What is GRAITEC Advance Design?

Advance Design is a powerful and intuitive FEM Structural Analysis software specifically designed for structural engineers engaged in a BIM environment. It efficiently manages the design of various structures, accommodating a range of load conditions while incorporating concrete, timber, and steel elements in a cohesive manner. Adhering to essential code standards such as Eurocodes and North American regulations, Advance Design significantly enhances the BIM experience. The software promotes intelligent, model-driven processes that are advantageous for both engineers and construction professionals. Acting as a BIM platform, it maintains the integrity of geometric and analytical data throughout the design lifecycle through seamless model exchanges. Additionally, the analysis results are stored within the Digital Model, adding substantial value to the BIM workflow. For instance, these findings can directly support the development of rebar designs or steel connection configurations within Revit, paving the way for innovative structural design solutions. With its robust features, user-friendly interface, and complete compatibility with Revit®, Advance Design is supported by a team of dedicated professionals and presents a flexible licensing framework to meet varying user requirements. This blend of capabilities not only simplifies the design process but also positions Advance Design as an indispensable resource for contemporary structural engineering projects, ensuring engineers are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of modern infrastructure challenges.

What is Braceworks?

The Braceworks® add-on for Vectorworks Spotlight provides a seamless solution for professionals in design, production, and rigging to evaluate the load-bearing capabilities of temporary structures. This groundbreaking module not only improves safety but also guarantees compliance with engineering regulations and standards, promoting a unified approach to modeling, analysis, and documentation all within one platform. As regulatory frameworks, such as the Eurocodes, become more stringent and demands from venues, municipalities, and property owners escalate, businesses engaged in event design, audiovisual installations, and rigging are increasingly required to generate detailed load and structural calculations for approval by structural engineers. Users are able to perform static and FEM analyses, with results clearly displayed on the model for easy understanding. Furthermore, it generates thorough calculation reports automatically, streamlining the documentation process and boosting efficiency in project execution. This indispensable tool is vital for those in the industry who strive to uphold exceptional standards of safety and compliance in their endeavors. In a rapidly evolving landscape, the ability to swiftly adjust to new requirements is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge.
