Eptar Reinforcement in ArchiCAD 26

A recent case study from a Brazilian engineering firm used to detail the shear walls and coupling beams of a 30-story tower. eptar reinforcement archicad 26

  • Location: Once loaded, the Eptar tools usually appear in the Design menu and as a custom Toolbar/Palette.
    • EPTAR reinforcement: assumed to denote a reinforcement specification/system (bar types, meshes, anchorage, hooks, lap splices, schedules, design rules).
    • Goals: accurately model reinforcement in structural elements (slabs, beams, columns, walls, foundations), produce fabrication/placement drawings, generate bar schedules and quantities, and enable exchange with analysis/design tools (BIM-to-structural-engineering workflows).

    Recommendation:

    Firms engaged in detailed reinforced concrete projects on Archicad 26 should consider EPTAR Reinforcement an essential addition to their software stack to improve documentation quality and modeling efficiency. Éptár Reinforcement is a specialized add-on for Archicad

    ArchiCAD 26 Specifics

    : In ArchiCAD 26 and newer, reinforcement layers are automatically organized into a dedicated Reinforcement folder , enhancing project organization compared to legacy versions.

    • Use the "Stirrup" tool.
    • Define the shape (closed, open, multi-leg).
    • Set spacing intervals.
    • Note: You can define different spacing zones along the beam length (e.g., denser spacing near supports).
