Advance Design Overview

Advance Design, FEM/FEA structural analysis software is a mature and easy-to-use solution dedicated to structural engineers operating in a BIM environment. It designs any type of structure with any kind of loads, mixing concrete, timber and steel members. It includes major code standards (Eurocodes / North American). 

Advance Design empowers structural engineers with powerful Finite Element Analysis software to manage projects more efficiently, ensuring safety and cost-effectiveness.

  • The best in class BIM workflow within and outside of Autodesk ecosystem
  • Quick onboarding, top-notch support, and prompt responsiveness.
  • Intuitive user-centric Interface
  • Handles multiple elements in a single platform (steel, concrete, timber, masonry)
  • Two yearly releases and exclusive language-specific training

 

5 key benefits of structural analysis solution Advance Design

  • Advanced steel design tools
    Advance Design offers a wide range of tools and advanced steel design capabilities: From automatic climatic generator to cold-formed sections and considering 7 DOF including connection design.
  • Empower your concrete design with Advance Design
    The all-in-one Finite Element Analysis solution for concrete structures performing all necessary checks and providing detailed reports for the results, as well as automated execution drawings for rebar.
  • Automation of routine in modelling and design tasks
    Save time with automatic climatic load generator and increase productivity with structural generators. Find the best steel, concrete and timber sections in a few clicks using the optimization tool.
  • Advanced and user friendly model management
    Model and modify your structure without worries about changes. Streamline model management through the model browser and common properties dialog.
  • Sustainable design
    Optimize timber structures, estimate CO2 emissions, and enhance solar structure design for sustainable building solutions

ConstructAI

ConstructAI automates one of construction's biggest bottlenecks: turning 2D structural drawings into fabrication-ready BIM models. We upload your PDF drawings, and our agentic AI reads, classifies, and rebuilds every wall, beam, and rebar detail into a native Revit model at LOD 350—material takeoffs included free. What normally takes 3–6 weeks of manual detailing gets compressed into 1–2 days, cutting modeling time by up to 77%. We're already working with structural teams at Fortune 500 builders and global GCs.
