RCAD Concrete | RCAD Steel

     
                 

 

 

 

The RCAD software is a new leading edge solution for the modelling and drafting of steel and concrete structures. RCAD can be used in a variety of situations and, built upon our philosophy of integrated solutions, allows the user to benefit from a truly seamless integration of drafting, analysis and design. RCAD software is a solution completely integrated with Autodesk products and may be used with Autocad, Architectural Desktop or even Autocad LT.
   

RCAD Steel is a flexible and easy to use software to allow users to easily define steel structures inside Autocad. The software has a full library of steel sections from around the world and also has various "macros" built in as standard to facilitate the simple generations of standard details, such as connections, staircases and handrails. Facilities also exist to produce simple general arrangement details are even more detailed shop drawings. However, arguably the strongest part of the solution is the ability of RCAD Steel to integrate with ROBOT Millennium analysis and design software, thereby providing a single solution for drawing, analysis, design and final detailing. A typical practical example of this could be that the draftsman would set up a drawing in RCAD steel, the engineer would then work on the integrated ROBOT file and maybe make some changes to the section sizes used and then the draftsman would benefit from a "seamless" update of the drawing file that could then be taken further to produce final drawings. The benefits, both in terms of time saved and also accuracy, are obvious.

   

RCAD Concrete is a solution to allow the fast and effective definition of reinforced concrete structures inside Autocad. The software has many "templates" that comply with the detailing practices of different countries around the world, to ensure that local detailing methods can be used and the appropriate bar schedules produced automatically. Several macros exist for the fast and efficient detailing and scheduling of "standard" structures, such as pad footings, staircases, beams and columns. As with RCAD steel, the software benefits from complete integration with the world renowned analysis and design software ROBOT Millennium - thereby producing automatic drawings of reinforced concrete members that have previously defined in ROBOT Millennium
