• Allplan Hollow Core in brief
• Entering floor plans in a comfortable and quick manner. 
• Fields for placing slabs can be entered automatically or freely. 
• Slabs are divided automatically; reinforcement is recreated accordingly. 
• Span direction, slab division, supports can be changed as you need. 
• Benching at sloping edges 
• Recess types are managed and detected automatically. 
• Regulations for automatically creating steel headers and hammer heads 
• Reinforcement is created automatically. 
• Freely definable labels

What else can Allplan do?

• Data is automatically checked to find out whether the relevant elements can be produced. 
• Mark numbers are managed. 
• Subsequent changes are implemented quickly and consistently. 
• Profiles are managed using catalogs. 
• Communication with calculation – SCIA ESA PT 
• Communication with SCIA LOGISTICS, plus status checker
  

Results:

• General drawings, placing drawings 
• Associative production drawings (element plans), which can be edited automatically, for each precast element 
• Reinforcement schedules, bending schedules, lists of fixtures, quantity takeoff schedules 
• Data for process planning, production and ERP systems
  
  

Some highlights of the new version of Allplan

• Maximum values for projecting slab parts 
• Height of reinforcement can be defined freely for each layer 
• Additional prompts for slab labels (e.g. fire resistance class) 
• Bar overlaps can be applied to longitudinal reinforcement 
• Automatic calculation of indentations, hammer heads along supports 
• Automatic calculation of recesses at longitudinal sides and end faces 
• Status management to avoid subsequent changes to elements that have already been produced 
• Automatic assignment of mark numbers while taking geometry, reinforcement and fixtures into account
