Features

VISKAR CLOUD Collaboration - Brings Teamwork, Transparency and Control*

  • VISKAR BIM provides easy options to collaborate with your teammates online.
  • Collaboration brings much-needed control to projects, and keeps everyone informed on live project status.
  • Errors identified in earlier modeling stages are easy to fix and will save time.
  • While one user is modeling concrete, another can model rebar and one more can generate drawings. All three users can be sitting in different time zones around the globe.

* BIM Server should be hosted by the customer

3D-Modelling-Object
geomentricediting

Geometric Editing of Parametric objects

  • VISKAR BIM uses the proprietary "Object Retention Algorithms" to ensure that any edit to an object is allowed only if the output is an "object".
  • The following geometric editing will work for all the objects
    Add edge to surface of the 3D object.
    Pull push - surface/edge/vertex.
    Modify - line edge to arc edge.
    Post tension ducts.
  • Exceptions
    Objects modeled using profiles in catalogue.
    Objects modeled using sections where "Geometric Editing" is disabled.
    Height of all the objects formed using extrude method can be modified.
    The path of an object formed using object - sweep - draw path can be modified.

Modifying Parametric Properties of Objects

  • Sections / Profiles can be changed.
  • Properties of a section can be modified.
  • Extrude direction, alignment points, offsets, rotation, etc. can be modified.
  • Material cannot be changed once modeled.
  • Class name, element name, etc. can be modified.

cutandopening

Cuts/Openings/Chamfer

  • Supports modeling multiple cuts /openings/chamfers on an object.
  • Cut objects can be modeled using 2D sections extrude or sweep methods.
  • Different sources of 2D sections supported:
    Pre-defined sections from Sections/ Catalogue Library.
    Existing closed polyline on the face of the object.
    Custom drawn section by the user.

Copying Objects

The following commands can be performed on objects:

  • Multiple copy.
  • Rectangular, polar, polar rotated array.
  • Mirror, mirror copy.

RebarandAutoDetailing

Rebar Modeling and Auto Detailing

VISAKR BIM provides "the fastest way to detail rebar that is practically error-free".

  • Rebar detailing is automated using proprietary "Rebar Detailing Intelligence." When typical rebar sections are applied to different concrete objects, they are automatically detailed to suit the surface and contour of the concrete object. The proprietary "Surface Recognition Algorithms" play a major role in automation.
  • Typical rebar sections available in library for commonly used elements.
  • Rebar sections automatically recognize the following and auto detail.
  • Concrete Countour and Surface
  • Concrete Cover
  • Rebar availability in other surfaces and layers
  • Rebar is automatically adjusted for modifications made to concrete objects.
  • Rebar automatically adds cuts for openings, and joins if openings are deleted.
  • Automatic lapping to stock, shipping and mill lengths or to specific locations.
  • Supports normal lap, crank lap and alternate staggering.
  • Various other useful parameters to adjust lapping to suit project requirements.
  • Couplers supported.
  • Normal bars, bundled bars and ties can be modeled.
  • Multiple spacing is supported.
  • Rebar hook values, bending values, etc. are automatically calculated as defined in the program.
  • Rebar properties can be changed for a whole set, for a run or for a single bar.
  • Rebar can be modeled from scratch in concrete and stored as a typical section for reuse.
  • Rebar modeled in one element can be copied to another element of a different shape.
  • "Apply properties" can be used to change the properties of selected rebar in one step.
  • “Point bars” option is given to model free rebar that are not affected by concrete object geometry, but are still associated to it.
