Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations. By adopting BIM, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners can more easily create coordinated, digital design information and documentation; use that information to visualize, simulate, and analyze performance, appearance, and cost; and reliably deliver the project faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact. BIM for structural engineers follows this same methodology for the entire structural engineering...

AutoCAD Structural Detailing, built on the familiar AutoCAD Interoperability with Structural Analysis Software > ή platform, helps enhance productivity with more precise detailing and creation of fabrication shop drawings, and improves accuracy through material-specific bills of quantities and schedules. Engineers, drafters, and fabricators can automate concrete reinforcement definition and shop drawing creation for various types of structural concrete members. Steel detailing capabilities include the ability to model steel structures or import CIS/ files, helping to enable faster and more ecient...
