Bentley Rebar

Reinforced Concrete Detailing and Scheduling

Bentley Rebar is Bentley's premier concrete reinforcing design application for MicroStation. This 2D/3D software can save you hundreds of hours in the detailing office. Bentley Rebar makes full use of the MicroStation platform to deliver a powerful concrete detailing and scheduling system. It lets you retrieve standard reinforcement details dynamically, automatically produce 3D reinforcement models from plan, section and elevation views, and respond quickly and efficiently to last-minute design changes with intelligent parametric detailing. Bentley PowerRebar offers the same powerful detailing and scheduling tools in a standalone product.

Reinforced Concrete Detailing and Scheduling

Advantages Drafting Flexibility Quickly create accurate 2D reinforcement layouts of any concrete arrangement.

Dynamic Bar Labeling Bar labeling is automatically maintained by the software, virtually eliminating the need to enter text manually.

Automatic Scheduling and Charting Rebar instantly updates bar charts with accurate quantities and bar mass summaries as you lay out or change concrete arrangements.

Dynamic Dimensioning Instead of tweaking the graphics, you can use dynamic dimensioning to automatically drive the size and shape of concrete details.

User-Definable Bar Codes Rebar draws reinforcement according to your preferred design code; the software supports all major international codes.

Bar Shape Library The software intelligently scans its Bar Shape Library of more than 1,000 shapes to find a matching shape as each reinforcing bar is detailed. 3D Modeling Design in 2D and Rebar automatically creates and maintains 3D models of reinforcement. You can use these to investigate conflicts. Rendered views, fly-throughs, and panoramas are created with MicroStations visualization tools. Powerful Bar Editing Manage the detailing and scheduling process with a suite of specialized reinforcement editing routines.

Parametric Detailing Choose from a broad set of parametric prompts and equations that enable you to control individual concrete details for intelligent layout, dimensioning, and resizing. Rebar Object Library User-definable objects make it easy to create new objects for automating the detailing of concrete elements, from stairways and columns to retaining walls and footings.

Reinforced Concrete Detailing and Scheduling

Overview From buildings, foundations, and bridges to industrial and marine structures, Bentley Rebar ensures accuracy of design, quantities, and plans regardless of the complexity. The software enables you to

respond efficiently to last-minute design changes and fast-track projects. Powerful, dynamic tools remove bottlenecks in the drafting department:
y y y y

Start work on your reinforcement drawings before final design sizes are determined. Save time and eliminate manual entry with fully automated labeling and charting capabilities. Eliminate recalculations and improve design quality with dynamic dimensioning. Easily determine reinforcement conflicts with 3D models and fly-throughs.

Bentley Rebar is a fully integrated 2D/3D system that offers the best in design flexibility. You can create virtually any concrete arrangement no restrictions. The software automatically updates reinforcement as you tweak design, and automatically recalculates bar quantities and updates bar charts as changes are made. All major international design codes are supported.

Advantages

Choice of AEC Platform InRoads integrated applications run on MicroStation and AutoCAD, in single or hybrid environments, without the need to repurpose and convert data. Integrated The InRoads product family is tightly integrated, so that design information from collection of existing ground to as-builts is shared by engineering disciplines and other project stakeholders. Consistent InRoads stores project data independent of the AEC platform to ensure data integrity and security, as well as to provide engineering design consistency across platforms. Cohesive Consistent tools, look, and feel with a Project Explorer interface across the product line gives you easy access to the power of InRoads applications and reduces impacts of training and startup. Streamlined and Efficient Roadway libraries streamline repetitive tasks across projects and promote rapid evaluation of design alternatives for critical decision-making. As features are modified, the software synchronizes the design expression be it plan, profile or cross section to reflect the change. Customizable and Adaptable Configure the InRoads environment to meet project standards or your personal preferences, from the software interface to the way in which design features display. Bentleys InRoads products adapt to your workflow, regardless of the deliverable your project demands.

Compatible Report geometry and surface data through XML for improved data sharing with field engineers and surveyors, stakeout and construction, as well as other software applications. Productive A single pull-down menu of drafting tools offers easy drafting functionality, including flexible notes and labeling capabilities, and automated plan and profile sheet generation. Intelligent Fully 2D/3D capable, InRoads offers smart, feature-based modeling and automatic updating of drawings and reports from design changes. Versatile InRoads can be used on all types of civil projects, by users with different levels of expertise, for a range of project needs, from early impact studies to construction plans production.

ProStructures

Structural Detailing and Fabrication for Steel and Concrete

Bentleys ProStructures includes ProSteel and ProConcrete. Both are advanced 3D modeling programs supporting your constuction and planning tasks. ProSteel provides detailing for structural steel and metal work and ProConcrete detailing and scheduling of reinforced insitu/precast and post-tensioned concrete structures. ProStructures enables engineers to reduce documentation production time and assists them in eliminating errors and design flaws and to design and document composite structures.

Structural Detailing and Fabrication for Steel and Concrete

Overview

Based on standard platforms, ProStructures easily allows structural engineers, detailers and fabricators to create 3D models for both concrete and steel. ProStructures provides automatic creation of documentation, details and schedules. The open working environment and programming interface supports standardization of the program. Bentleys ProStructures includes ProSteel and ProConcrete.

y y y

The automatic creation of documentation and details increases productivity and therefore profitability. The detailing includes miscellaneous steel such as stairs, handrails, ladders, and circular stairs. The documentation provides 2D drawings from a 3D model, including bills of materiala, NC data and PPS data. ProStructures eliminates duplication of effort and increases Interoperability. It offers integration with Bentley products as well as 3rd party products. ProStructures can be easily customized and standardized due to its flexibility and the programming interface. Workflows are optimized due to this open working environment. From initial planning and design to assembly, ProStructures is a comprehensive software built by engineers experienced with design.
