Recesses

You can use this tool to create a recess in a precast slab. You can select the shape of the recess from predefined geometric forms or you can define it yourself by entering a polyline.

Structural Supports

You can use this tool to define structural supports. Make sure the structural supports are correct; you need them for structural calculations.

Special Loads

You can use this tool to define separate load cases. You can then enter various special loads in the load cases. You enter area loads, line loads and point loads.

Crane Location

You can use this tool to define one or more crane locations. Do this before you use the Design tool. The program includes the crane parameters when calculating the elements.

Design

You can use this tool to design a precast slab. A placing region is fully user-definable. You just have to enter any number of points on screen. This means you can e.g., relate it to the room corner points of the existing elements or enter user-defined coordinates.

Structural Calculation

You can use this tool to carry out structural calculations and dimensioning of precast slabs. These calculations can be based on EC2 or DIN1045.

Fixtures

You can use this tool to place fixtures in a precast slab. You can freely define and change the appearance, attributes and parameters of the fixtures. There are the following types of fixtures: symbol, linear, surface fixtures as well as fixture groups.

Secondary Reinforcement

You can use this tool to place different kinds of secondary reinforcement (secondary bars, girders, shear girders, meshes, reinforcement of any shape, stirrup cages, bent-up meshes).

Shear Reinforcement

You can use this tool to calculate lateral force and bond for half floor elements in compliance with DIN 1045-1 or DIN EN.

Definition Ranges

You can use this tool to define areas with special attributes, loads, reinforcement and secondary reinforcement. Whereas secondary reinforcement is only created directly under the defined area, all the other parameters are applied to all precast elements below the definition range, even if a precast element only touches the definition range.

FEA Entry

You can use this tool to lay the foundations for FEA calculations.

FEA Reinforcement

You can use this tool to import the calculated FEA files.

Import FEA Files

You can use this tool to import FEA files.

FEA Reinforcement Color Image

You can use this tool to prepare FEA results for color update.

Edit Element

You can use this tool to edit single elements in a special screen display or send output to the printer. This allows you to draw fixtures or secondary reinforcement, create a table, generate element dimensions automatically, or make individual reinforcement elements visible or invisible.

Plan Display - Slab

You can use this tool to show or hide individual elements of basic reinforcement. You can also place a perspective view of the slab elements in the floor plan.

Reports

You can use this tool to prepare and print reports.

Element Plan

You can use this tool to create and print element plans for individual elements. As opposed to the edit element tool, manual additions (dimension lines, text, details etc.) are also retained even when you close the element plan window and open it later.

Transfer Element Plan

You can use this tool to transfer a complete element plan including all elements added manually to the layout (symbols, text, dimension lines, legends and so on) to one or more precast elements. You can also transfer reinforcement and fixtures.

Element Plan in Batch Run

You can use this tool to create all element plans for several elements in a batch run. The same settings are used for all element plans unless you have already created manual element plans with other settings.
You can create a list of the element plans generated so that you can print them together. In addition, you can save the element plans to a file.

Function

Use

Modify Recesses

You can use this tool to modify slab recesses as follows:
You can select individual reinforcement elements that should not be cut into at the recesses.
You can change the recess type for (prestressed) hollow core elements and TT slabs.
You can define support conditions, bar overlaps and bending shapes for individual recesses.

Modify Structural Supports

You can use this tool to modify structural supports. You can make modifications using all the options available when you created structural supports (Create menu).

Divide Structural Supports

You can use this tool to divide existing structural supports into several supports.

Modify Special Loads

You can use this tool to modify special loads. You can make modifications using all the options available when you created special loads (Create menu).

Status Admin

You can use this tool to assign or change statuses and locking states independently of the automatic features. In addition, you can configure the program to highlight the current status and locking state.

Modify Design

You can use this tool to modify a completely designed placing region. You can make modifications using all the options available when you designed precast slabs (Create menu).

Change Hollow Blocks/Concrete Strips/Filling Objects/Bricks

You can use this tool to create permanent concrete strips and hide individual hollow blocks or balls to generate concrete strips in these areas. In addition, you can modify filling objects or bricks if you have the appropriate license.

Modify Mark Number

You can use this tool to change mark numbers and precast IDs of slab elements.

Label Precast Elements

You can use this tool to label precast elements you created without labels or whose original labels have been deleted.

Modify Parameters, Basic Reinforcement

You can use this tool to modify the parameters or reinforcement of individual slab panels. You can also delete individual slab panels.

Modify, Label Reinforcement

You can use this tool to modify basic or secondary reinforcement. Reinforcement can also be labeled later with this tool.

Mesh Welding System Editor

This tool starts an editor you can use to edit MWS meshes created by the program.

Reinforcement in MWS Grid

You can use this tool to adapt existing reinforcement to an MWS grid.

MWS Reinforcement Group

You can use this tool to combine reinforcing bar placements in MWS reinforcement groups.

Derive from MWS Reinforcement Group

You can use this tool to create to scale, non-associative views of MWS reinforcement groups.

Modify Slab Reinforcement Parameters

You can use this tool to modify the parameters of an architectural slab.

Model Precast Elements

You can use this tool to modify the geometry of precast elements.

Model Connections

You can use this tool to model connections between precast elements. The assignment is always retained even if the modeled objects are within several precast elements.

Transfer Elements

You can use this tool to transfer fixtures and reinforcement to (partly) identical precast elements. You can transfer the selected elements from the source precast element to one or more destination precast elements at the same time.

Collision Check

You can use this tool to check whether selected elements collide.
