bocad is a detailing software for structural engineering that has set standards in steel construction since 1983. Through depth of detail and error-free processes, it has opened up new fabrication possibilities in construction. The 40th anniversary of bocad highlights an extraordinary success story based on commitment to perfection, innovation, and customer orientation. The acquisition by SCHULLER & Company in 2022 has led to a surge of innovation in BIM capability and expansion globally.

From conceptual design to detailed design, fabrication and construction, bocad enables collaboration and a complete BIM workflow for sustainable projects in industrial, power, mining, oil and gas, infrastructure, commercial, architectural and residential projects. It assists in handling structural multi-materials such as steel, cladding, timber, glazing and concrete and mechanical plateworks in an innovative manner.

bocad also includes a wide range of standards and libraries enabling quick and easy 3D modelling with latest technology and an intuitive user interface for any kind of structures interactively (cutting profiles and plates, welding and bolting) and/or automatically with rules based parametric connections which can be easily customised.

Automatic piece marking/numbering with 3d model revision control and history traceability.

bocad has a unique link between 3D models and drawings. Drawings and 3D models are one which is easing multiple changes in design. Basically, your drawings are created parallel to your 3D model and once you have finished your 3d model your drawings are finished as well.

It enables building very complex structural geometries. bocad ensures consistent data and a loss-free process in accordance with all stages of engineering work, leading to error-free construction for all stakeholders in a BIM project.

The SCHULLER & Company Team comprises a mix of experienced and young developers, along with structural engineers specialised in steel, sheet metal, glass, concrete, and timber. Development engineers collaborate directly with customers to implement customer-specific adaptations. The support team is accessible to quickly and effectively solve problems. Global offices and partners ensure the best support for customers.

SCHULLER & Company offers training and certificate courses online and on-demand for professionals and students, enabling them to harness the full potential of bocad to meet today’s complex and technology-driven work environments.

bocad is used by renowned companies worldwide, with over 100,000 projects delivered, including spectacular buildings like the Ferrari Arena in Abu Dhabi, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Aspire Tower in Doha, the City of Dreams in Macau, the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, the Canary Wharf Station in London, The Oculus shopping centre in New York, Saloma Bridge in Kuala Lumpur, and the new Sydney Fish Market.
