You are here: What is new » The GRAITEC Advance 2011 releases are available!
GRAITEC Advance is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) system that automates the entire structural design and construction documentation process from engineering design and structural analysis to member optimization, detailing and fabrication.
GRAITEC Advance provides designers and detailers with an optimal working environment with tools to create and completely carry out their construction projects: optimization of construction materials, elimination of project inconsistencies, faster study turnaround time, automatic document creation, project history and tracking, fluid communication with project partners, etc.
The development of the 2011 versions of the Graitec Advance suite focuses on 4 main themes
- Development of intelligent data exchange and interoperability of third party industry standard formats, software systems, industry partners and equipment manufacturers
- Enhanced ergonomic user interface and ease of use
- Improved performance
- Greater automation in the production of documents and project management designed to increase the productivity of users.
Interoperability
Graitec Advance 2011 enhances interoperability with Autodesk Revit® (Revit Architecture® and Revit Structure®). This allows Graitec users to carry out the design and the production of construction drawings from models designed in Autodesk Revit.
Another major development (and a massive step forward) in the field of plant design: Graitec Advance 2011 is now compatible with Aveva's PDMS® software package. The R&D teams of Graitec and AVEVA® have worked together to develop exchange protocols that allow Aveva and Graitec users to intelligently and efficiently share their design models. This is in addition to our full compatibility with industry standards: IFC, CIS/2, PSS, SDNF, KISS, etc.
