ConstruSteel vs. MatriX vs. ProtaSteel vs. RSTAB Comparison Chart

Easily generate scribing lines/layout marking on steel profiles and plates for quick & easy assembly in the workshop. Advanced bar nesting software to optimize material use (such as steel beams and flat bars) for less waste and efficient production. To reduce failure costs, improve quality and speed up production, ConstruSteel provides Advanced Scribing software for steel fabricators, steel suppliers and steel service centers. Advanced Scribing is a unique Tekla Structures plug-in for scribing steel/layout marking steel beams and plates for the structural steel industry. By adding your own defined scribing/layout marking on selected or all steel profiles in your 3D BIM model, the production data (.nc1 files) for CNC machines is updated automatically.

ProtaSteel allows structural engineers and detailers to perform automated steel connection design and produce high quality steel detail drawings in minutes. Take models designed in ProtaStructure directly into ProtaSteel and save hours with automated design of a comprehensive range of bolted and welded steel connections of your choice. Visualize and coordinate your models in 3D, add ancillary steelwork, and fully quantify and value engineer your projects. Significantly reduce design and detailing time by automatically producing high quality engineering drawings for all steelwork and connection details. Increase your design teams productivity and business project profitability. Save valuable project management time by coordinating your projects with other leading BIM platforms including Tekla Structures and Revit.
