StruMIS launches latest software enhancements

StruMIS has announced the release of BIMReview 8, which features enhancements and fixes for the Autodesk Advance Steel detailing package.

According to the company, chief among these enhancements is the ability to export steelwork assemblies. These assemblies are generated within the advance steel model and can then be exported as part of the Advance Steel output file, and opened inside BIMReview.

BIMReview 8 is also said to possess the ability to open smlx files directly, which have been generated from within Autodesk Advance Steel 2016.

StruMIS has also announced the release of a series of enhancements to the Tekla plug-in for use in conjunction with BIMReview and StruMIS.

The enhancements include:

• Split bolts into individual components.
  This is a selectable option within the Tekla plug-in that allows users to separate bolts, nuts and washers into separate items. This creates separate selectable pieces of geometry within the created BIMReview model, and also more comprehensive detail when importing into StruMIS.
• Inch mark in profile names recognition.
  When employing the “Show Inch Mark in Profile Names” option within Tekla, the change to profile names which occurs as a result of using this option will be reflected within any subsequently run BIMReview models.
