Building Modeler and Members Preliminary Sizing

     
   

New Generation

The use of finite elements methods allows to model any type of building, to define the preliminary sizing of all members and to assess the load distribution in the building resulting from static and seismic calculations.
Until now, the user had to rely on limited simplified methods or exact but heavy mathematical methods. From now on, you can use exact and accurate methods in a powerful yet easy to use building software.

 

Links with Concrete Solutions

CBS Pro has a dynamic link with all the other products developed by RoboBAT as ROBOT Millennium, and its reinforced concrete design modules (beams, columns, footings…), ESOP for custom calculation sheets, and our drawing tools under AutoCAD® : RCAD Concrete drawings and RCAD Concrete reinforcement.
 

Global Object Modeling

The preliminary member sizing allows to get, after analysis, a very accurate bill of quantities estimation (concrete volume, rebars weight, formwork area...).
 
In addition to static analysis, it is possible to run dynamic analysis according to various standards: PS92, RPA99-2004, RPS2000...
 
Any section shape with any material (concrete, steel, wood) can be used. Modeling of inclined roofs, slanted slabs, stairs, doors and windows openings...

 

Several Calculation Methods

CBS Pro includes 3 methods :

Tributary area :this is similar to what the engineer usually calculates by hand. It is suitable for buildings with rectangular slabs.
Simplified Finite elements : This method is suitable for buildings with arbitrary slabs shapes.

Full finite elements: this follows the exact behavior of the building and allows for complex load distributions between floors. This method is necessary for seismic calculations.
 

 

Result Post-Processing

Graphical results in maps or diagrams are available.
The post-processing can be done on the whole structure or on some structural building members only.
Results can be displayed in 2D floor plans or directly onto the 3D building view. CBS Pro is a good preliminary sizing software. It calculates the reinforced concrete member sections required to carry all the loads.

It produces automatically the detailed design and detailed shop-drawings for reinforced concrete members (beams, colums, footings…)
 

 

Link With CAD software

First real integrated solution between Engineering and CAD software

CBS Pro allows the import of DXF and IFC formats.
IFC format is common in the building industry, civil engineering
and architecture.
Software like Allplan®, ArchiCAD®, Architectural Desktop®
from AutoDESK® read and write IFC formats.
