Description

SolidSteel parametric for Autodesk® Inventor® is a 100% Inventor integrated steel design solution for the entire process chain in steel design. Profiles, sections, typical steel connections, stairs, bills of materials and manufacturing data.

 

With deep integration, countless features and ease of use, there are no limits to your creativity. SolidSteel parametric for Inventor can be used in classic steel design, but also in plant construction, mechanical engineering, jig and fixture construction and many other areas – in fact, wherever steel design is used.

 

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).

  • Powerful App
    Thoa Le | May 16, 2025

    Great plugin! Hope to see a version for Inventor 2026 soon!

    Luciano Sbarera | June 05, 2025

    I am already using it on 2026.


  • Needs to be integrated into Frame Generator
    Greg Mcleod | April 03, 2025

    I've downloaded the express version and have played with it for a few days now. My biggest issue is that the sections used are completely separate from the Inventor sections and as such the naming conventions are totally different. There is very little scope to change this, that I can see.

    It's early days but this would be a hands down winner and a massive improvement to Inventor if it was integrated into Frame Generator.


  • Installation error

    Thanks for your feedback! I fixed it, great tool.

    Lee Davies | June 05, 2025

    I'm having the same problem. I've followed the below step and contacted support. No response for over 3 hours.


  • Great tool!
    Sebastian Mayer | March 24, 2025 Verified Download (What's this?)

    A great tool! We'll buy the premium version for our next bigger project. However, I have to agree with some of the other reviews: Inventor should actually come with something like this. It's simply a great time-saver.


  • Frame generator as it should be
    Michael Guthmann | February 11, 2025 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Great solution for structural steel design - with connections, stairs, automatic drawings and everything we need in our company. SolidSteel is just as the Frame Generator should be ;) Unfortunately, the full version costs extra...


  • very good software, fast tech support
    Matt Cole | February 06, 2025 Verified Download (What's this?)

    The software works well. At the beginning I had some problems finding the American profiles in imperial units. These are mixed with the metric units. Technical support responded very quickly and told me it would be fixed in the future - so no problems here.

    The steel connections are awesome and very fast to place. BOM lists are good aswell. It's a shame that you have to buy this tool separately - it would be great if it came with Inventor, which we already use in our company. But never mind - that's just the way it is.


  • Un software eccellente
    Luciano Sbarera | February 05, 2025 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Le istruzioni video sono facili da seguire. Un'interfaccia utente in italiano sarebbe ottima. Se questo software fosse stato disponibile anni fa, avrei meno capelli bianchi!


  • Incredible time saving
    Alexander Zouboulikos | February 04, 2025 Verified Download (What's this?)

    For years I've been breaking my back and doing structural steel with Inventor and now I find this awesome tool. It's a must for anyone who does steel design with Inventor - it works absolutely great and saves an incredible amount of time. All the standard connections alone, such as end plates, gusset plates and so on. Awesome!

    I don't understand why Autodesk delivers something like the Frame Generator and not this SolidSteel tool - there are probably tens of thousands of users out there who are struggling and don't even know that this great tool exists. To Autodesk: Why? To Klietsch: Good job!


  • géniale app

    thanks autodesk


  • Powerful App, better than Advance Steel
    Christopher Watti | January 30, 2025 Verified Download (What's this?)

    I downloaded SolidSteel yesterday. The installation worked well - after some issues at the beginning I found their YouTube videos and I learned quick how the software works. Because there is a limit in the free version, I am going to purchase the full version when my next project starts. This tool is super powerful and offers so many possibilties - I think its better than Advance Steel!

  • All in all, very interesting
    Ernesto Gonzales | January 28, 2025 Verified Download (What's this?)

    I have now tested the software for five days, doing everyday tasks, and I think the developers have done a good job. The functions are useful, and there is a manual and a YouTube channel with good tutorials. The software deserves five stars, but I have taken off one star because you can only choose from English and German. It would be better if its available in Spanisch.
