selected and identified in the graphic using the parts list.
Virtual Steel can be expanded with modules in such a way that common structures such as steel halls or industrial stairs can be effectively constructed with just a few details. Interfaces to other CAD systems and structural analysis programs are used to exchange data in both directions, primarily in 3D but also in 2D.
