Before Advance Steel became the standard, ASD 2015 allowed you to insert shop-welded and field-bolted connections. You could select a beam and column, choose a connection type (shear tab, end plate, moment connection), and the software would automatically draw the stiffeners, bolts, and welds. It wasn't fully parametric like Revit, but it was fast .
It is impossible to talk about ASD 2015 without addressing the elephant in the room: it was one of the last major iterations of the software.
Unlike generic CAD software, ACSD 2015 was purpose-built for two primary materials: reinforced concrete and structural steel. For concrete detailers, the software offered robust tools for bar bending schedules, rebar placement, and formwork drawings. Its parametric rebar module allowed users to model complex reinforcement shapes (from simple stirrups to intricate 3D cages) with automatic compliance to standards like ACI, BS, or Eurocodes. For steel detailers, ACSD 2015 facilitated the creation of connection details, bolt patterns, and weld symbols, enabling the generation of shop drawings that a fabricator could use directly on the cutting floor.
Here’s a detailed feature overview of , focused on its capabilities for structural engineers, detailers, and fabricators.
