IFC import and export with mesh reinforcement

The full exchange of reinforcement now facilitates the BIM workflow using SCIA Engineer, Straus7, Arktec, Cype and so on.

• Reinforcement created in the structural analysis program is imported to Allplan, where it is used to generate reinforcement drawings.
• Using the reinforcement exported from Allplan, bending deflection is calculated in SCIA Engineer and/or collision checks are carried out using BIM+, Solibri Model Checker, Autodesk Navisworks or Tekla BIMSight.

IFC reinforcement export using colors from animation

The colors used to represent different diameters make collision checks more effective in BIM+, Solibri Model Checker, Autodesk Navisworks or Tekla BIMSight and thus optimize the BIM workflow.

IFC export of the load-bearing layer

Now only the visible layers of multi-layer walls are exported. Using layer visibility, you can hide other layers, such as insulation, and thus exclude them from export.

CEDRUS building export

The new Export CEDRUS Building tool in the CEDRUS module facilitates the BIM workflow with Switzerland. The building model created in Allplan is exported to an XML file and then imported to and calculated by the FEA program CEDRUS provided by Cubus AG.
