Index.....................................................................................................................169 WELCOME In this chapter: GRAITEC has developed a global CAD / Analysis & Design platform that allows you to verify and optimize your structures. It accelerates the crea- tion of reinforced concrete and steel structures with tools dedicated to modeling and accelerating document creation for the construction proc- ess: general arrangement drawings, detailing, manufacturing drawings, lists, BOMs, etc. Advance includes: – The Steel suite for creating structural steel arrangement drawings, shop drawings, lists and NC files – The Concrete suite for creating reinforcement and structural con- crete drawings – The Design suite for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures and automated creation of design reports Advance is part of the GRAITEC CAD / Analysis and Design suite and therefore directly connects to other GRAITEC engineering solutions. This user guide, dedicated to the Steel suite, is structured into 8 chap- ters describing a steel construction project from start to finish. All software tools described in this guide and all remarks related to the product pertain only to the Advance Steel suite and for reading simplifica- tion only the generic name Advance is used. ■ Introduction ■ Specialized areas ■ Advance and AutoCAD® ■ Technology ■ Communication options ■ Individual preferences ADVANCE STEEL USER’S GUIDE 8 Introduction This user guide for Advance is an introduction to working with Advance, describing the basic Advance method- ology with detailed description of the most important tools. The user guide can be used as a learning tool but is also useful as a basic reference for individual topics using the index. Since not all Advance tools are described in detail in this guide, refer to the online Help for more information on all commands and parameters. The general Advance work methodology is explained in this Introduction, in- cluding typical industry applications for Advance, exchanging information and specific user software configura- tion. The Creating a 3D model chapter explains the use of the most common Advance construction elements (i.e., beams, plates, connection elements, structural elements such as stairs) and joints. Using simple examples, a general overview of the basic tools and methods used to create a model is presented. The Numbering chapter describes the options provided by Advance to automatically assign model elements with clear single part and assembly marks. The various methods for Checking the model in Advance will insure a correctly built 3D model and accurate bills of materials. This chapter describes the tools for checking collisions in the model and correctness examina- tions. The automated document creation such as bills of materials from the 3D model is presented in the Lists / Bills of materials chapter.
