Synchronization of an Advance Steel model with Advance DesignAn Advance Steel model can be synchronized with the GRAITEC Advance Design analysis software.
This gives users the ability to make as many changes as they want. They can then synchronize their model with the result of the analysis without losing any adjustments (e.g., add, modification, delete) that they made.
This is done with the unique Graitec Transfer Center (GTC), which prompts the user to accept (or reject) the new modifications made to their open model.
