ASi-Profile
Encyclopedia
ASi-Profile is a 3D-CAD add-on application for Autodesk
Inventor
developed by the German company ITB Paul Schneider.
CAD software Autodesk Inventor
, which is usually used for mechanical construction in mechanical engineering
and plant engineering. ASi-Profile enables the user to create supporting structures, substructures, control- and maintenance platforms, stairways, barriers, etc. which are typical elements in the constructional steelwork area.
usually lack of functions to create steel constructions. As an add-on application, the software tries to fill the gap between mechanical engineering
and constructional steelworking, enabling the designer, for example, to create a supporting frame for a machine or the required maintenance platform in the same software.
. ASi-Profile is used to simplify the construction process and to create realistic views of the structures.
