2. Class Summary
The goal of this class is to show how engineers and architects can collaborate working on steel structures in the same BIM model without losing important information and saving time.
TecnoMETAL and TecnoCAM from Steel&Graphics implement a solution for design and fabrication of steel structures
You will learn how you can use TecnoMETAL with Autodesk® Revit® software to model details and prepare fabrication information.
The direct integration between Autodesk® Revit® Structure and TecnoMETAL makes possible to complete the BIM process when working on steel structures, from concept to fabrication to construction.

3. Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:
Export 3D Model from Autodesk® Revit® Structure to TecnoMETAL
Insert typical steel structure elements in TecnoMETAL: joints, bracing, stairs, …
Analyze the model with solver (ie. SAP2000®)
Export steel structure with detailing from TecnoMETAL back to Autodesk® Revit® Structure
Generate Sub-Assembly, Marks, Material List and CAM File in TecnoMETAL
Manage all manufacturing process in TecnoCAM
Export 3D Model and fabrication information to Autodesk® Navisworks®

4. Section1: Integration between Autodesk® Revit® Structure and TecnoMETAL

5. 3D model concrete and Steel structure and connections, bracing, stairs
Insert details: connections, bracings, stairs, …
Check changes from Analysis
Analysis and verification of compliance
(AISC, EC3, ABNT, …)
