A fluid design process using BIM technology
With 25 years experience in structural analysis and design, GRAITEC has a complete suite of analysis and design software, which allows construction engineers to rapidly and efficiently dimension their works.To continue to provide a fluid design process, GRAITEC provides bidirectional integration with Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk Revit Structure.
This integration allows Revit users to more rapidly get an optimized design of their projects and to produce all fabrication drawings. This integration also reduces the risk of potential errors when changes occur.
The interface with Autodesk Revit Structure and Autodesk Revit Architecture is made possible because GRAITEC products are fully BIM oriented. GRAITEC implemented its BIM technology so each real object has a virtual counterpart with accurate associated properties and behavior. Using BIM, GRAITEC provides an optimal solution for accelerated creation of the structural analysis model and automatic creation of drawings, bill of materials and lists. This BIM technology increases general productivity and reduces errors during the entire design to construction process.

Structural Analysis integrated from the design stage!
Import the 3D model from Autodesk Revit Structure (or Autodesk Revit Architecture) to the desired Graitec Structural Analysis product (see below for more details). Then complete the model, especially with regards to design codes and assumptions, run a structural analysis and design process to optimize the structure, and synchronize back the changes in your Revit Structure model! The following elements are implemented:
- Structural elements (columns, beams, wall, slabs)
- Custom families containing an analytical model
- Supports
- Loads

Advance Design was specifically developed for industry professionals that require a superior solution for the structural analysis and design of Reinforced Concrete, Steel and Timber structures.
Advance Design features include easy modeling, a powerful FEM analysis engine, top-level design wizards, automated post-processing of results and automated reports.
Two versions of Advance Design are available:Advance Design Europe (Eurocodes, French codes)
Advance Design America / based on the Visual Design technology (American and Canadian codes)
Advance Design features include easy modeling, a powerful FEM analysis engine, top-level design wizards, automated post-processing of results and automated reports.
Two versions of Advance Design are available:
Launched in 1993, Arche is the French reference for reinforced concrete building design.
From a 3D model made of slabs, beams, columns, walls and foundations, Arche analyzes the overall construction stability and automatically creates all reinforcement drawings. Arche is available for Eurocodes and French codes.
Arche is sold by GRAITEC France.

From design to production with the GRAITEC Advance suite!
The Graitec Advance suite consists of Advance Design, Advance Steel and Advance Concrete. This global concept allows users to deal with structural 3D modeling, structural design and detailing without having to re-input data.
- Steel Detailing
- Concrete Detailing
Import the 3D model from Revit to Advance Steel, add joints, and create your general arrangement drawings, workshop drawings and NC files!
Import the 3D model from Revit to Advance Concrete and use its advanced rebar features for automating the creation of all your reinforcement drawings.
How does it work?
- First, make sure you have already installed Autodesk Revit Architecture or Autodesk Revit Structure.
- Then download GRAITEC BIM Connect from this webpage and follow the installation steps.
- In Revit, 4 menu options will be available:
1. External Tools / GRAITEC Export
2. External Tools / GRAITEC Synchronize
3. External Tools / GRAITEC Import
4. External Tools / GTC settings…
2. External Tools / GRAITEC Synchronize
3. External Tools / GRAITEC Import
4. External Tools / GTC settings…

The integration is based on the GRAITEC BIM technology. With this BIM approach, all the models created with GRAITEC software can be imported, exported and synchronized, limiting data loss and the need to re-input data. For more information, see the GRAITEC BIM info page.
Examples

Example 1:
Load distribution calculation for a building
modeled in Autodesk Revit Structure.

Example 2:
Drawing creation for a steel structure modeled
in Autodesk Revit Structure.
