AMV Steelworks
First, I owe an apology to Gabriele Meluzzi from Steelworks. Gabriele, mi dispiace. I took way too long to complete this review, especially after all of your patience.
In a nutshell, this program rocks. While it took me a bit to muddle my way through, I really ended up liking it. The tutorials are pretty damn clear, especially where they’re translated from Italian. All too often, translated instructions aren’t much easier to understand than the language they were originally written in.
I was very happy with the interface, especially how it so closely resembled SolidWorks. This makes complete sense as they are a SolidWorks Certified Solution Partner. SteelWorks has built in libraries for both domestic and foreign steel standards, complete with fastening systems. It also includes a SQL engine for order management.
I don’t work in the steel industry but, from what I can tell, this is a complete program. After creating your 3D assembly, you can get all of your 2D drawings including view, sections, general arrangements and fab drawings. All of it associated with the 3D models as you’d expect.
It’s too bad I didn’t have this when I was working on that processing facility last year. I can only imagine how much easier my job might have been. If you’re working in steel construction, you’ll want to give SteelWorks a look. I think you’ll like it.
