Model Studio CS Structural Design

The software is intended for architects, structural designers, and engineers at design organizations. It allows users to create a building information model, verify structural solutions, transfer geometry to analysis software, and generate documentation from a unified model.

The current version is Model Studio CS 3.0. Service Pack 2, build 7680, was released in October 2026.

3D Structural Design

The model is created using parametric objects from the built-in library. Engineers place walls, columns, beams, floor slabs, foundations, stairs, steel components, and reinforced concrete elements. Each object contains geometry and technical properties.

• Create architectural and structural components.
• Design steel frames and connection details.
• Model cast-in-place and precast concrete elements.
• Create stairs, platforms, and enclosure structures.
• Use standard and custom parametric components.

For steel structures, a frame generator and connection design tools are available. Connections can be assembled from plates, bolts, and welded components, or created using predefined parametric solutions.

Structural Verification and Analysis

Model Studio CS supports transferring 3D models to ЛИРА-САПР, ЛИРА, and SCAD Office analysis software. This allows structural component geometry to be used when preparing an analytical model.

The software includes checks for structural intersections and violations of permissible clearances. When working with a combined model, users can verify coordination between structural components and utility networks.

Geological data from specialized software, including CREDO, can be used to model soil layers, excavations, and trenches. The geological model can generate profiles and earthwork schedules broken down by soil type.

Automated Documentation Generation

The software generates plans, elevations, views, sections, and connection details from the 3D model. Drawings remain linked to the model and can be updated when structural design decisions change.

• Drawings for АР, АС, КМ, and КЖ project sections.
• Steel structure specifications.
• Steel consumption and component schedules.
• Construction work quantity schedules.
• Connection and detail drawings.

Documentation templates can be adapted to the design organization's standards. Tabular documents are created using nanoCAD and Microsoft Office.

Compatibility and Collaboration

The software runs on the nanoCAD Platform 24.1–26.0 with the 3D module. Supported operating systems include Windows 10/11 (64-bit), Astra Linux SE 1.7, РЕД ОС 8.0, Alt Linux 10, and Ubuntu 22 or later.

Models can be published in CADLib Модель и Архив for discipline coordination and clash detection. When reconstructing existing facilities, integration with nanoCAD Облака точек tools is supported.
