BIM for design and detailing of steel structures: a guided workshop (sponsored content)

This sponsored workshop provides a step-by-step guide to carrying out a BIM-based workflow project for the structural design and detailing of steel structures. The session will demonstrate how modern BIM tools facilitate the transition from engineering design to buildable models, improving coordination, accuracy and efficiency throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Reasons to attend:

• Unlock the full potential of steel design workflows: discover how to seamlessly integrate CYPE 3D, CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel into a powerful Open BIM workflow, taking your projects from concept to completion with ease

• Boost productivity and reduce errors: learn how to streamline design, analysis and detailing processes through advanced interoperability, improving coordination and delivering more accurate results in less time

• Stay ahead with cutting-edge BIM solutions: explore how modern BIM tools and collaborative platforms like BIMserver.center are transforming structural engineering, helping you deliver smarter, more efficient and fully buildable models 

Intended for:

• Structural engineers involved in the analysis and design of steel structures

• Steel detailers and steel structure specialists responsible for detailing and fabrication documentation

• BIM managers and BIM coordinators working on multidisciplinary projects involving structural models
