Advanced Training
 
Discover the BIM solution for Structural Engineering Design at the Allplan courses. Seize the opportunity to become more efficient by learning to use the highly precise and reliable Allplan BIM planning software for structural engineering students and graduates. 
 
Smartparts and Python parts are intelligent parametric objects that allow easy modification and customisation in order to increase productivity with regards to changes that occur in any project.
 
OBJECTIVES 
 
This training is accesible also to beginners but in order to understand  all essential tools it is important to first follow a basic course. In order to become a proficient user of Allplan, we strongly recommend that you use what you learn in a personal project, either on your own or by joining an Consultancy/Project Training course. The main purpose of the Engineering Advanced course is to get participants use parametric objects BIM workflow.
 
The basic training will cover the entire workflow from initial 2D drawings to 3D reinforcement and bill of material.
By the end of the training session, each student will be able to:
 
 Create and modify 2D elements
 Use prebuilt Python Parts & Smartparts
 Use PP Editor and PP Interpretor
 Organise a precast hall project
 Generate and adapt 3D reinforcement
 Generate associative views, sections and bills of quantities from the 3D model
 Reinforce the 3D structural precast elements (girders, columns, walls, staircases, etc.)
 Create Formwork Drawings
 Create reinforcement drawings and bending schedules
 Import / export from and to various formats.
