What is MicroStation?
MicroStation is a high-performance CAD solution designed to boost organizational productivity and reduce infrastructure project risk. Engineering firms using MicroStation have reported a 30% reduction in Quality Assurance / Quality Control time thanks to its superior standards adherence and integrated collaboration tools. MicroStation accelerates project delivery by automating tasks in the creation of drawings, models, and visualizations directly from BIM data. Its seamless 2D/3D connection ensures that changes to a model are automatically reflected across all associated documentation, minimizing rework and human error. By supporting natively used formats like DWG without conversion, MicroStation eliminates the time-wasting manual re-entry of data. It is the strategic choice for organizations looking to transition from simple drafting to more efficient, data-driven workflows while maintaining a competitive edge in the infrastructure market.
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.
