What is the best software for designing precast walls?

Precast walls include solid walls, double walls, sandwich walls, thermal walls, and brick walls. With the automated planning offered by ALLPLAN Precast, 3D components, architectural objects, and PythonParts can be converted into intelligent precast elements with just a few clicks. The software establishes relationships between the precast element and components such as formwork, reinforcement, and fixtures, allowing changes to be made quickly and reliably. In addition, ALLPLAN takes care of the elementization; i.e. the intelligent division into wall elements that can be produced and delivered by the individual production facilities. The software also takes into account the load capacity of the construction site crane. This 3D crane is also available as a PythonPart in the library. 

HOW DO I HANDLE
FIXTURES IN PRECAST WALLS?

Convenient handling of fixtures is essential for precast designers. This is because almost every single precast element requires specific fixtures. However, with the large number of different manufacturing companies, this usually leads to a high administrative burden in terms of planning, invoicing, and production. Thanks to the intuitive handling of fixtures, ALLPLAN users can save time and increase the quality of the planning process.

ALLPLAN makes working with fixtures much easier. It automatically performs the basic reinforcement and calculation of fixtures, such as lifting anchors or sleeves for inclined columns. In addition, thermal anchors are calculated efficiently and conveniently using the Schöck interface. Wall connections can be created with just a few clicks using parametric input or appropriate favorites. Handles can also be changed intuitively. These fixture improvements save time in planning, procurement, and production, especially with a large number of different manufacturers. It makes working with fixtures much more intuitive and productive.

How DO I handle joints?

Working with joints is particularly efficient in ALLPLAN Precast: simply select the appropriate, preconfigured joint and apply it to the wall element. Elements and objects can be modified just as quickly in the Properties palette: select the wall or element and edit the properties directly in the dialog box. 

In addition, ALLPLAN creates automated shop drawings, including reinforcement, fixtures, and dimensions, and updates them continuously. This means that the plan and model are always up to date.

What are the benefits of automated precast design workflows?

A complete digital solution tailored to the needs of the precast industry is the key to greater efficiency in precast design. With ALLPLAN's innovative solutions, engineering offices and precast plants can significantly accelerate their workflows. The powerful tools provide optimal support in all project phases:

  • Import of the architectural model
  • Creation of the 3D precast model
  • Element creation
  • Production data generation
  • 3D stacking of panels
  • Generating billing data

 

How can I design 
multilayer precast walls?

ALLPLAN Precast allows you to design multi-layer walls. For thermal walls, the software automatically generates production data for insulation panels, so that the designer can cut the appropriate panels either manually or automatically. For walls with a facing layer, the software automatically distributes the bricks and clinkers. Inclined walls can also be modeled efficiently.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions:

Reliable production data is essential for highly automated production. Interfaces should ensure an optimal connection to the production systems and support proven file formats, such as UniCam or PXML. ALLPLAN's MES-Connect, for example, supports this continuous flow of information from planning to production.

A connection to commercial systems for invoicing is also important. Relevant data such as quantities and prices can be transferred via an interface in standardized data formats. ALLPLAN's ERP-Connect offers secure data transfer to the commercial system.

Fully automatic generation of reinforcement data saves time and materials. MWS-Connect from ALLPLAN enables the automatic generation of production data tailored to the mesh welding system. It also automatically generates reinforcement data in the correct form for production. In addition, machine options are integrated within the CAD system, so that designs in ALLPLAN have the correct, preset machine parameters.

Time is money – especially in the construction industry. Therefore, working efficiently and meeting deadlines is crucial. Taking advantage of the many benefits of digitalization and automation can significantly enhance these efforts. The precast industry is a prime example of how automated work processes can increase efficiency while saving resources.

As a pioneer in digitalization, ALLPLAN places great emphasis on well-designed workflows. The following automated workflows have been specifically developed for precast design, including:

  • Automatic wall partitioning
  • Automatic creation of basic reinforcement
  • Automatic creation of shop drawings
  • Automatic handling of sockets and transport anchors
  • Automatic processing of imported IFC data
  • Efficient implementation of changes, e.g. automatic adjustment of plans and reinforcement
