SOFiCAD BAMTEC

BAMTEC uses individual reinforcement carpets for concrete slabs instead of conventional reinforcement with meshes. These carpets consist of uniaxial straight rebars welt with transverse strips.

Due to the fact that the carpets are produced individually for any plan and structural analysis, excess material is almost reduced to zero. Up to 40% of material can be saved in comparison to conventional reinforcement mats. After the carpet geometries were determined in the engineering office, SOFiCAD (optional on the basis of a preceding Finite- Element analysis, e.g. SlabDesigner) is used to automatically generate the inspection-, manufacturing- and rollout-plans. Simultaneously to this process the machine control files are generated. The entire process chain for slab design and production is covered by the programs SlabDesigner, SOFiCAD-reinforcement and BAMTEC. This will result in much more economical planning and construction.

Create carpets fully automatic including their corresponding rollout, check and production drawings.
Full support of AutoCAD layouts, viz one dwg-file includes all of the necessary drawings
Applicable with or without corresponding FEM-analysis.
Subsequent splitting of carpets. rollout regions are only allocated, once reinforcement in the carpetsis known
Easy switching of rolling direction
Additional reinforcement areas can be defined based on as-values or given diameter and spacing
Bar diameters and lengths can be modified at any time. The included schedule ajusts automatically.
Carpets can be exploded into rebar ranges (if SOFiCAD-reinforcement is available)
Easy update of drawings after finishing modifications
Only one click to generate machine control files in any directory in the network
Program control via intuitive right-click menu or toolbars
