Assign specific steel grades, yield strengths, and manufacturing standards to different elements. 4. Automated Bending Schedules and Documentation
High. Changes in 3D automatically update 2D views and schedules. Low. Manual updates required across multiple drawings. Automatic clash detection prevents overlapping steel cages.
The latest versions compatible with Archicad 26 introduce several enhancements designed for better organization and automation: Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26
Send the reinforcement model to the structural engineer as an IFC file, or extract 2D shop drawings with automatic dimensions.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) requires structural details to match architectural designs perfectly. For concrete structures, modeling rebar manually is often tedious and slow. Changes in 3D automatically update 2D views and schedules
You can easily define rebar diameters, bending radii, and spacing. The add-on includes a library of standard rebar shapes and allows for custom configurations. It handles both individual rebar pieces and complex welded wire meshes. 2. Automated Smart Elements
in smaller firms who handle their own structural documentation. Automatic clash detection prevents overlapping steel cages
For non-standard structures, users can define custom polygonal or arc-shaped rebars.
Eptar Reinforcement for ArchiCAD 26 has been successfully applied in various real-world projects, showcasing its capabilities and benefits in different contexts. Some examples include:
: Automatically insert reinforcement into simple profiled beams and columns using the complex elements. Complex Geometry Support
