The add-on introduces a dedicated toolkit explicitly designed to match native Archicad workflows. It treats reinforcement bars and meshes as smart, parametric components. 1. Automated Geometric Placement
Mastering Reinforced Concrete Design: A Complete Guide to Éptár Reinforcement for Archicad 26
The integration of Eptar Reinforcement with Archicad 26 offers numerous benefits for architects and engineers, including: eptar reinforcement archicad 26
For structural engineers, architects, and detailers, moving from the conceptual design phase to structural documentation within BIM (Building Information Modeling) can be a bottleneck. While Graphisoft’s Archicad is a leader in architectural modeling, detailed reinforcement (rebar) modeling requires specialized tools.
Automating the placement of stirrups and rebars significantly reduces the time spent on repetitive tasks compared to manual drawing. Unlike exporting models to external software, EPTAR works
Unlike exporting models to external software, EPTAR works within Archicad 26. If the concrete structure changes, you can simply adjust the EPTAR reinforcement object, maintaining the integrity of the BIM model. 2. Time-Saving Automation
Click to place the reinforcement, which will be visible in both 2D floor plans and 3D views. Reinforcing Walls Unlike exporting models to external software
Let’s model a simple reinforced concrete beam using . This demonstrates the automation power.
The tool can automatically place rebars and stirrups in standard rectangular beams and columns.
