ArmaCAD is provided with a shape recognition program enabling the creation and recognition of any kind of shapes.
ArmaCAD can be used to work in 2D or 3D, in fill or wire, real or figurative bar mode.
All rebars drawn on several view (Plan view or sectional view) are linked between them in order to automate and secure changes of properties.
Row of rebars in sectional view or in plan view are dynamic: In case of formwork changes, or changing spacing, rows can be easily stretched.
All or part of an ArmaCAD drawing can be used in another drawing, simply using the copy and paste function, without any data loss, with automatic agglomeration in the new drawing
ArmaCAD is capable of changing the bar diameter while updating the bending diameters and any standard hooks, and retaining the initial concrete cover.
ArmaCAD handles special bars such as rings, spirals, chairs, hoops and lifting bars.
ArmaCAD manages the layers of rebars, whether varying linearly or not, and performing the automatic updating of the bars in the event of modification of the formwork or of the spacing value.
ArmaCAD handles coupled or threaded bars on any type of shape.
ArmaCAD handles wire mesh with automatic overlapping and cutting. Mesh types are fully customizable.
ArmaCAD can manage automatic overlaps.
ArmaCAD can edit, at any time, an events report describing any additions, modifications or deletions made to the drawing over a given period.
ArmaCAD includes a bar marks browser including powerful modification functions of the numbering.
ArmaCAD generates bar schedules in report, on the drawing, on EXCEL®
ArmaCAD can generate BVBS files directly to steel processing machines.
ArmaCAD is fully configurable: Bar schedules, standard diameters, standards hooks, types & grades, shape codes, unit weights, CAD standards... All the parameters of a project are set in a same command. Each configuration is shareable and exportable.
ArmaCAD Complies with the requirements of the ISO 3766:2004, ISO 4066, BS 8666:2005, EuroCodes and AASHTO standards.
