HiCAD Steel Engineering

Industry-specific special functions, state-of-the-art technologies and a high degree of automation lead you directly to success, even when dealing with very complex constructions in the field of steel engineering, or related areas such as glass, metal and facade engineering.

From planning and detailed construction to realistic representation, HiCAD Steel Engineering provides you with powerful functions, automated procedures and tools which enable you to significantly reduce product development times and improve product quality - even for highly complex projects involving various industries.

The highlights:

• Clear overview of complex structures and documents in the Information + Communication Navigator (ICN)
• Fast and easy insertion of beams and connections with the help of an expert system, easy derivation of user-specific beam groups
• Convenient data exchange with all market-relevant CAD, structural calculation and production systems
• Identical part search during itemisation and automatic creation of workshop and detail drawings
• Cost control through automatic derivation of the BOMs based on the assembly structure
• Time savings thanks to automated connections, DAST connections and construction aids as well as intelligent and convenient engineering change management
• Error minimisation thanks to integrated collision check and analysis tools
• Reduction of part diversity thanks to reliable referencing of individual parts or assemblies
• Integrated staircase construction and special functions for glass, metal and facade construction
• Windows-compatible operation philosophy ensures low training costs and rapid familiarisation
• Integrated Drawing Management
