What Is ProConcrete?
ProConcrete is a versatile tool catering to structural engineers, designers, detailers, and fabricators, facilitating the modeling of parametric reinforced concrete objects of any shape, with flexible combinations of reinforcement. It simplifies the creation of concrete structures across diverse industries, including building, plant, civil, and bridges. ProConcrete significantly reduces documentation production time and minimizes errors and design flaws. Users can swiftly generate precise 3D models, placement drawings, fabrication details, bar bending schedules, concrete quantity, and material reports, with automatic updates to reflect model modifications. Integrated within ProStructures alongside ProSteel, ProConcrete offers enhanced productivity and profitability for users.
The SELECT® CONNECT Edition includes SELECT CONNECT services, new Azurebased services that provide comprehensive learning, mobility, and collaboration benefits to every Bentley application subscriber. Adaptive Learning Services helps users master use of Bentley applications through CONNECT Advisor, a new in-application service that provides contextual and personalized learning. Personal Mobility Services provides unlimited access to Bentley apps, ensuring users have access to the right project information when and where they need it. ProjectWise® Connection Services allow users to securely share application and project information, to manage and resolve issues, and to create, send, and receive transmittals, submittals, and RFIs.
ProConcrete allows you to model any reinforced concrete shape with advanced parametric capabilities. Using intuitive reinforced concrete modeling commands, you can easily model industry standard structural members, such as beams, columns, slabs, walls, and foundations, as well as complex reinforced concrete shapes including curves, sloping, or non-orthogonal shapes. Added steel reinforcement is attached to concrete objects and updates automatically as the concrete shape changes.
ProConcrete drawings, bills of materials, and bar bending schedules are produced directly from the 3D model. Plans, sections, and details based on user defined drawing styles can be created from any view direction and are dynamically updated following changes to the model. Barbending schedules and material takeoffs are easy to extract from the 3D model and are highly customizable to conform with any country or company standard. This substantially reduces the time to produce documentation and virtually eliminates errors and design flaws.
Information modeling process is based on exchanging data among project participants to assure best quality and faster delivery. ProConcrete allows for seamless collaboration and exchange of information with other disciplines including architectural, plant and process, HVAC, and services. Reinforcing concrete models from other solutions like AECOsim Building Designer, OpenBridge Modeler, and MicroStation® is made easy by enabling reinforcement modeling in models attached as references. Collaboration with engineers who use third-party solutions like Autodesk Revit or Tekla Structures is enabled through industry standard formats, including IFC (Industry Foundation Class). Reinforcement models can then be transferred digitally to rebar manufacturers for fabrication and rebar placers for construction, which allows users to manage their day-to-day work with digital data and 3D models, vastly improving efficiency.
