Construction aids

What is meant by Construction aids?

"Construction aids" refers to tools or functions that assist engineers, architects, and other professionals in creating and optimizing designs and constructions more efficiently.

Typical functions of software in the field of "construction aids" include:

  1. 3D Modeling: Creating three-dimensional models of components, buildings, or other objects to visualize their appearance and functionality.
  2. Parametric Design: Utilizing parametric modeling techniques to create designs that can automatically adapt to changed parameters, such as size or material.
  3. Analysis Tools: Integrating tools for structural, thermal, or other types of analyses to evaluate the performance and reliability of constructions.
  4. Collision Checking: Checking for potential collisions between different components or elements in the design to detect and resolve issues early.
  5. Visualization and Simulation: Presenting designs in various views and conducting simulations to examine behavior under different conditions.
  6. Documentation: Generating construction plans, bills of materials, and other documents required for implementing the design.
