and facility managers

� Depending on the project phase or type, users can switch back and forth between 2D drafting, 3D design or even use an intelligent building modelas they wish

� Seamless data exchange with more than 50 formats supported, including the standard formats PDF and IFC, as well as DWG, DXF and DGN

Allplan solutionsAllplan Architecture

� Supports architects and planners from the presentation and submission of the draft idea to the working drawing, detailed planning and construction cost planning.

� Integrated system for design, layout and visualization .

� Use of the 3D model across all phases of a building's life cycle – from the architecture, engineering, timber construction, cost management to building services and facility management.

Allplan solutionsAllplan Engineering

� CAD solution for structural concrete design . It enables efficient creation of key plans, general arrangement and reinforcement drawings . Together with Scia Engineer it provides an integrated solution for CAD and structural analysis from a single source.

� End-to-end working from the architectural design to the reinforcement drawings.

� Comprehensive palette of layout and design tools : formwork 2D and 3D – reinforcementwith bars & meshes 2D and 3D – generating bending list – localised for many codes

2727

� Also applications for prefabrication , timber, earthworks (DTM), building services, facility management.

� Reinforcement Design and Detailing in 3D

� ceiling views, elevations, sections, quantities and bending schedules are derived from an intelligent building model

� collisions and other issues can be detected during the design process

� modifications of building objects and reinforcement are automatically and consistently updated in all drawings and schedules

Allplan solutionsComparison of productivity 2D versus 3D

� Traditional Approach

28


� ceiling views, elevations and sections are manually produced and completely independent from each other

� bending schedule is managed manually � risk of inconsistent design documents, especially if

modifications occur

� Benefits

� considerable time savings through optimized work processes

� clear and consistent design documents� improved comfort

� Free, interactive Reinforcement Design and Detailin g in 3D

� software philosophy perfectly suitable for highly individual construction projects

� unique automatic formwork finder technology (FF reinforcement)

� predefined reinforcement groups (FF components)

� reinforcement can be adapted by grips

� enormous efficiency and flexibility compared with other solutions

Individually shaped

Allplan solutionsReinforcement design and detailing in 3D

29


� time-consuming definition of bar shape and manual placement

� Benefits

� from the beginning on high productivity, even for individually shaped members

� working consequently in 3D ensures high quality standards by avoiding inconsistencies, collisions and other design faults

Individually shaped

members can be

reinforced rapidly

� geometrically challenging situation between existing buildings

� to save space, slabs of the parking level are sloped and a load-bearing façade is used

“Using Allplan helped to reduce the amount of errors. Some details were provided as 3D PDF documents to the construction site. It was extremely helpful to automatically produce the bending schedules.”

� hybrid approach in standard situations with 2D formwork/3D reinforcement, full 3D design and visualizations at complex points

“Despite standardization, about 120 blocks plans and more than 1.000 plans have been produced. This is a huge amount of data, but Allplan dealt with it effortlessly.”

36

� beams on top of pillars are precast and pre-stressed elements with CFRP edges

� pillar shapes have been modeled with Allplan’sBridge and Civil Engineering modeler, then exported to mechanical engineering software SolidEdge for CNC formwork production

“The rebar supplier was extremely pleased with the supplied bending schedules, which can be generated with Allplan almost automatically.”
