The product family - Headlines
Unique, end-to-end family of products
with object-oriented 3D planning and
design software, cost management and
Facility Management software
Platform for interdisciplinary
collaboration among architects,
engineers, design professionals
and facility managers
Depending on the project phase or
type, users can switch back and forth
between 2D drafting, 3D design or
even use an intelligent building model
as they wish
Seamless data exchange with more than 50
formats supported, including the standard
formats PDF and IFC, as well as DWG, DXF
and DGN

Allplan solutions
Allplan Architecture
Supports architects and planners from the presentation and submission of the draft idea to
the working drawing, detailed planning and construction cost planning.
Integrated system for design, layout and visualization.
Use of the 3D model across all phases of a building's life cycle – from the architecture,

Allplan solutions
Allplan Engineering
CAD solution for structural concrete design. It enables efficient creation of key plans,
general arrangement and reinforcement drawings. Together with Scia Engineer it
provides an integrated solution for CAD and structural analysis from a single source.
End-to-end working from the architectural design to the reinforcement drawings.
Comprehensive palette of layout and design tools: formwork 2D and 3D – reinforcement
with bars & meshes 2D and 3D – generating bending list – localised for many codes
Also applications for prefabrication, timber, earthworks (DTM), building services, facility
management.

Allplan solutions
Comparison of productivity 2D versus 3D
Reinforcement Design and Detailing in 3D
ceiling views, elevations, sections, quantities and bending schedules are
derived from an intelligent building model
collisions and other issues can be detected during the design process
modifications of building objects and reinforcement are automatically and
consistently updated in all drawings and schedules
Traditional Approach
ceiling views, elevations and sections are manually
produced and completely independent from each other
bending schedule is managed manually
risk of inconsistent design documents, especially if
modifications occur
Benefits
considerable time savings through optimized work
processes
clear and consistent design documents
improved comfort

software philosophy perfectly suitable for highly individual
construction projects
unique automatic formwork finder technology (FF reinforcement)
predefined reinforcement groups (FF components)
reinforcement can be adapted by grips
enormous efficiency and flexibility compared with other solutions
Individually shaped
members can be Traditional Approach
reinforced rapidly time-consuming definition of bar shape and manual placement
Benefits
from the beginning on high productivity, even for individually shaped
members
working consequently in 3D ensures high quality standards by
avoiding inconsistencies, collisions and other design faults

office complex with 8 stories and 6.500 m²
gross building area
geometrically challenging situation between
existing buildings
to save space, slabs of the parking level are
sloped and a load-bearing façade is used
“Using Allplan helped to reduce the amount of
errors. Some details were provided as 3D PDF
documents to the construction site. It was
extremely helpful to automatically produce the
bending schedules.”

longest railway tunnel in the world (57 km), 20 years of
construction, cost about 9 billion €
up to 2.400 m of overlying rock resulted in extreme
pressure in disturbance zones
hybrid approach in standard situations with 2D
formwork/3D reinforcement, full 3D design and
visualizations at complex points
“Despite standardization, about
120 blocks plans and more than
1.000 plans have been
produced. This is a huge
amount of data, but Allplan dealt
with it effortlessly.”

long, 20 m wide, 4 pillars, 5 spans
beams on top of pillars are precast and pre-
stressed elements with CFRP edges
pillar shapes have been modeled with Allplan’s
Bridge and Civil Engineering modeler, then
exported to mechanical engineering software
SolidEdge for CNC formwork production
“The rebar supplier was extremely pleased with
the supplied bending schedules, which can be
generated with Allplan almost automatically.”

Architectural Model
architect’s view
contains all visible objects
(walls, curtain walls, windows, doors, railings, shading elements)
Structural Model
structural draftsmen's view
contains all load-bearing members (walls, slabs, beams, columns,
foundations, …)
non-bearing objects are hidden
(thermal insulation, curtain walls, windows, doors, railings, shading
elements)
Analytical Model
structural engineer’s view
3D members are translated to lines (1D) and planes (2D) and
transferred into a valid structural system

Model comparison
Update Mechanism
modified model is transferred again between applications
changes between old and new model are detected and
highlighted
changes can be individually accepted or rejected
Changes are structural analysis can be performed again immediately, since all
detected and necessary information is already available
graphically
Traditional Approach
highlighted
search for design changes
manual adaption of the analytical model
alternatively complete reentry of geometry, support conditions,
material properties and loads
Benefits
repeated time-savings through preserving the model
better clarity and quality + improved comfort

Optimization for reinforced concrete with Allplan Engineering
Bidirectional Exchange of Reinforcement
particularity of reinforced concrete structure: optimization usually
happens not by modifying sections, but by adjusting the amount of
reinforcement
design in the ultimate limit state is performed with Scia Engineer
reinforcement detailing is carried out with Allplan Engineering
Structural model with transfer of the reinforcement model from Allplan to Scia Engineer
reinforcement in Allplan
verifications in the serviceability limit state (deflections, cracks)
with Scia Engineer based on the detailed reinforcement model
Traditional Approach
… to Scia Engineer …
simplified verification of the serviceability – may lead to
unnecessarily large member dimensions and reinforcement
quantities
