Hi neonikau,
the difference is in the main application, the Advance Steel is AutoCAD based and the ASi profiles are used with Inventor. Besides the frame generator it is the only steel construction application for Inventor and contains more steel construction typical elements, which makes the work much faster. For example, plate connections can be inserted with screw connections and the profiles are shortened accordingly. Then there are cross bracings, flag plates, ribs, stairs and railings, etc.. In addition to the output of BOM and saw lists, there is also the option of outputting data to numeric control (DSTV interface) and to BIM (IFC interface). The old website is unfortunately no longer available, but you will find information about the product at asi-profile.de. There is a trial version, single-user, multi-user and network licences available for purchase and subscription. The current and five previous versions of Inventor are supported. There is also a new product MuM steelwork (Inventor-OEM). Both software is offered in German and English and is used in the countries: Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, England/UK, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mexico, New Zeeland, Netherland, Norway, Austria, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, South Africa, U.S.A.
