IMPACT

• IMPACT creates the building information model (BIM) consisting of slabs, hollow core and form slabs, walls, sandwich, double walls and columns, and beams. including standard components such as reinforcement, cast-in material, joints, electrical and other components.
• IMPACT is used as a tool for effective and industrialized production of concrete building constructions to reduce man-hours in design and production, reduce lead-time and to increase the quality.
• IMPACT automatically generates shop drawings, assembly drawings and related reports for production.
• IMPACT imports data (drawings) from architect systems and output data can be interfaced to Material and Planning Systems (ERP) and Machine Control Systems.
• IMPACT has tools for web-based project collaboration and information sharing of standard data.
• IMPACT is developed to be used with AutoCAD or AutoCAD Architecture.

IMPACT Precast is specifically developed to handle different types of concrete elements and the connections between them. The user is able to design the entire building 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 shop drawings, assembly drawings and reports.

The information includes reinforcement, cast-in material, joints, electrical- and other components for slabs, hollow core- and form slabs, walls, sandwich- and double walls and columns and beams.
The user can choose from working in 2D, 3D or directly on the shop drawing. 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 the drawings to be immediately taken back to BIM, with a possibility of exporting data to Material and Planning Systems (ERP) and Machine Control Systems.

IMPACT Reinforcement is an integrated part of IMPACT Precast, handling the drafting and scheduling of rebar. It can also be used stand-alone for in-situ construction.

IMPACT Reinforcement is an effective software application for generating intelligent reinforcement drawings and schedules. Integrated into AutoCAD®, the software offers an easy and intuitive way of defining complex reinforcement for concrete structures. Templates can be used to ensure that detailing is presented according to national practice, or users own preferences.
