AVEVA Bocad 3.2: Advanced Software for Steel Detailing & Fabrication AVEVA Bocad 3.2 is a specialized, object-oriented CAD software for the 3D modeling, detailing, and fabrication of steel and metal structures. It is a core tool used by steel detailers, fabricators, and engineers to create accurate and constructible models of complex structures—from industrial plants and commercial buildings to bridges and offshore platforms—and to automatically generate all necessary workshop drawings, assembly plans, and material lists. Core Function: Intelligent 3D Modeling for Direct Fabrication The software’s primary strength is its production-oriented 3D modeling environment. Unlike general CAD, it uses intelligent, parametric steel objects (beams, columns, plates, bolts, welds) that carry fabrication data. Changes to the model automatically update all associated drawings and...

Beamworx 2025.3.1: The Enhanced Suite for Steel Design & Fabrication Beamworx 2025.3.1 is an updated release of the integrated structural steel engineering software, focusing on the design, analysis, and detailing of steel connections and members. It streamlines the workflow from the analytical model (e.g., from SAP2000, ETABS, Robot) to fabrication-ready workshop drawings, incorporating bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially minor feature enhancements over version 2025.3. Core Function: Bridging Analysis and Fabrication The software’s core purpose remains to automate the transition from a structural engineer’s global analysis model to the detailed 3D model required by steel detailers and fabricators. It ensures connections are designed to relevant codes and that all necessary fabrication information is generated automatically. Key Functions: Intelligent 3D Connection...
