Which software is best for structural design in Prefab Buildings?

At a time when the construction industry is in the severe grip of the global slowdown, Pre- Engineered Building (PEB) industry is expecting a fast-paced largely through excellent project execution skills and strictly adhering to the contractual payment timelines. The complete designing and detailing process is carried out using sophisticated software like AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, MS Project, Revit/3D Max, Tekla X-Steel, etc. The designs are matching to the Indian and international standards. 

PEB finds its strength in its innovative design process. This process derives its strength from optimization by which metal is deployed to its required extent exactly matched to the loads that are incident on that element. At MDIPL, we do follow the latest Codes featuring the best grades of steel. Our Design team is well equipped with trained and experienced design engineers along with design drafting facilities like AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, Revit software, and special Customised software.

AutoCAD

It is one of the basic software by Autodesk, which is used for drafting, documentation of the construction projects. One can notice this software used in almost all structural design consultancies and firms all over the world. AUTOCAD 3D version is also available for 3D use.

STAAD Pro

Staadpro is the structural engineering professional’s choice for steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and cold-formed steel design of virtually any structure including culverts, petrochemical plants, tunnels, bridges, piles, and much more through its flexible modeling environment, advanced features, and fluent data collaboration.

Revit software/3D Max 

3D Max-It is used in civil engineering but it is mostly used in architecture or interior design. 

Revit is a new coming software in the market which is specifically designed for civil engineering. It gives 2D or 3D views alternatively. It has more features than 3D max. Revit software is specifically built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), empowering design and construction professionals to bring ideas from concept to construction with a coordinated and consistent model-based approach. It includes the functionality of all of the Revit disciplines (architecture, MEP, and structure) in one unified interface.
