Autodesk Advance Steel: Optimierung von Stahlbauprojekten durch Integration von 3D-Punktwolken
In der Welt des konstruktiven Ingenieurwesens und Stahlbaus ist die Fähigkeit, präzise und effektiv mit bestehenden Strukturen zu arbeiten, von entscheidender Bedeutung. Autodesk Advance Steel ist eine spezialisierte Softwarelösung für Stahlbaukonstruktionen und -detaillierungen, die entworfen wurde, um die Produktivität zu steigern und zugleich die Genauigkeit zu verbessern. Ein besonderer Vorteil von Advance Steel ist die Integration von 3D-Punktwolken, die für die Planung, Visualisierung und Überprüfung von Projekten anhand von tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten am Bauort von großer Bedeutung sind.

Today, 3D point clouds are increasingly being generated from data from high-precision laser scanners. Devices like the Faro Focus Premium are known for their ability to create extremely detailed scans of structures and construction sites—a goldmine for precise measurements and realism. The resulting data from these scanners is often in proprietary formats and must be converted into common formats for further use.
This is where software solutions like FARO Scene come in. They are specifically designed to import, process, and prepare the raw data generated by laser scanners for final use. A key feature is the creation of RCP and RCS files, which save the point cloud data in a format readable by Autodesk software products, including Advance Steel.

The interaction between Autodesk Advance Steel and 3D point clouds begins with the import of RCP or RCS files. These files serve as containers or references for the point cloud data, allowing Advance Steel users to use virtual representations of real-world conditions in their familiar work environment. This integration is revolutionary for several reasons:
1.Precise modeling: Designers can model their steel structures directly over the scanned information, increasing accuracy and reducing misfits.
2.As-built analysis: For renovation or expansion projects, point clouds provide a clear insight into the current conditions and thus a seamless integration of new construction elements into the existing environment.
3.Clash detection: Using point clouds, designers can identify in advance whether there will be conflicts with existing structures, which helps avoid costly changes on site.
4.Documentation: Working with point clouds provides an additional level of documentation that can be useful for long-term archiving of project information.

The integration of point clouds into Autodesk Advance Steel makes using advanced and accurate 3D data to optimize steel construction projects more accessible and user-friendly. Working with data directly from laser scanners like the Faro Focus Premium and processed using software like FARO Scene, professionals have the technological support they need to complete projects of any size and complexity with high confidence in the accuracy of their models. Advance Steel demonstrates once again how digital transformation in construction is changing the way structures are designed, developed, and built.
