Fabrication Information Modelling – Integrated Engineering Project Management from Design through to Site Erection! Abhilash Joseph, Regional Manager, AceCad Software India, Mumbai How can the often complex structural steelwork supply chain be organised to the benefit of all involved, enabling the necessary individual competitive advantages throughout contracting, whilst delivering complete project management facilities to the Engineering team? The answer lies in a very real and direct implementation of the long expounded BIM or Building Information Modelling concept. Many have talked about BIM and also claim full working implementation, although this author would claim that in reality we are still a long way from seeing a single model hold all the information required from the Architect to the Facilities Manager! Indeed, what many claim to have implemented is in truth simply integration between 'islands of interoperability' within areas of the chain, or more generally import/ export through a series of links. It is clear that the immediate future lies in specialised industry de facto and best of breed databases that integrate as far as possible and inter communicate across the entire supply chain.

With this in mind and as a result of unique positioning and significant knowledge of the structural steel engineering, detailing and fabrication industries, AceCad has developed a complete single source solution from engineering design through detailing, fabrication and ultimately erection. This solution, which AceCad has called Fabrication Information Modelling, has been brought about through best of breed integration of StruCad, the Worlds leading 3D structural detailing system and StruM.I.S.NET, the ultimate fabrication management system for steelwork contractors. AceCad Software is delighted to announce the global release of StruCad Version 14 in June 2008. At the heart of AceCad's Fabrication Information Modelling solution, this exciting first new StruCad release of 2008 includes significant new content across many of StruCad's key functions, including the StruCad 3D modelling environment, integrated connection design program (StruConnect), the StruCad 2D drawing viewer and the StruCad CAM/CNC output system. Model Faster and More Accurately StruCad V14 features substantially enhanced 3D modelling tools, delivering even more accurate positioning and identification of critical holes and locating bolts. Combined with a powerful new clash analysis facility, structures may be managed throughout a project in the knowledge that all access and conflict aspects are resolved to the satisfaction of the user.

With graphical user workflow based interfaces and the very latest solid modelling technology, the StruCad 3D modelling environment delivers ultimate detailing performance, rapid project detailing completion and automatic production of fabrication data.

The rasmus discography rapidshare. The Rasmus are a Finnish rock band that formed in 1994 in Helsinki while the band members were still in upper comprehensive school. The Rasmus has sold 4 million albums worldwide, 310,000 copies in their native Finland alone. They have won numerous awards, both domestic and international. The discography of the Finnish rock band The Rasmus currently consists of nine studio albums, two compilation albums and twenty-nine singles.

Integrated Connection Design. AceCad is pleased to announce the inclusion within StruCad Version 14 of additional significant connection design facilities within the StruConnect system. This integrated connection design software within StruCad, enables connections to be both designed in real time according to published standards and instantly transferred for modelling within StruCad. New simple connection design macros incorporated within StruCad V14 also enable users to streamline their detailing processes and may be used in varying modes to facilitate manual connection design, full design checking and 'look up' facilities with published standards. These engineering applications further aid links across the design phase of a typical structural steelwork project, integrating job functions and delivering streamlined Fabrication Information Modelling.

Ultimate Fabrication Output StruCad V14 also boasts significant new functionality in terms of output. Whilst increased modelling speed and accuracy, coupled with new design tools and greater integration facilities are all vital; output is ultimately the key element of all CAD systems. StruCad has always delivered class leading accurate automatic drawing output, dramatically reducing total project detailing time.
