SOFiCAD / SOFiCAD OEM

The proven and future-proof 2D solution for construction and reinforcement based on AutoCAD®

SOFiCAD is your cost-effective 2D solution for all the challenges associated with reinforcement design in civil engineering.
The wide range of applications covers all building typologies and allows efficient project planning and the implementation of reinforcement for both building construction and civil engineering projects. Thanks to proven SOFiCAD functionalities, not only smaller projects but also complex and extensive reinforcement projects can be processed quickly and reliably.

As a proven but future-proof 2D CAD solution, alongside the necessary tools for traditional 2D reinforcement planning and common working methods such as 3D formwork / 2D reinforcement, SOFiCAD also offers ideal expansion options with SOFiSTiK's 3D solutions for an easy entry into the world of BIM and all the advantages of seamless processes.

 

SOFiCAD is available to you both as a modularly expandable solution in the subscription model and
as a purchase solution with an integrated AutoCAD® OEM core (SOFiCAD OEM / SOFiCAD OEM ALL).

 

 

Your benefits at a glance

Safe

SOFiCAD offers the security of one of the most successful solutions for reinforcement planning on the German market.

Features that make SOFiCAD your reliable tool

  • Familiar AutoCAD commands like copy, move, mirror etc. provide easy adaptability
  • Remain in full control:  the SOFiCAD functions let you safely controll all the information about the placed reinforcement
  • SOFiCAD's intelligent blocks ensures that information is always up -to-date and that the user remains in control over every step

Cost-effective

The proven technology allows you to
work through your reinforcement projects quickly.

Features that make SOFiCAD your cost-effective tool:

  • SOFiCAD OEM does not require a subscription or licensing of the base technology platform
  • Based on the AutoCAD core, learning to use the tool is a fast process
  • The possibility to revert to existing drawing templates reduces your working time and significantly accelerates plan creation

 

Open

SOFiCAD offers simple data exchange with all
project partners and clients thanks to its AutoCAD core.

Features that make SOFiCAD your
open tool:

  • Reliable FEA result checking independent of SOFiSTiK FEA. SOFiSTiK's open system architecture also allows testing of *.asf, *.dat or *.fsx files
  • Optimal combination with SOFiSTiK's 3D BIM solutions and easy connection to solutions from the Revit environment
  • By means of the Object Enabler Installer, drawings can be sent directly to the reviewing engineer for review

Welche Vorteile bietet SOFiCAD gegenüber anderer Software für 2D Bewehrung?

SOFiCAD ist nicht nur eine klassische 2D-CAD Lösung, sondern hält gleichzeitig alle Türen in die digitale Zukunft der Bewehrungsplanung offen. SOFiCAD kann unkompliziert mit unseren 3D-Lösungen in der Revit-Umgebung kombiniert werden, und ebnet so den Weg für nahtlose BIM-Prozesse oder die Arbeitsweise 3D Schalung / 2D Bewehrung.

Wie unterstützt SOFiCAD BIM Prozesse?

Ausgang und Ende der Informationsverwertung erfolgt bei SOFiCAD nach dem BIM-Gedanken, bei dem nicht nur die Verarbeitung grafischer Inhalte, sondern die durchgängige und konsistente Verwertung von Informationen im Vordergrund steht. In dieser Hinsicht kann auch 2D "BIM" sein. Bewehrungsvorgaben können direkt aus den SOFiSTiK FEM Lösungen importiert werden. Nach erfolgter Bewehrungsplanung kann kontrolliert werden, ob die geforderten Bewehrungsanteile in den Bewehrungsplänen umgesetzt worden sind. SOFiCAD schafft so nicht nur zusätzliche Sicherheiten, sondern steigert die Qualität Ihrer Bewehrungsplanungen und setzt den ersten Schritt in Richtung BIM.
Dank BIM-basierter Ergebnisse erfolgt der Wechsel von der Planung in die Bauphase bei Bedarf wegweisend und erlaubt Ihnen die konsistente Nutzung der Ergebnisse für einen fließenden Wechsel zwischen Planung und Produktion.

Mit welchen Lösungen kann SOFiCAD erweitert werden?
  • SOFiCAD kann jederzeit mit weiteren Lösungen aus der SOFiSTiK Produktfamilie kombiniert werden. Speziell im Bereich der Bewehrungsplanung schafft die 3D Lösung SOFiSTiK Reinforcement  einen fließenden Übergang in die voll-digitale Bewehrungsplanung und das Arbeiten nach BIM-Methodik.

Was sind die Preise für SOFiCAD?
  • SOFiCAD ist eine kosteneffiziente Lösung für die 2D Bewehrung. Für genaue Auskünfte zu Preisen und Konditionen für SOFiCAD steht Ihnen unser Sales-Team gerne unter info@sofistik.de zur Verfügung.
