Structural BIM Software

ideCAD Structural is integrated structural BIM software for structural engineers, connecting structural modeling, analytical modeling, structural analysis, code-based design, detailing, and documentation in one coordinated BIM environment.

Design reinforced-concrete and steel buildings while keeping the physical model, analytical model, analysis results, structural design, detailing, drawings, and schedules connected throughout the engineering workflow.

BIM for Structural Engineering

BIM Software in Structural Engineering Integrates Structural Engineering, Structural Analysis, Structural Design, Structural Detailing, Fabrication, and Documentation in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AEC) Industry.

Structural BIM Workflow: From Model to Analysis, Design, and Documentation

ideCAD integrates structural BIM modeling, analytical modeling, structural analysis, code-based design, detailing, and documentation in one coordinated engineering workflow. The physical structural model and its associated analytical model remain connected as the project develops, allowing structural engineers to move from modeling into analysis, design, detailing, and documentation without rebuilding the project in separate environments.

This creates a direct BIM-to-structural-analysis workflow and carries structural information forward into code-based design, drawings, schedules, and construction documentation.

1 — Model

Create the physical structural BIM model for reinforced-concrete, steel, and composite building structures. Columns, beams, slabs, walls, foundations, structural steel members, and connections define the building geometry and structural information used throughout the engineering workflow.

2 — Analytical Model

As the physical model is created and modified, ideCAD automatically generates and updates the associated structural analytical model. This connects the physical building model directly with the analytical representation required for structural analysis.

3 — Analyze

Perform structural analysis using the analytical model within the same structural BIM environment. Model geometry and structural information remain connected to the analysis workflow, reducing the need to recreate the building in a separate analysis model.

4 — Design

Use structural analysis results for code-based reinforced-concrete, structural steel, composite, and steel connection design. Engineering decisions move from analysis into member and connection design within the coordinated structural workflow.

5 — Detail & Document

Carry structural design information into concrete and steel detailing, reinforcement drawings, steel and connection details, schedules, sections, reports, and construction documentation. This keeps engineering results connected with the drawings and documents used to communicate the structural design.
