Fastrak Building Designer Explained
Integration
Fastrak Building Designer will integrate with a wide range of packages including our standalone design software for beams, columns and portal frame, our advanced analysis package S-Frame, as well as other 3D modelling systems such as Revit Structure. Fastrak also integrates with a number of third party applications.
- Building Designer can export and import Autodesk Revit Structure models allowing 'round tripping' of geometrical data between the two, merging changes and control of revisions.Click here for further details on Building Designer and Revit Structure Integration and to download the integration add-on.
- Building Designer can export a complete S-Frame model allowing the full use of S-Frame's advanced analysis facilities, including FE and vibration of seismic analysis on a structure.
- Building Designer can also import/export the following industry standard formats - SNDF (steel detailing, neutral files), CIS/2.0 and DXF.
- Building Designer has the ability to export a KISS file for direct import into FabTrol MRP estimating system.
- Building Designer fully integrates with the elemental beam and column tools also available in the suite.
- By integrating CSC's connection design suite the designer can automatically assess the whole building on the design of connections for tying forces, required to consider disproportionate building collapse.
- Building Designer now supports the 'round tripping' of portal frame designs with the Fastrak Portal Frame design software.
