Description

AutoCAD® is a versatile computer-aided design (CAD) software utilized by architects, engineers, and construction specialists to produce meticulous 2D and 3D drawings, featuring time-saving toolsets along with web and mobile applications. With capabilities to draft, annotate, and design both 2D geometries and 3D models—including solids, surfaces, and mesh objects—AutoCAD streamlines workflow by automating tasks like drawing comparisons, block additions, and schedule creations. Users can enhance their experience through customizable add-on applications and APIs, and the software is equipped with industry-specific functionalities and intelligent objects tailored for fields such as architecture, mechanical engineering, and electrical design. The platform simplifies the creation of floor plans, sections, and elevations while allowing for quick drawing of piping, ducting, and circuiting through comprehensive parts libraries. Additionally, it auto-generates annotations, layers, schedules, lists, and tables, thereby fostering efficiency. To ensure compliance with industry standards, AutoCAD employs a rules-driven workflow, making it an invaluable tool for professionals. Ultimately, its extensive features enable users to tackle complex design projects with greater ease and precision.

Description

The development of formwork, positioning, and shop drawings encompasses all essential features necessary for structural design, including associative dimensioning, level indicators, hatching, and various symbols. It includes layouts for steel bars and mesh suitable for any reinforcement scenario, ensuring seamless integration with AutoCAD, along with customizable settings to meet office standards through styles. It allows for the direct generation of schedules, supports user-defined shapes, and facilitates the export of existing reinforcements for calculations based on the second-order theory. The system also offers a polygonal mesh layout and macros designed for creating parametric members, with the Macros Module requiring detailing capabilities. Additionally, it provides comprehensive check, production, and layout plans specifically for BAMTEC customized reinforcement carpets. This functionality enables the fully automated generation of reinforcement carpets, includes all necessary drawings consolidated into a single file, allows for the subsequent arrangement of areas, and features extensive editing options for various area specifications, whether by value or by the diameter and number of bars. Moreover, users can easily modify the designs to accommodate specific project needs, ensuring maximum flexibility in their structural planning.
