For the construction of the iconic Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary in 2013, KÖZTI took the next step towards digital design with open BIM software solutions, including Allplan.
You can clearly see the color scheme change and indicate the areas to be looked after for additional reinforcement.Īctually using the calculation info while modelling reinforcement saves a lot of time, material and costs.KÖZTI Architects & Engineers is one of the oldest design firms in Hungary yet has been using digital solutions since the mid-1990s. The isobands take this actual reinforcement into account and will be updated.Īs an example we add a base layer of meshes (Q257 = Ø7/Ø7/150/150 mm).
The practical reinforcement which is added to the model in Allplan will be matched with the required amount of reinforcement. These values wan be displayed and will provide direct feedback for the modeller when designing practical reinforcement. Let's store the Scia Engineer isobands for theoretical reinforcement as ASF-files and import them in our Allplan model. The calculated theoretical reinforcement is one of those. It's up to the Allplan modeller to make sure all the required changes are introduced in his model, ensuring all the construction details remain valid.īut we can use some of the calculation results directly in Allplan. We can compare the original model with the revised model in Solibri Model Checker and produce a brief report of all the modifications to be processed.
#Allplan engineering how to#
How to deal with geometrical changes is already discussed in the Scia Engineer & Tekla use case. The software will then take care of the distribution of the surface loads on these panels and apply them onto the proper supporting beams.įollowing images represent the deformations and internal forces in the structure for load case 2 (service load) We can however transfer the load in the floor to the frame structure by means of load panels. It does not make much sense to convert them into beam-like entities. The flooring elements are probably designed based upon their most critical area in the slab. Next step is aligning the nodes by means of the BIM Toolbox You can do some additional layering to facilitate the works, but that's strictly personal taste.įirst we have a look at the frame structure and convert it into analysis objects We convert all elements, except for the foundation blocks, into analysis objects. Converting into analysis objects and aligning the structure are however tasks which are always required to ensure proper structural analysis. Precast objects are based on 3D solids, so here we need to elaborate the model a little lit. Make sure the material mapping table is up to date in case of exotic material denominations This file can be imported in Scia Engineer. In this example we will send the Precast-ready model to Scia Engineer for structural analysis.īefore we import the model in Scia Engineer, we do a quick check in Solibri Structural analysis of the model can be done at any stage of the project, whether it's in the conceptual phase or even in the final design stage to check any last minute modifications on the model. Just save your model as an IFC-file and import it in any other IFC-certified softwareįollowing model was set up in Allplan Engineering using standard architectural objects such as beams, columns and slabs.įor detailing purposes and preparation of the manufacturing, the model was then sent to Allplan Precast, where the slabs were converted into precasted flooring elements and the columns got all the necessary bits and pieces for a fast erection of the final building. Data-exchange with other software is very easy when using the IFC protocol. Allplan Engineering and Allplan Precast are both 3D modelling and detailing software in the Nemetschek portfolio with a strong focus on the concrete engineering industry.
