Arche : Structural Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Buildings and Automatic Production of Reinforcement Drawings

Arche : Structural analysis of reinforced concrete buildings


Since it was launched in 1993, Arche has become the reference software in Europe for designing and drawing reinforced concrete buildings. From a 3D model building comprising slabs, beams, columns, walls and foundations, Arche analyses the overall construction stability and automatically creates all the reinforcement drawings.

Arche Building Structure is provided with 3D CAD tools that allows the input and modeling of the structure elements


Arche Building Structure is a building simulation software that performs preliminary sizing while calculating load distribution, wind bracing and seismic analysis.



With Arche Building Structure it is possible to model all types of buildings; the 'level' work principle allows an easier input of elements on several storeys of the structure
    Integrated 3D CAD with a link to structures previously designed with Advance Concrete
   Preliminary sizing
   3D snow and wind load generator
    Analysis of load distribution and wind bracing combining traditional  methods and
       sophisticated digital modelling techniques
    Seismic analysis in modal dynamics
    Automatic production of calculation reports, bills of materials, reinforcement ratios
       and cost estimates
Analysis of different members of the structure (beams, columns, walls, slabs, footings...) and automatic generation of reinforcement drawings
The reinforcement drawing is automatically generated and displayed in Arche environment; the provided commands allow the interactive modification of the reinforcement Arche reinforcement modules are dedicated to design, analysis and automatic production of reinforcement drawings of the structural components (slabs, beams, columns, walls, foundations...).
After you define the geometry, loads and general assumptions, a simple mouse-click will give you the stress and strain curves in concrete and steel, the deflections and, of course... the reinforcement drawings!

  Construction specifications in accordance with earthquake resistance regulations
  Interactive modification of reinforcement and user warning system for non compliance with      standards.
  Integrated CAD for drawing modifications
  Export to Advance Concrete for reinforcement modifications

Professional analysis and optimization of concrete elements reinforcement
Arche also offers tools to analyse each section's geometric properties to conduct theoretical calculation and to produce lists of reinforcements. It also integrates a realistic rendering module.
