Detailing Software
The main steel detailing software packages used in the UK are listed below along with website links.
StruCad
by AceCad software: www.acecad.co.uk
One of the most popular products in the UK with structural and architectural steelworkers alike.
X-Steel
by Tekla: www.tekla.com/uk
Probably the most polished steel detailing software available, but also the highest priced.
Advance Steel
by CADS: www.cadsglobal.com/advance_steel_home
A relative newcomer offered by CADS who are best known for their excellent RC detailing software.
ProSteel 3D
by Struc Soft (recently bought by Bentleys): www.strucsoftsolutions.com/prosteel3d
Little used in this country, but well worth looking at. They have recently brought out a lite version which may be a great benefit to structural engineers and small fabricators who don’t need to detail entire buildings.
