    IMPACT Precast

    About

    IMPACT is an advanced software application for designing precast concrete building


    elements. IMPACT Precast is specifically developed to handle different types of concrete
    elements and the connections between them. The user is able to design the entire
    building and create a three dimensional model (the Building Information Model BIM)
    from which data for the elements can be extracted in order to automatically generate shop
    drawings, assembly drawings and reports.
    The information includes reinforcement, cast-in material, joints, electrical- and other
    components for slabs, hollow core- and form slabs, walls, sandwich and double walls and
    columns and beams. The user can choose from working in 2D, 3D or directly on the shop
    drawing. Standard components are stored in the BIM Standard Library.
    All information is interlinked between the model, the drawings and the reports. One
    "Central Database" - BIM, collates all project information, allowing changes in the
    drawings to be immediately taken back to BIM, with a possibility of exporting data to
    Material and Planning Systems (ERP) and Machine Control Systems.

    Key Features

    IMPACT Precast

    IMPACT is developed to be used with AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, Revit.


    IMPACT creates the building information model (BIM) consisting of slabs, hollow core
    and form slabs, walls, sandwich, double walls and columns, and beams. including
    standard components such as reinforcement, cast-in material, joints, electrical and
    other components.
    IMPACT is used as a tool for effective and industrialized production of concrete
    building constructions to reduce man-hours in design and production, reduce lead-time
    and to increase the quality.
    IMPACT automatically generates shop drawings, assembly drawings and related
    reports for production.
    IMPACT imports data (drawings) from architect systems and output data can be
    interfaced to Material and Planning Systems (ERP) and Machine Control Systems.
    IMPACT has tools for web-based project collaboration and information sharing of
    standard data.
    IMPACT has integrated planning system for Cast Production, Transportation and
    Erection.

    Technical Features

    IMPACT Precast

    Easy to use.
    IMPACT Precast is easy to use and is built on the most common software in the
    building industry, AutoCAD and Revit Structure.
    Reduced design time.
    By using IMPACT Precast, the design time is reduced a lot compared to using
    standard AutoCAD. This leads to that lead-time is reduced as well and increased
    quality of Produced elements. IMPACT Precast generates all shop drawings
    automatically including dimensions and control of changes.
    Small and big models.
    IMPACT Precast can handle both small and big projects (models).
    Element marking and unique ID.
    For each project it is possible to select how the element marking shall be done. The
    elements ID is unique and is automatically set by the system. This is important when
    integrating IMPACT Precast to Planning Software.

    IMPACT Precast

    IMPACT is developed to be used with AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture or Revit.


    IMPACT creates the model in these platform using the different modules. IMPACT
    consists module of
    Wall panels
    Solid, Sandwich and insulated walls are defined using the floor plan or the elevation
    drawing. Components are inserted from the standard libraries. The weight and centre
    of gravity is calculated, and lifts and bracing anchors are placed based on the position
    of the centre of gravity.
    Column & Beam
    A library of standard parametric sections for columns and beams is available as well
    as user-defined sections based on any polyline. Corbels can be added to columns
    and beams as well as walls.
    Hollow Core Slabs
    Hollow core slabs are defined by an arbitrary area. Saw zones can be defined to
    control where cutting is allowed. Lifts and core filings can be inserted for each
    element. With the use of the Prestressed Calculation Connection it is possible perform
    a structural analysis of the slab.

    IMPACT Precast

    Solid Slab
    Solid slabs with or without pre-stressing. The slabs are defined by an arbitrary area
    and can be split into several elements by input of the width of each element.
    Double Wall
    Double walls consist of two thin concrete panels separated by girders. They are
    quickly defined and can also be standardized to minimize the input for each wall.
    Walls can be connected to each other using joints or T-connections with
    reinforcement.
    Form Slabs/Filigree
    Filigree slabs with lattice girders that act as permanent formwork for in-situ cast
    concrete. The form slab definition is setup with reinforcement, lifting points and girders
    and can be standardized using rules for lattice girders and reinforcement alternatives.
    Reinforcement
    Complex reinforcement can be defined in an easy and intuitive way. Templates can
    be used to ensure that detailing is presented according to national standards. The
    Reinforcement module is integrated with the other modules or can be used standalone.

    Production

    IMPACT Precast

    IMPACT Precast has been developed in close collaboration with precast plants, with
    a unique focus on delivering quality material to the production.
    With IMPACT Precast, production issues are handled from the early stages of project.
    Production lines are stored in the factory-level of the database with information about
    geometry and weight limits. Building cranes for erection with lift capacity curves and
    restrictions are placed in the model.
    Elements are continuously checked against the production and crane capacities. If
    limits are exceeded, elements are clearly marked in red and tooltips contain extended
    information on the error.
    Through automatic synchronization between IMPACT and planning systems,
    scheduling of elements through the phases of delivery of drawings, casting to erection
    gives the users control over precast process.

    IMPACT Precast supports a number of export formats to production planning systems


    (ERP) and production atomization systems including Unitechnik, BETSY and
    ELiPLAN.
