Elementplan a strong feature
|
Element plan and BIM Building Information Modeling describes an integrated process encompassing building design, construction and management. BIM enhances conventional CAD systems and is the basis for providing all those involved with consistent information without delay. Nemetschek is a pioneer in the field of BIM and has been setting standards for years. |
BIM and precast parts Especially when it comes to precast element design, BIM plays a central role. 3D applications have become widely accepted in highly automated production, and companies that require data for billing in addition to geometrical dimensions for production fully exploit the benefits afforded by 3D applications. Allplan provides all the data, regardless whether you work in a layout-based manner or create a building model from the outset. |

Element plan = production plan The new developments in the field of element plan generation clearly show the benefits provided by 3D. When slabs and walls are designed in a conventional manner in precast factories, floor plans are usually created first. Then they are automatically split into precast elements (design) and an element plan (schema) is created for every individual precast element. This process works properly until changes need to be made. As the geometry and the individual elements are mutually dependent, it is often necessary to start from scratch. With BIM you can get around this tedious procedure. The “new“ element plan includes properties that effectively support these change processes. Any changes you make to the "master plan" are also applied to the element plan. Similarly, any additions you make to the element plan are automatically displayed in the “master plan”. Allplan provides shaped fixtures that can be placed along the edges of precast elements. In particular, this is very useful when you have designed complex structures between walls and slabs. Here, too, the fixtures and the neighboring walls interact and the design is reflected in the master plan and in the individual element plans. This way, you do not have to go through the time-consuming and error-prone process of changing each plan separately. And what about BIM? What’s the connection? When you create a drawing in Allplan, you use components. In other words, you create a model, which ensures that master plans and the individual element plans are consistent. Element plans, which are automatically derived from a master plan, can be displayed in separate windows. You can also add text, dimension lines and symbols as you need - as usual in CAD systems. And these additional elements are also retained when you make changes. An essential feature is that element plans update automatically and constantly even when you are editing the master plan and the relevant element plan windows are closed. For example, inserting a recess in a slab alters the geometry of one or more precast elements. The element plans of the relevant precast elements have automatically been updated in the background and are always up-to-date. Many small details such as dimension lines directly associated with fixtures, door swing, edges with bar overlap, smart symbols, labels, projected areas etc. are important, albeit small, factors that ensure that high-quality layouts are implemented correctly in factories. Element plans can be output individually or in a batch run. But the most important feature is that element plans can be output at the press of a button and in a variety of formats like DXF/DWG and PDF. This way, they can be read and managed by document management systems, process control computers and by users who are not working with CAD systems. This significantly reduces the output of paper documents. |
