The best component-oriented structural analysis and design solution

1. Architectural design in ALLPLAN

Every construction project begins with an idea and a conceptual design. With ALLPLAN, you can easily and precisely translate your visions into a model. The software enables you to efficiently model and visualize your designs—for fast and accurate planning of your construction projects.

2. Model-based data exchange with BIMPLUS

Smooth communication between architecture and structural engineering is crucial to the success of a project. With the model-based data and information management platform BIMPLUS, all parties involved have access to all relevant model and project information at all times. This allows other specialist disciplines to be seamlessly integrated into workflows—for consistent, model-based communication throughout the entire project.

3. Derivation of the analytical model with the FRILO BIM Connector®

Thanks to the direct connection of the FRILO BIM Connector® to BIMPLUS, relevant building model data for structural analysis can be imported directly into the BIM Connector and processed there. During import, not only are volume elements automatically converted into bar and surface elements, but geometric inaccuracies and modeling errors are also corrected.

Materials and material grades can be supplemented and modified after import. Non-load-bearing components can be hidden. The analytical model, which has been idealized for structural analysis, can then be transferred directly to the GEO building model for determining the vertical load transfer. From GEO, the individual FRILO calculation programs can then be accessed for detailed component design.

4. Structural Analysis and Design in FRILO

The broad portfolio of customized FRILO calculation programs enables structural engineers to provide precise checks of the load-bearing capacity and serviceability of components, connections, and structural systems made of reinforced concrete, steel, wood, and masonry. The philosophy of component-oriented analysis and design reduces the calculation effort and results in easy to understand and verify results.

The modern PLUS interface, which enables intuitive and efficient operation of the programs, is particularly noteworthy. Once the calculations have been completed, the design results can be exported to ALLPLAN and transferred directly to the structural detailing—for a consistent, digital design process.

5. Reinforcement Detailing in ALLPLAN

Standard-compliant structural analysis and design form the basis for precise structural detailing. The close integration of FRILO's design modules with ALLPLAN contributes significantly to an improved workflow in civil engineering, as it enables the smooth creation of reinforcement drawings with a high level of detail based on ALLPLAN's 3D model.

Design results from the FRILO structural analysis software can be integrated directly into ALLPLAN. A color-coded display in ALLPLAN shows at a glance whether the reinforcement meets the relevant requirements. In addition, reinforcement parameters such as the number, spacing, and diameter of individual reinforcement bars can be transferred directly to ALLPLAN from the FRILO column program B5+ via an interface. Thanks to fully 3D-based reinforcement detailing, all necessary reinforcement drawings can be derived directly from the model.
