During a webinar presented by Solidxperts with guest speaker Sebastian Klietsch, CEO of Klietsch, several enhancements were unveiled for SolidSteel parametric 8.1<\/strong>, DSTV Assistant 6.1<\/strong>, AluFrame Assistant 6.1<\/strong>, and LOGIKAL Interface 2.1<\/strong>. The updates include more automation, more flexible data management, and workflows that are better integrated with SOLIDWORKS.<\/p>\n

Here is an overview of the most useful new features for design and manufacturing teams.<\/p>\n

SolidSteel parametric 8.1: More automation for structural steel design<\/h2>\n

SolidSteel parametric is a parametric design solution for steel structures in SOLIDWORKS. The latest version introduces several enhancements focused on productivity, standardization, and data reliability.<\/p>\n

Saved settings for end plates<\/h3>\n

The parameters defined when creating an end plate can now be saved. This allows users to quickly reuse their preferred configurations when creating similar connections.<\/p>\n

This enhancement reduces repetitive steps and helps standardize design methods across a team.<\/p>\n

A bill of materials without creating drawings first<\/h3>\n

With its SQL database, SolidSteel parametric centralizes the information associated with the components of a structure. Users can now export a bill of materials directly, including:<\/p>\n
