StruCad

Industry Leading Output and 3rd Party Integration

The productivity benefits associated with StruCad software extend further than its intrinsic modelling and detailing power. StruCad is also designed to integrate fully with all recognised standards in software and hardware.

Analysis and Drawing Format Links

AceCad has established dedicated links with every major developer of structural analysis/design software, enabling the StruCad model database to be used effectively across engineering and detailing disciplines. Some of the standard drawing format links and numerous product specific links include:

  • CIS/2
  • SDNF
  • DSTV
  • DXF™
  • DWG™
  • DWF™
  • PM
  • Staad
  • MicroStran
  • SuperSTRESS
  • GT Strudl
  • Space Gass
  • Risa 3D
  • Analyse 3D
  • Tower
  • SACS

Contract Management Links

The StruCad model provides information to populate most M.R.P. and M.I.S. systems; including the StruM.I.S .NET fabrication management system, specifically designed to maximise the productivity benefits of integration with StruCad. Information is provided by the StruCad model to populate StruM.I.S .NET reports, including estimates, purchase orders and fabrication batches. Live visual 3D fabrication tracking is also facilitated by the StruWalker model and the StruM.I.S .NET system.

CNC Machinery

AceCad's close working relationships with all the major international CNC equipment manufacturers and the announcement of recognised industry norms in the form of DSTV standards has enabled significant strides in seamless workflow. Fabricators can make significant productivity gains in their processes as the StruCad system contains all the necessary latest DSTV approved CAM data to control CNC machinery. StruCad also supports the very latest DSTV standards for scribing technology, introduced by some of the larger CNC equipment manufacturers. Additionally, StruCad has numerous dedicated manufacturer specific links to a variety of fabrication equipment.

Cold Rolled Systems

In many regions, cold rolled components are an increasingly popular integral part of the structural steel project. In response to this and to meet the needs of our users, AceCad has integrated an extensive range of cold rolled systems within the StruCad modelling environment. AceCad works closely with existing and new Cold Rolled Manufacturers to ensure that their most-up-to date systems are at the disposal of StruCad users.
