Acknowledgment of third-party providers

In this chapter you will receive an overview of the external technologies and partners that contribute to the performance of SuCri. The following sections are divided into the areas of platform provision by Autodesk®, the integration of component libraries from well-known manufacturers, the use of open source technologies as well as supplementary database and export tools.

1. Autodesk®

• AutoCAD®, Plant 3D™ and Advance Steel™ form the base platforms for SuCri.
• Thanks to the official bundle interface, SuCri can be integrated seamlessly.
• The PnP databases of Autodesk enable the extension with pipe classes, profiles and custom content.

2. Manufacturers of component libraries

• Hilti, Sikla, Bernecker and other providers make product catalogs available that can be integrated into SuCri.
• This manufacturer-based data guarantees practical planning and a high quality of the bills of materials.

3. Open source community

• Use of standardized .NET Framework libraries for interfaces, database access and automation.
• Thanks to the open source developer community, established technologies can be integrated into SuCri and extended.

4. Further tools and libraries

• Microsoft SQL / SQLite – database systems for performance and consistency in Module 3.
• CSV/XLSX interfaces – for exporting bills of materials and reports into common Office formats.

Note: All brand and product names are the property of the respective companies. They serve exclusively for identification and to describe the integration into SuCri.
