Ultra Fast 3D Modelling
Structural modelling takes up a considerable amount of time during the project life cycle.
In R/C Building 2009, we improved the CAD importing feature. Now most of the structural elements (wall, column, slab geometry, void, beam etc.) can be imported without any preparation in the drawing, and the accuracy of the element coordinates will be reserved.
Also, like SLABS 2009, R/C Building 2009 now features a new modelling concept: geometry line modelling. This allows slab panels (floors) or voids of any shape to be created or imported effortlessly. See here how the concept works. We refined our Finite Element Meshing algorithm so that it will support this type of irregular shape geometries.
We introduced many editing tools to make the modelling process faster, such as auto align element, copy to floors, redo-undo, etc.. Also, a Link program is developed to allow a model constructed in REVIT Structure 2010 to be exported directly to R/C Building 2009, with minimal effort.

All these mentioned greatly cut down the modelling time. Some client testimonials offer a glimps of the astounding results that R/C Building 2009 creats.

With all so many structural building analysis software out there, R/C Building stands out as the one that has the leanest tool sets to master, yet provides the engineers with the powerful and sufficient tools to complete their design job.
Using R/C Building 2009, user can construct a model in a matter of a day or two, saving the valuable time to review the structure and modify the design based on the comprehensive results the software produces.
