The "3skeng Steelwork Tool" offers all you need to draw Steelwork models with straight and chamfered segments. The segments can be connected by nodes. An extensive built-in library allows you to choose from many different standards from all over the world.
Structural Analysis of your "Steelwork Tool" designs
The "Steelwork Tool" allows you to design trusses based on their centerlines and analyze the quality of the model (e.g. "loose" connections) with the "3skeng List Tool". Using the “IFC Structural Analysis View” export you can directly transfer the structural analytical model of your design without losing any semantics in your BIM process.
Access the analytical model and control the quality
The structural analytical model will be derived from the "Steelwork Tool" entities within your drawing and its centerlines and nodes are displayed with their structural properties. In addition, an automatic design check is carried out. All parts of the model that are inconsistent with static considerations are highlighted. Check your model, find and resolve problems of your structural design.
Interoperability and efficient structural design with open BIM
Connect your SketchUp 3skeng model with structural analysis. The open file format IFC allows to transfer the structural analysis model of your "Steelwork Tool" construction to any structural analysis application that supports the “IFC Structural Analysis View” model view definition.
