EPTAR Reinforcement 6.0.2.454 for ArchiCAD 28

This solution helps designers to document and list the reinforcement required for their buildings in ArchiCAD. The application provides tools to define all 2D drawings as well as complete 3D models.

The solution includes a library of various reinforcement objects and an Add-on. They provide great freedom in defining structures and also help to specify complex objects. Eptar Reinforcement also checks the rebar ID number and corrects errors if necessary. With the Reinforcement tool, users can easily calculate the amount of rebar needed. The list of available steel bars on the plan as well as the interactive schedule.

Features of EPTAR Reinforcement

• Reinforcement of the roof with rebar in two directions and in the top and bottom areas using the direction selector.
• Reinforcement of the roof with RF_EDGE element (single roof)
• Reinforcement of the roof with mesh in the top and bottom parts.
• Correction of the concrete cover in the case of walls.
• Reinforcement only in the core of the slab.
• ID handling of RF_BEAM, RF_COLUMN and RF_EDGE elements: if the same ID is used twice in the element, a YELLOW sign will inform the user about it.
• More advanced beam and column reinforcement.
• RF_CHAIR is included in the Cut list with the necessary parameters.
• Reinforce BEAMS with the correct cross-sectional dimensions.
• Increase stability. If the program cannot perform an action, a warning window appears with information about the error.
• INTRODUCTION window
• Reinforce round columns. RF_COLUMN is automatically placed by the add-on in the relevant column with multiple settings.
• Spiral pedals for manual or automatic mounting.
• Dedicated layers for reinforcement: in Archicad 26/27, the layers are grouped into the reinforcement folder, in version 25 and below, these layers will be simply created.
• Update checking system, which lets users know when a newer version of Reinforcement is available.
• Enhancement 5 will support Archicad from version 23 to version 27.
• reinforcement of inclined walls cutting into the roof
• handling Archicad openings in walls
• correct use of structural core definitions in floor slabs
• list of iron chair components
• automatic notification of version new
• automatic placement of reinforcement in simple profile beams using the rf_beam composite element
• automatic placement of reinforcement in simple profile columns using the rf_column composite element
• list of beam and column reinforcement elements
• reinforcement types in extended 2D view
• reverse bending direction of reinforcement in slabs and walls
• option to indicate different text content in the plan label of reinforcement
• option to indicate different text content in the plan label of mesh
• indicate (select) on the plan all elements listed in the placed cut list
• Mesh table designer
• More accurate cut list for mesh
• More accurate cut list for rebar
• some new additions
• Reinforcement of concrete wall edges by placing cut rebars at the corners of openings
• Reinforcement of concrete slab edges by placing cut rebars at the corners of openings
• List of slab edge reinforcement and wall edge reinforcement by component
• List of rebars with different lengths by length
• Automatic update indicator
• Automatic straight, inclined and curved reinforcement
• Automatic roof reinforcement with mesh and reinforcement elements
• Automatic complex roof reinforcement
• Automatic reinforcement of multiple roof surfaces
• Most of the used reinforcement and tie rod shapes are pre-installed, but it is also possible to install custom polygonal shapes
• Steel elements with rotatable, so more difficult structures (e.g. stairs) can be modeled
• Complex components (columns, beams and crowns) can be defined
• Multiple viewing and display options
• Cut list generation
• Changes can be easily made on the layout and in the Object Settings window
