Use

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 architectural walls. In other words, architectural walls are divided into precast walls. Various criteria, such as maximum length and maximum weight apply to this process.

Wall Element Design

You can use this tool to define the design mode, the connections and divisions as well as specify reinforcement and fixtures of precast walls. You can currently use this tool to create thermal walls.

Fixtures

You can use this tool to place fixtures in a precast wall. 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.

Assembly Parts

You can use this tool to place assembly parts, cast-in nuts and lifting bolts in a precast wall.

Structural Starter Bars

You can use this tool to create and place reinforcement cages that are used as structural starter bars. The reinforcement cages are installed on site into the placed precast walls, turning the precast elements in a double wall into a rigid, structurally-capable component.

Secondary Reinforcement

You can use this tool to create manual reinforcement for trimming for concrete and sandwich wall panels.

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 - Wall

You can use this tool to make individual basic reinforcement elements visible or invisible. You can also create a view of the layout elements and place it 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 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.

Use

Modify Recesses

You can use this tool to modify wall recesses.
In particular, you can select individual reinforcement elements that should not be cut into at the recesses.

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 wall design. You can make modifications using all the options available when you designed precast walls (Create menu).

Modify Mark Number

You can use this tool to change mark numbers and precast IDs of wall 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 and reinforcement of individual wall elements. You can also delete individual wall elements.

Modify/Label Reinforcement

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

Modify Wall in View

You can use this tool to modify wall panels and wall elements created with Wall Element Design. In addition, you can manually add facing elements to wall panels.

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 a 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.

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.
