The Allplan Bridge add-on for bridge modeling. Once the design has been created in Allplan Bridge, the model can be passed to the full Allplan environment where it can be further detailed and reinforced.įigure 10. Based on user defined points, the tool automatically generates the geometry of a tendon along the bridge structure. The latest release makes it easier to model a wide range of types of pre-stressing with immediate or later bond, internal and external, longitudinal, transverse and vertical, as well as those with non-standard geometry. This modeling approach is used for both the bridge superstructure and piers. The bridge model is defined by parametric alignments and cross sections and the variation of the parameters along the alignments. Allplan BridgeĮarlier this year ALLPLAN introduced Allplan Bridge, a dedicated tool for parametric bridge design focused on the requirements of bridge engineers (Figure 10). Navigating a building model sorted by its different structural levels and selecting specific objects using the Objects palette. Prior to the 2019 version, any change in the levels required accessing the Building Structure dialog and from there, the Floor Manager dialog, as shown.įigure 9. The hierarchical organization of the model is defined in a building structure where you can associate the files for each part of the project, and these in turn can be related to the levels defined in the Floor Manager, as shown in Figure 1. Given its distributed file structure-where all the elements in the model are created in multiple files rather than in one centralized file-the project setup in Allplan can initially be somewhat complicated and takes some time to understand, especially for new users. Let’s see what the additions and improvements in Allplan 2019 are compared to the 2018 version. The company is also establishing a corporate presence in the US and has recently opened an office in West Chester, Pennsylvania as part of its aggressive international growth strategy to bring the benefits of digital infrastructure construction and BIM enabled by Allplan to a global audience. Allplan was spun off as a separate company, ALLPLAN, in 2008, and it has expanded the application to include Architecture, Engineering, and most recently, Allplan Bridge. Headquartered in Germany, the Nemetschek Group, which is now publicly traded and the parent company of leading AEC applications such as ARCHICAD, Vectorworks, SCIA, RISA, Solibri, Bluebeam, dRofus, and Maxon, actually started off in 1963 with Allplan as its main product.
The 2019 version of Allplan, the flagship BIM application from the Nemetschek Group, which was released earlier last month builds up on the 2018 release, which was reviewed in AECbytes around this time last year.
