ProConcrete

What is ProConcrete?

ProConcrete is a comprehensive modeling and detailing software that allows you to model objects of any shape, with any combination of reinforcing. With ProConcrete, you can easily create concrete structures for a variety of industries such as building, plant, civil, and bridges. It allows you to reduce documentation production time and eliminate errors and design flaws. Quickly create accurate 3D models, placement drawings, fabrication details, bar bending schedules, concrete quantity, and material reports with automatic updates to reflect model changes.

• Create accurate models with powerful 3D parametric reinforced concrete modeling
  Using intuitive reinforced concrete modeling commands, you can easily model industry standard structural members, such as beams, columns, slabs, walls, and foundations, as well as complex reinforced concrete shapes including curves, sloping, or non-orthogonal shapes. Added steel reinforcement is attached to concrete objects and updates automatically as the concrete shape changes.
  
  
• Communicate design with high-quality documentation
  ProConcrete drawings, bills of materials, and bar bending schedules are produced directly from the 3D model. Plans, sections, and details based on user-defined drawing styles can be created from any view direction and are dynamically updated following changes to the model. Bar bending schedules and material takeoffs are easy to extract from the 3D model and are highly customizable to conform with any country or company standard. This substantially reduces the time to produce documentation and virtually eliminates errors and design flaws.
  
  
• Re-use structural data with interoperability
  ProConcrete allows for seamless collaboration and exchange of information with other disciplines including architectural, plant and process, HVAC, and services to ensure the best quality and faster delivery. Reinforcing concrete models from other solutions like OpenBuildings Designer, OpenBridge Modeler, and MicroStation is made easy, by enabling reinforcement modeling in models attached as references. Collaboration with engineers who use third-party solutions like Autodesk Revit or Tekla Structures is enabled through industry standard formats, including IFC (Industry Foundation Class).
  
  Reinforcement models can then be transferred digitally to rebar manufacturers for fabrication and rebar placers for construction, which allows you to manage their day-to-day work with digital data and 3D models, vastly improving efficiency.

Furthermore, ProConcrete enables you to:

• Design reinforced concrete to international design standards
  Extend the reach of your business practice and take advantage of global design opportunities by using a wide range of international standards and specifications in our design products. Complete your designs with confidence thanks to extensive support of international standards.
  
  
• Detail and schedule concrete reinforcing
  Produce rebar placing drawings, including sections, plans, details, bar bending schedules, material take-offs and beam/column/footing schedules, all based on the 3D model. All schedules and drawings can be customized to adhere to your company’s standards for concrete projects.
  
  
• Model reinforced concrete structures
  Model structural members such as beams, columns, slabs, walls, foundations, and rebar. Create complex reinforced concrete shapes, including curves, sloping, or non-orthogonal shapes using intuitive commands. Add steel reinforcing to concrete objects that update automatically as the concrete shape changes.
  
  
• Produce reinforced concrete documentation
  Produce structural concrete drawings including sections, plans, and details that are all automatically linked to the 3D model. Quickly create details of reinforcing, including automated rebar labels, dimensions, and notes. Customize all drawings to adhere to your company’s standards for all your reinforced concrete projects. Update user-defined bar marking, bar schedules, and drawings automatically as the 3D model changes.
  
  
• Share reinforced concrete models
  Transfer structural model geometry and design results from one application to another and synchronize changes over time. Quickly share the structural model, drawings, and information with the entire team for review.
