-Design more easily using custom connections between elements such as plates, beams, bracings, purlins, platform covers, or compounds.
-Optimize your steel sections earlier in the project and leverage a powerful link to exchange models, including geometry and sections. Easily import, export or synchronize steel BIM models.
-Stay ahead of the curve by utilizing the latest features and improvements in your design workflow. Access expert support from GRAITEC and benefit from a wealth of online resources, including help documentation and tutorials.

Complement and balance your projects perfectly with PowerPack for Advance Steel.

Modeling Tools
The PowerPack for Advance Steel comes with a large number of modelling tools that aim to boost productivity and accuracy. The user has a set of simple and intuitive commands like Beam Repeated or Beam Continuous that creates straight, and curved/ poly beams. For more complex sections the Corrugated, Castellated, Cellular, or Beam with Openings are the right choice.

Connection Vault
PowerPack for Advance Steel extends the standard library with a variety of parametric and intelligent advanced connections: Threaded Rod Connection, Tube to Tube Connection, Purlin Connection, Plates on Profile, Plate for Multiple Bracings, Curved End Plate – Plate & Grating Stiffeners

Platform Cover Creator
Platform Cover Creator is one of the stars of the PowerPack thanks to its versatility. The joint helps to automatically create grating or plate cover based on selected members, and gives the user many possibilities: Create covers even if the contours are not closed, Split covers directly from the joint by beams or by points, Add bolts on edges, Add additional contours

IGES/STEP Export
Formats are widely requested by many manufacturers for designing molds or for pricing manufactured parts, the export in IGES and STEP formats completes the PowerPack solution. These types of file formats are helping the user to be more productive when it comes to sending files to third applications for the fabrication process.

Stairs and Railings
Stairs and Railings can be easily customised within the PowerPack for Advance Steel dialogue box. The interface elements offer a consistent structure, which makes it fast and efficient. Users can choose from numerous features and options for stairs & railings configuration, with editable parameters (dimensions, steps, treads, strides, connection types, etc.) to get the required structure.

Synchronization
Based on the GTCX file format, the synchronisation mechanism completes the BIM workflow. The main benefits of the synchronisation mechanism are: Possibility to bring the changes made in the Advance Design model without losing the information already available in the Advance Steel model; Control any detail of the synchronisation process
