IMPACT Precast

1www.strusoft.com

IMPACT is an advanced software application for designing precast concrete buildingelements. IMPACT Precast is specifically developed to handle different types of concreteelements and the connections between them. The user is able to design the entirebuilding and create a three dimensional model (the Building Information Model – BIM)from which data for the elements can be extracted in order to automatically generate shopdrawings, assembly drawings and reports.

The information includes reinforcement, cast-in material, joints, electrical- and othercomponents for slabs, hollow core- and form slabs, walls, sandwich and double walls andcolumns and beams. The user can choose from working in 2D, 3D or directly on the shopdrawing. Standard components are stored in the BIM Standard Library.

All information is interlinked between the model, the drawings and the reports. One"Central Database" - BIM, collates all project information, allowing changes in thedrawings to be immediately taken back to BIM, with a possibility of exporting data toMaterial and Planning Systems (ERP) and Machine Control Systems.

Key Features IMPACT Precast

• IMPACT is developed to be used with AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, Revit.• IMPACT creates the building information model (BIM) consisting of slabs, hollow core

and form slabs, walls, sandwich, double walls and columns, and beams. includingstandard components such as reinforcement, cast-in material, joints, electrical andother components.

• IMPACT is used as a tool for effective and industrialized production of concretebuilding constructions to reduce man-hours in design and production, reduce lead-timeand to increase the quality.

• IMPACT automatically generates shop drawings, assembly drawings and relatedreports for production.

• IMPACT imports data (drawings) from architect systems and output data can beinterfaced to Material and Planning Systems (ERP) and Machine Control Systems.

• IMPACT has tools for web-based project collaboration and information sharing ofstandard data.

• IMPACT has integrated planning system for Cast Production, Transportation andErection.

Technical Features

• Easy to use.IMPACT Precast is easy to use and is built on the most common software in thebuilding industry, AutoCAD and Revit Structure.

• Reduced design time.By using IMPACT Precast, the design time is reduced a lot compared to usingstandard AutoCAD. This leads to that lead-time is reduced as well and increasedquality of Produced elements. IMPACT Precast generates all shop drawingsautomatically including dimensions and control of changes.

• Small and big models.IMPACT Precast can handle both small and big projects (models).

• Element marking and unique ID.For each project it is possible to select how the element marking shall be done. Theelement’s ID is unique and is automatically set by the system. This is important whenintegrating IMPACT Precast to Planning Software.

Technical Features• Multi user system, several users can work on the same project.

The users can share the whole or part of the project’s elements, components,drawings, etc. between each other. This is mandatory to be able to exchangeinformation on the same project between consultants, and precast factories.

Modelling & DetailingIMPACT is developed to be used with AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture or Revit.IMPACT creates the model in these platform using the different modules. IMPACTconsists module of

• Wall panelsSolid, Sandwich and insulated walls are defined using the floor plan or the elevationdrawing. Components are inserted from the standard libraries. The weight and centreof gravity is calculated, and lifts and bracing anchors are placed based on the positionof the centre of gravity.

• Column & BeamA library of standard parametric sections for columns and beams is available as well

as user-defined sections based on any polyline. Corbels can be added to columnsand beams as well as walls.

• Hollow Core SlabsHollow core slabs are defined by an arbitrary area. Saw zones can be defined tocontrol where cutting is allowed. Lifts and core filings can be inserted for eachelement. With the use of the Prestressed Calculation Connection it is possible performa structural analysis of the slab.

Modelling & Detailing

• Solid SlabSolid slabs with or without pre-stressing. The slabs are defined by an arbitrary areaand can be split into several elements by input of the width of each element.

• Double WallDouble walls consist of two thin concrete panels separated by girders. They arequickly defined and can also be standardized to minimize the input for each wall.Walls can be connected to each other using joints or T-connections withreinforcement.

• Form Slabs/FiligreeFiligree slabs with lattice girders that act as permanent formwork for in-situ castconcrete. The form slab definition is setup with reinforcement, lifting points and girdersand can be standardized using rules for lattice girders and reinforcement alternatives.

• ReinforcementComplex reinforcement can be defined in an easy and intuitive way. Templates canbe used to ensure that detailing is presented according to national standards. TheReinforcement module is integrated with the other modules or can be used stand-alone.

Production IMPACT Precast

IMPACT Precast has been developed in close collaboration with precast plants, witha unique focus on delivering quality material to the production.With IMPACT Precast, production issues are handled from the early stages of project.Production lines are stored in the factory-level of the database with information aboutgeometry and weight limits. Building cranes for erection with lift capacity curves andrestrictions are placed in the model.

Elements are continuously checked against the production and crane capacities. Iflimits are exceeded, elements are clearly marked in red and tooltips contain extendedinformation on the error.

Through automatic synchronization between IMPACT and planning systems,scheduling of elements through the phases of delivery of drawings, casting to erectiongives the users control over precast process.

IMPACT Precast supports a number of export formats to production planning systems(ERP) and production atomization systems including Unitechnik, BETSY andELiPLAN.
