AADAM SOFTECH supports the design and BIM coordination of complex steel structures, including multi-story steel buildings, industrial structures, pipe racks, equipment platforms, trusses, space frames, portal frames, long-span structures, mezzanines, canopies, and irregular structural systems. Our workflows consider gravity, wind, seismic, live, dead, thermal, equipment, and other project-specific loads, along with member strength, stability, deflection, vibration, and connection requirements.

Structural Analysis & Design Software

Our engineering workflows can integrate with industry-standard platforms such as STAAD.Pro, ETABS, SAP2000, RAM Structural System, RISA-3D, Tekla Structural Designer, Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, and SAFE, depending on project requirements. For detailed steel modeling and fabrication coordination, we can integrate with Tekla Structures, SDS/2, Autodesk Advance Steel, and Revit.

We support the exchange of structural information through commonly used formats including RVT, IFC, DWG, DXF, CIS/2, SDNF, SMLX, SAF, XLSX, and PDF, subject to the capabilities of the selected software and project requirements. This enables smoother transfer between structural analysis, BIM, detailing, fabrication, and coordination platforms. 

Our Deliverables

Our Structural Steel Design deliverables include engineering calculations, structural analysis models, design drawings, connection designs, 3D BIM models, fabrication/shop drawings, erection drawings, material take-offs, and bolt schedules. We provide coordinated deliverables in formats such as RVT, IFC, DWG, DXF, SMLX, SDNF, CIS/2, and PDF, enabling seamless integration with structural analysis, BIM, fabrication, and detailing platforms. Where required, documentation can be prepared for PE/P.Eng. review and stamping by a suitably licensed professional engineer.

Structural Design & Engineering

Engineering Review & PE/P.Eng. Stamping

Where professional sealing is required, design documents can be reviewed and sealed by a suitably licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) authorized in the applicable US state or Canadian province. 

Complex Steel Systems

We support modeling and design coordination for columns, beams, girders, bracing systems, trusses, moment frames, shear frames, crane-support structures, pipe racks, platforms, stairs, handrails, base plates, and complex steel connections.

Our workflow connects structural analysis → engineering design → 3D BIM modeling → connection detailing → fabrication drawings → erection drawings, helping maintain consistency between engineering intent and construction documentation.

Advanced Structural Analysis

We perform detailed analysis for gravity, wind, seismic, live, dead, thermal, and equipment loads, ensuring structural stability, strength, and serviceability.

Complex Steel Structure Design

We design multi-story frames, trusses, portal frames, pipe racks, platforms, long-span structures, and irregular steel systems with a focus on safety and constructability.

Connection & Member Design

We design and optimize beams, columns, bracing, girders, base plates, gusset plates, and bolted/welded connections to meet project requirements.
