Interoperability, BIM & Analytical Revision Control - Modeling And Geometry Generation

Coordinate physical and analytical structural models, review BIM/analysis change sets, map sections and releases, preserve load-path data, and revalidate STAAD/RCDC results after model revisions.

3D Analytical Model Builder

Create joints in global X-Y-Z space, connect member incidences, assign simple base supports, and inspect the resulting STAAD text model.

A real model still needs member properties, materials, releases, loads, and stability checks. Geometry that looks connected can remain mathematically disconnected if joint coordinates do not actually coincide.
