Reinforcement

One product for 3D modelling and handling of all the information and deliverables required for reinforcement processing, from dimensioning to execution.

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement (RC) is your package for 3D reinforcement and plan derivation with Autodesk® Revit® in one product.
The included tools of SOFiSTiK Reinforcement covers all your needs for effective reinforcement processes in the BIM method. The detailing tools significantly accelerates the creation of 2D reinforcement plans from the 3D reinforcement of a Revit model, while modelling tools allow you to conveniently generate a 3D reinforcement model. The Reinforcement package thus combines all tools for implementing economical work processes for your reinforcement projects.

Your benefits at a glance

Safe

You keep your eyes on the target and feel secure even when managing large scale reinforcement projects, no matter if we talk about cast-in-situ or precast elements.

Fast

Whether you are modeling, detailing or extracting information for other project stakeholders, SOFiSTiK Reinforcement has the effective solution for any task in the process.

Open

Beside BIM2Field workflow and workshop instructions for automatic bending machines, SOFiSTiK Reinforcement enables a collaboration workflow with other stakeholders, without having to purchase extra licenses in order to keep the information about reinforcement in your model up to date.

Very flexible rebar management. Assignment methods (per sheet, member, project) and rebar marking criteria tools help you safely focus on the modelling part and ease the tedious tasks of the reinforcement design.
The dedicated Reinforcement browser is your dashboard, it helps you have a trustworthy overview of reinforcement in your entire project.
The way the warnings are built in the program gives you the safe feeling. You are not left with a black box in your hands, instead you are given full control of the situation of reinforcement.
Split rebars according to bonding condition and many other common practices you need to take into consideration when it comes to designing reinforcement are features implemented in SOFiSTiK Reinforcement.

3D Reinforcement Modelling is one click away. With the “Rebar Templates” tool you can apply your usually used reinforcement solution in your currently work in progress reinforcement models. Customize your reinforcement templates or use them directly out of the box. You have your solution for the standard elements or faces at one click distance.
If you would like to create reinforcement extracts, hide and label placements, hide and place details or simply mark all visible reinforcements in a view, you can do this with just a few clicks.
The *.docx reinforcement schedules tools help you to extract with one click and be up to date all the time with all the information about reinforcement you need. Optimized reinforcement fabric layouts to order the minimum amount are included. Linear spacers or couplers are also present in schedules.

The bar bending schedules can be transfered to automatic bending machines via BVBS interface with *.abs file format. This information can be transmitted also in *.docx-Format which is fully customizable and translatable in every language.
You can benefit from all the advantages of Revit as platform, if the reinforcement is recognized correctly in Revit, you can manipulate it how you are already used to, you can export it as IFC (Industry Foundation Classes – Coordination View) at any stage of project development four your partners and with SOFiSTiK Reinforcement you can model and detail further.

SOFiSTiK Reinforcement

significantly accelerates the creation of 2D reinforcement sheets out of 3D-Rebar models in Revit. Additional to the software you benefit also of intelligent families and a set of rebar templates, which can easily be modified to meet national or company standards. Creation of rebar lists, bending schedules and cut lists for fabric reinforcement is included as well.
