As a CRH company, Heembeton supplies complete concrete shells on behalf of several construction companies. Heembeton is mainly active in the housing and apartment construction industry. Heembeton has two production locations, each with its own specifications, freedoms and preconditions. CADblanche has been asked by Heembeton to carry out a feasibility study for the AutoCasco development process. CADblanche was also asked to turn their advise into reality. The various assignments related to the optimization of the software applications developed by third parties in the past, the development of the RebarDesigner on Tekla and the development of the automated AutoCasco process for their building concept.
CADblanche has set up and optimized the CADblanche RebarDesigner for Tekla based on a defined scope at Heembeton. This allows the engineering department to generate reinforcement in wall elements, each with its own specifications, freedoms and preconditions. The reinforcement configuration remains flexible for the user to change. By definition, all production data is immediately validated and ready for export to production if the object falls within the preconditions of the building concept. The RebarDesigner can be expanded to more situations and will eventually complement the total AutoCasco process. This fits in seamlessly with the philosophy of including business logic in the algorithm of the tool.
"Thanks to a good collaboration, we now have the RebarDesigner with which we can immediately reinforce walls correctly."
