Architectural and structural design

Architectural and structural design

Nemetschek Allplan is a system of architectural and structural design, which implements an integrated approach to architectural and structural design. The program includes the following modules:

  1. “Allplan Architecture PRO” – for development of the architectural and construction part of the project;
  2. “Allplan Engineering Systems” – allows you to lay engineering networks on the building.
  3. “Allplan Reinforced Concrete PRO” – for conducting reinforcement of a given element, calculation of formwork, getting volumes of concrete.

After completing the course you will be able to

  • know the interface and basic functions of Allplan;
  • build complex architectural forms;
  • design single- and multi-level rooms;
  • process design documentation;
  • create terrain using a digital terrain model;
  • create your own model libraries;
  • reinforce concrete structures;
  • create calculations and estimates;
  • import/export to other CAD programs;
  • simulate sunlight in accordance with the geographic coordinates of the project and the time of day;
  • visualize projects according to the master plan and visually determine insolation of construction objects;
  • create high quality video clips;
  • use the program’s networking features.
