Reinforcement 2.1

English - German - Hungarian - Croatian - Romanian | ARCHICAD 22-23 | WIN

Reinforcement is available with several new functions. With the help of Reinforcement 2.1, the design process is more efficient than ever.

This solution helps designers to draw documents and lists the necessary reinforcement for their buildings in ArchiCAD. The application provides tools to define all 2D drawings as well as complete 3D models.

The solution contains a library of different reinforcement objects and an Add-on. They provide great freedom in defining constructions and also help to specify complex objects. Eptar Reinforcement also checks the rebar ID numbering and corrects it if is necessary. With Reinforcement tool, users can simply calculate the necessary amount of rebars. Iron list is available on the floor plan just as the interactive schedule.

Reinforcement features:

License borrowing: get for limited time (7 days) the activation key offline. After this time period the key become online again. This option is but permanent, and you can use it at any time. It can be ordered for your existing license, too.
Most used rebar and stirrup forms are preset, but custom polygonal forms can be set too
Steel elements can be rotated, thus more difficult constructions (e.g. stairs) can be modeled
Complex elements (columns, beams and crownings) can be defined
Many view and display options
Cutting list generation
Automatic correction of enumeration
Changes can easily be made on the layout and in the Object Settings window as well
Automatic reinforcement of walls
Several walls or slabs can be reinforced with a single selection
Multiple layers of rebar can be placed at a time

Supported ArchiCAD versions:

ArchiCAD 23

ArchiCAD 22

Eptar Reinforcement plugin runs in demo mode until you purchase the product.

Demo mode functions as the full version but the amount of rebars used to define complex elements and make listing, is limited.
