On any type of project, the adoption of an effective BIM workflow is the key

to success!

Structural engineers and technicians use many different design tools to

achieve 3D rebar production

As BIM adoption grows, new technologies will adapt and become more

integrated in the main platforms

There is an opportunity to harness BIM data from these design tools to better

streamline and connect engineers to technician BIM workflows

GRAITEC's Revit-based reinforcement design software is bridging the gap

delivering real advantages for RC frame structures

Using BIM data to design and produce 3D rebar cages and drawings,

embracing the future of making things!

Your takeaway’s from this class will be:

Understand why a connected structural BIM workflow is critical

Learn what steps to take to benefit from intelligent BIM data-exchange

Begin to take advantage of building performance data to automate

downstream processes

Automate the creation of 3D detailed reinforcement models, based on

regional design codes and standards

=> Future of Making Rebar in Revit!

Scene set?

Multiple software solutions

Model based, tabular = inconsistent BIM output

Sharing digital documentation

Design reports and associated documentation (2D)

Disjointed workflow

Elongated repetitive process prone to time wastage and errors

Minimal reuse of BIM data

Lack of trust based on poor collaboration experience

Industry Challenges - Engineer

BIM software for generic geometry

“BIM software is not yet suited to detailing RC”

Disconnected software systems

Detailing in a separate RC-detailing system

Engineering data as 2D digital documentation

Elongates the detailing process with much rework

RC-detailing software is often 2D

Cut off from the BIM process and instantly outdated
