Graphisoft ArchiCAD
The best reward for the passionate architect is to see his design ideas take a physical form. In the Graphisoft® ArchiCAD® Virtual Building™ (BIM) environment, you can explore your ideas with full confidence that every detail is being captured and all your documents are synchronized. ArchiCAD Virtual Trace™ technology harmoniously integrates 2D and 3D data so you can make the most of your team’s expertise, fine-tune the technology to your most efficient workflow, and keep full control over your projects from start to finish.
Graphisoft extends the power and versatility of ArchiCAD® through key developer partner products from around the world. Learn more about our technology partners here!
Affinity from Trelligence
Trelligence™ Affinity™ software combines capabilities for architectural programming and schematic design and offers ongoing feedback about the compliance of the conceptual design with the plan. Most useful for commercial projects with complex programming needs, Affinity is an extension of BIM that offers the entire AEC and Owner/Deeloper team a platform for communicating the requirements for a building project. Affinity is available stand-alone and with bidirectional integration to Archicad. Affinity for Archicad delivers analysis of the Archicad model against the program requirements resulting in more successful and cost-effective project outcomes.

BIMWorld
BIMWorld™ provides Building Information Modeling (BIM) services to the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry. Specifically, BIMWorld seeks to partner with Building Product Manufacturers (BPMs) as well as members of the design community to create BIM compliant building products in various platforms including ArchiCAD. BIMWORLD models a BPM?s building products with technical and geometric accuracywith imbedded attribute data information within each product model. BIMLibrary then showcases the content, making it accessible free of charge to the end user BIM community providing the mechanism for product searching, selection and insertion into BIM projects.

Ecotect
ECOTECT is a complete building design and environmental analysis tool that covers the broad range of simulation and analysis functions required to truly understand how a building design will operate and perform. Have a look at the ECOTECT Features page for full details on the huge range of calculations that you can undertake or -- if you prefer to just dive in and investigate with the software -- feel free to download a fully functional trial version.

EnergyPlus
EnergyPlus™ is a next generation building energy simulation program that allows architects, engineers, building owners and managers to minimize energy use and cost. It optimizes building performance by simulating building energy usage: building heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, and other energy flows. EnergyPlus is a stand-alone simulation engine without a graphical interface.

eTabs
ETABS is software for steel and reinforced concrete structural design, stress analysis and production drawings and is highly specialized in seismic analysis. The import-export link between ArchiCAD and ETABS via IFC 2x2 for steel and reinforced concrete models allows you to export basic 3D model geometry to ETABS, do the necessary structural analysis with a structural engineer, and send the complete model back to ArchiCAD indicating any necessary changes.

NavisWorks
NavisWorks® is the developer of JetStream, the leading collaborative 3D/4D Design Review software. JetStream improves productivity and quality in the project lifecycle of Building, Plant and Marine construction. Use of JetStream has been proven to reduce waste, increase efficiency, virtually eliminate change orders and helps streamline workflow processes by enabling effective team working.

SketchUp from Google
Developed for the conceptual stages of design, SketchUp is powerful yet easy-to-learn 3D software. We think of it as the pencil of digital design. This award-winning software combines a simple, yet robust tool-set that streamlines and simplifies 3D design inside your computer. SketchUp is being used by anyone with the desire to Dream, Design and Communicate in 3D.
The integration of SketchUp with ArchiCAD lets architects and principals alike, focus on creativity at the earliest concept phase of any new project knowing that their designs can be automatically imported into ArchiCAD. This tool allows users to automatically re-use as much of the SketchUp model data in ArchiCAD as possible, without the need to manually rework it.

Tekla
Tekla Structures 11.2 by Tekla Oy, Finland, is software for steel and reinforced concrete structural design, stress analysis and production. In Tekla, the steel structure can be designed in 3D down to the last screw or bolt, checked for collisions and sent to CNC machines for production. The structural engineer can do stress analysis in a software called Staad Pro, which is a separate module integrated into Tekla Structures. Currently ArchiCAD and Tekla have a bi-directional (import-export) data exchange in xml format.

VICO
Vico Software's award-winning Virtual Construction™ software and services help owners, contractors and subcontractors win more business through the creation of compelling 5D presentations to owners, and reduce the time required to produce estimates during the bidding stage. Project predictability is improved by early identification of problems in design documents - and the synchronization of design, cost and schedule reduces errors and saves time.
