Parametric parts

The component designer for quickly creating entire building models Structural elements like columns, roof trusses, foundations are included as parameterized components in a library. They are easy to create: define the geometry with just a few entries and the precast element is attached to the crosshairs and can be placed in the workspace These components can be modified interactively and saved as favorites. This way, you gradually “assemble” a building model based on precast elements – it is as if you had a kit of building bricks. |
FF reinforcement – reinforcement cages that are placed automatically and correctly in a shell. Here, too, reinforcement is created using parameters. In other words, instead of defining the geometry of the reinforcement, all you need to do is enter parameters for the diameter, spacing etc, and as soon as you have selected a reinforcement type in the catalog, the reinforcement expands to adapt to the outline specified. |

Component designer You can select components in a library. The selected component is then displayed in a clear form. As soon as you enter dimensions, the actual component is immediately attached to the crosshairs and can be placed in the workspace. The functions for a precise placement of these components are based on precast element design. For example, you can resize girders in order to fit them precisely between two columns with just three mouse clicks. Or you rotate and mirror a precast element to place it in the correct position. You can enter coordinates or make entries relative to reference points. This facilitates the process of designing the model, which is generated together with the fixtures as a “one-to-one model” of the real building. Many of our customers have adjusted their methods of working so that the first step involves creating this model. The geometry of the precast elements and all the fixtures that are relevant to erection are defined. This ensures that everything runs smoothly on the building site later. Generally, you do not edit the individual precast elements until you are finished with the model. The approach for creating and editing layouts for precast elements is almost similar to conventional CAD work. However, the benefits of working with a model play a central role in terms of quality and security. The first step involves transferring the solid directly to the layout, thus avoiding “geometric imprecisions”, and creating the layout with views and sections. The reinforcement is then created in these views and sections. Our customers tend to use predefined reinforcement, which is copied and modified. The big advantage of this method is that any precast element or building as well as the layout itself can be designed to suit your needs and requirements. Parameterization and automation are critical factors if you want to speed up your work. Extensive modification options and display modes are the key to success for production, ensuring that the layouts can be implemented correctly. FF Reinforcement |
