ArmaCAD ®

Concrete reinforcement detailing software

Features

  • Ability to create and recognise any type of bending. A bar viewer allows bars to be displayed in Library mode, either in 2D (to-scale) or in 3D orbital mode with zoom and 3D rotation.
  • Native AutoCAD/BricsCAD commands can be used on all ArmaCAD objects, bars and marks, transparently and instantaneously.
  • All the representations of the same bar on several views (3D, 2D and figuratives) are connected.
  • Dynamic update of bar distributions (in plan view or section) in the case of a change in formwork.
  • Associative and dynamic marking of the bars with automatic updates in the event of change of the formwork or of the distribution values.
  • ArmaCAD is capable of changing the bar diameter while updating the bending diameters and any standard hooks in accordance with EC2, BAEL, BS, ISO, ACI or custom rules, whilst retaining the initial cover.
  • Handling of special shapes such as rings, spirals, chairs, hoops and lifting bars.
  • Handling of bar layers of varying lengths, varying linearly or otherwise with automatic update in the event of a modification of the formwork.
  • Handling of couplers and threaded bars, on any type of bending, with specific metering and full settings.
  • Customisable 2D or 3D couplers.
  • Automated and configurable handling of welded mesh.
  • Automatic handling of overlaps. Complies with EuroCode 2.
  • Automatic detection of document changes between the revisions/issues with automatic indexing of the bar schedule.
  • Dynamic change in the numbering.
  • Automatic publication of the bar schedules on the drawing, in a report format, or in EXCEL in any format.
  • Compatible with manufacturing software through the BVBS exchange format.
  • Fully configurable software. All project settings are editable via a single command, with an ability to export and share project configuration for use in other projects.
  • Compatible with other 3D software through IFC exchange format.
