MWF Advanced Metal - StrucSoft Solutions

MWF Pro Advanced Metal Plug-in

MWF Advanced Metal is the full cold-formed steel framing package for Revit, building on MWF Pro Metal’s capabilities by allowing engineers and estimators to engineer and determine optimal elements for your project. Take advantage of a finite element analysis engine and the limitless number of configurations you can expect from MWF and export your entire project to a variety of different CNC machines.
Model

With an almost infinite number of framing configurations possible, user defined templates make wall framing automatic and fully parametric changes are made across all views and sheets. MWF Advanced Metal uses user defined criteria to automate framing of all walls, floors, ceilings and trusses within minutes.
Coordinate

Detect clashes between critical framing, thousands of structural beams and MEP intersections. These opening conditions are automatically generated and framed according to user defined criteria.
Engineer

MWF Advanced Metal’s truss engineering interface supports both AISI-2012 and ASCE 7-10 codes. Virtually any truss shape is supported either through automatic detection of the Revit roof profile or by manual features allowing the user to manually draft truss profiles. Inline, back-to-back and wall truss configurations are all supported, making design versatile and free of constraint.

User Defined
Templates

Create 3D framing, 2D drawings and material lists in seconds. An infinite number of framing configurations is possible.

Truss
Functionality

MWF Advanced Metal recognizes nearly all Revit roof profiles and automatically lays
out full truss systems.

New Truss
Designer

Optimize member selection and automatically generate engineered reports and detailed production drawings.

Detect
Openings

Quickly detect Revit openings and apply framing rules model wide.

Complete
Floor Systems

Apply revit loads and complete floor analysis for you member type of allow MWF Advanced Metal to suggest optimal member sizes based on load conditions and LRFD, ASD (USA) or LSD (Canada) codes.

Engineer

Oddball trusses can be designed freehand using model lines and then designed and engineered for you in your final Revit model.

"We have worked with StrucSoft Solutions on several occasions and every time I have been extremely impressed with their willingness to understand and support our project needs and goals. One of our prefabricated metal panel projects could not have been designed or built as efficiently without MWF. We even used the model to help plan how to ship the panels from our warehouse to the jobsite which was very effective."

At Swindale Associates Ltd we use Strucsoft's MWF Pro Metal software with Autodesk Revit to produce light gauge steel panels and structures in a BIM environment. MWF is vital to our business, it enables us to be highly productive and efficient, and adds the functionality to Revit we need to achieve the results for our success. The software has enabled us to produce highly complex steel framing solutions, from concept through to designs, drawings and Building Information Models.

In the UHS Temecula Hospital, DPR increased field productivity by 22% over traditional methods, and reduced framing re-work to 2% per floor by utilizing BIM framing with MWF and Revit.
