In response to these trends, we\u2019re announcing two new suites that combine comprehensive tools to support BIM workflows for structural and MEP design, detailing, fabrication, and construction. <a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"\/app\/uploads\/autodesk\/6a017c3334c51a970b01b7c7e88ee7970b-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a017c3334c51a970b01b7c7e88ee7970b img-responsive\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\" title=\"Structural-fabrication-suite-2016-badge-1024px\" src=\"\/app\/uploads\/autodesk\/6a017c3334c51a970b01b7c7e88ee7970b-320wi\" alt=\"Structural-fabrication-suite-2016-badge-1024px\" \/><\/a> The new Autodesk Structural Fabrication Suite provides structural engineers, steel detailers, and fabricators with tools to help streamline the process from design to fabrication with model-based deliverables. The new Autodesk MEP Fabrication Suite provides MEP contractors, detailers, estimators and fabricators with tools to generate better estimates, create more accurate detailed models, and directly drive MEP fabrication while transitioning to a tailored BIM solution. The Autodesk Structural Fabrication Suite, which includes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/advance-steel\/overview\" target=\"_blank\">Autodesk Advance Steel 2016<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/autocad\/overview\" target=\"_blank\">AutoCAD 2016<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/revit-family\/overview\" target=\"_blank\">Autodesk Revit 2016<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/navisworks\/features\/all\/gallery-view\" target=\"_blank\">Navisworks Simulate 2016<\/a>, offers tools to better connect structural design to detailing by allowing you to work more collaboratively within a BIM environment. Revit, AutoCAD, and Advance Steel together can help users streamline the detailing process by integrating steel detailing expertise alongside the design.\u00a0 Advance Steel\u2019s model based environment helps users produce accurate detailed drawings faster, helping to speed time to fabrication. The inclusion of Navisworks Simulate helps extend fabrication to the field by supporting estimation, coordination, and 4D simulation of steel projects. Models can be easily shared and viewed with contractors, improving coordination and reducing waste. The Structural Fabrication Suite is available for an annual desktop subscription price of $3,500.\u00a0 For more availability and product information, including languages supported, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/advance-steel\/buy\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"\/app\/uploads\/autodesk\/6a017c3334c51a970b01b8d17263b6970c-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a017c3334c51a970b01b8d17263b6970c img-responsive\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\" title=\"Mep-fabrication-suite-2016-badge-1024px\" src=\"\/app\/uploads\/autodesk\/6a017c3334c51a970b01b8d17263b6970c-320wi\" alt=\"Mep-fabrication-suite-2016-badge-1024px\" \/><\/a> The MEP Fabrication Suite is a portfolio of interoperable 3D construction software that enables MEP contractors, detailers, estimators and fabricators to move to BIM based workflows at a lower cost of entry.\u00a0 The Suite offers tools to streamline your detailing and fabrication workflows, including the latest versions of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fabrication-products\/features\/fabrication-cadmep\/all\/list-view\" target=\"_blank\">CADmep<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fabrication-products\/features\/fabrication-estmep\/all\/gallery-view\" target=\"_blank\">ESTmep<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fabrication-products\/features\/fabrication-camduct\/all\/gallery-view\" target=\"_blank\">CAMduct<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/autocad\/overview\" target=\"_blank\">AutoCAD 2016<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/revit-family\/overview\" target=\"_blank\">Autodesk Revit 2016<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/point-layout\/overview\" target=\"_blank\">Point Layout<\/a>.\u00a0 Combined, these tools offer fabrication products that generate better estimates, create more accurate detailed models, and directly drive MEP fabrication.\u00a0 The Suite can also help you achieve better outcomes with advanced coordination, 5D analysis, and simulation tools that can be used throughout the project lifecycle while bringing model accuracy to the field more efficiently.
