AMV SteelWorks

I’m going to end up having to do a couple of posts on AMV SteelWorks. There’s just a lot to cover on this particular SolidWorks Solution Partner’s software. Frankly, I’m quite excited to be trying out this particular product. After having gone through trying to create a steel-based structure last summer, I’m already wishing we’d had something like SteelWorks.

First, SteelWorks is a direct add-in for SolidWorks. No secondary programs, no import/export, nada. It gets its own tab on the the CommandManager and everything.

Thankfully, it does come with an awesome tutorial. It may be that I’m not well-versed in steel construction, but knowing where to start didn’t come naturally for me. However, by following the detailed instructions, I’ve been able to keep my assembly looking like the one in the tutorial.

I’m still only on the first chapter, but I’m hoping that someone who deals with steel construction reads this and gets in touch. I have some questions I’d like to ask. In the mean time, I’ll be continuing on through the rest of the tutorial. Stay tuned!
