Automating the reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures in Allplan 2021

New parametric reinforcement objects and the merging of many work steps significantly speed up reinforcement design in Allplan 2021-1. Users can specify reinforcement rules with respect to minimum and maximum spacing, minimum diameter or permissible reinforcement ratio and define reinforcement coverage or connections. The design of shear reinforcement is also made easier. Working with these parametric reinforcement objects saves time when designing similar elements. Automatic comparison of the design with saved reinforcement rules detects errors early in the design process.
