Designing High-Value Added Metal Structures with HiCAD.

This comprehensive software must therefore be capable of at least:

- Managing standard profiles, PRS, tubes...

- Managing real sheets with complex geometries, including losses due to bends

- Integrating parametric elements with non-parametric elements if necessary

- Allowing multiple users to share and work on the same model based on the specialties of the designers, while ultimately having a single 3D model and file

- Managing multiple views simultaneously

- Managing IFC files

- Automatically generating all fabrication plans, developments, and multiple profiles and sheet metal bills of materials

- Detecting collisions

- Being associated with a PDM software to manage the project and its stakeholders more effectively

- And optionally allowing for kinematics.
