Unlock faster and more accurate design with ALLPLAN Precast 2025
The challenging environment in the construction industry makes efficient design and construction more important than ever. However, the latest version of ALLPLAN provides a solution: ALLPLAN 2025 enables higher productivity through seamless workflows, automated design processes, and innovative real-time collaboration. Let’s take a look at the most important new features for precast designers.
Precast Data Validator: Minimize precast design errors
The enhanced Precast Data Validator is a key tool for minimizing errors in precast design and detailing. The Data Validator enables the production of high-quality, error-free precast concrete elements. This means that users can rely on the model for correct data for production. This in turn means minimal risk of production errors in the precast plant and accidents on the construction site. Learn more about the Precast Data Validator in this video
Free-form formwork: taking advantage of industrial prefabrication
When it comes to components with complex geometries, conventional formwork systems reach their limits due to geometric adaptability. In these cases, free-form formwork is used. ALLPLAN 2025 provides a single tool for designing fully customized formwork for both simple and complex free-form geometries. The data can also be used for digital production to take full advantage of industrial prefabrication.
Accurate weight calculation: For the first time, ALLPLAN Precast 2025 now offers an exact weight calculation for precast elements. This new feature is a valuable addition to the previous approximate weight calculation of precast elements. The software calculates the net volume of concrete minus the weight of steel and fasteners. This is a great help, for example, when selecting the type of crane or determining the loading volume for trucks.
Easily compare precast elements: ALLPLAN Precast 2025 now offers a new, fast, and clear function for comparing identical or similar precast elements. The software indicates whether precast elements are identical or not and how the elements differ from each other.
Convenient management of fixtures: ALLPLAN Precast 2025 enables intuitive handling and management of fixtures. Highlights include:
- Improved placement and modification with handles in the animation view
- Local coordinate system for fixtures, PythonParts, precast walls and floors, and formwork elements
- Improved performance: shadow areas for 2D sheets can be automatically created from the 3D object
- User-defined associative dimension points
More consistency: The new version of ALLPLAN Precast is even more user-friendly and consistent.
- Precast elements can now be assigned to individual layers. This enables targeted display options in the views and sections.
- Fixtures can be switched on and off for each layer in the shop drawings.
- Marker numbers: Mark numbering for precast and steel components has been optimized in ALLPLAN 2025. Mark numbers for precast members in MSA reinforcement groups are now available in all files.
The numerous innovations in ALLPLAN Precast 2025 enable you to save a considerable amount of time and deliver high-quality results. Learn more about the new precast features in our webinar with the precast expert Jaime Crespo on December 5 from 09:00 – 10:00 CET. Register now
