GRAITEC STEEL
AIBIMSteel detailing and fabrication automation inside Advance Steel and Inventor
What is GRAITEC STEEL?
Add-on for Autodesk Advance Steel and Autodesk Inventor that automates steel detailing and fabrication work, including parametric connection editing, stairs, railings and ladders, batch drawing production, bill of materials generation, and fabrication-ready exports, for detailers and fabricators working inside the CAD environment they already use
Vendor submission September 2026 from Isabella Georgescu at GRAITEC. The vendor describes natural-language model filtering and AI skills for bill of materials generation in Advance Steel; AEC Hub has not tested those.
Key strengths
- Edits parameters across many connections at once and adds asymmetric and staggered patterns
- automates straight, balanced, and cage stairs plus standard, wall-mounted, key clamp, and ball post railings
- batch plots drawings with filtering and automatic grid annotation
- exports models to STEP, IGES, and ACIS for fabrication
- includes structure generators for portals, purlins, and transmission towers
Common use cases
Limitations to know
Runs only inside Autodesk Advance Steel or Autodesk Inventor 2026 and 2027, so it needs those licenses. Scope is steel detailing and fabrication, not analysis or general BIM coordination. Pricing is by quote.
