ArchiCAD, an integrated drawing and modeling environment.Īrchicad Software.

Archicad was created by StructuralDESIGN and is the new structural. 18-20th April GRAPHISOFT held its International Partner Conference in Budapest.Eptar Reinforcement For Archi Cad 16 CracklĪctive in the BIM arena since 2010, Eptar Software is the world leader of structural reinforcement. The team of eptar was there on the three day event and we presented the 1.2 version of our Reinforcement solution with great success. The Reinforcement solution was created to make sure that architects and civil engineers can work together in ArchiCAD on the same BIM model. This Add-On enables ArchiCAD users to be able to draw their reinforcement plans for their building.ĪrchiCAD is considered to be a drawing and modeling program for architects only. We believe (and work on it) that ArchiCAD can be made capable of handling not only architects' but other designers' preferences as well. The Reinforcement solution was developed to make sure that architects and civil engineers can work together in ArchiCAD on the same BIM model. We were mainly thinking about medium size architectural firms, while developing the solution, where architectural and structural planning goes hand in hand, but could be useful for anyone who has to draw and model reinforcing of buildings. Our aim was to build a cheap and easy-to-use tool, which can help with this problem and complement ArchiCAD with this feature.

The basic working method of Reinforcement is not complicated. The solution consists of two parts: an object library and an Add-On.ĪrchiCAD users are already used to it, that the elements and objects can be defined by giving their parameters in the setting window. Elements of the Reinforcement solution are no exceptions. Individual elements as rebars, meshes, stirrups can be found in the Objects category and be set and placed as any regular ArchiCAD object.
