Advance Concrete 2009
On March 27th 2009 GRAITEC launched the latest version of Advance Concrete: 2009
Aimed at concrete construction and design offices, Advance Concrete 2009 is an AutoCAD® based application that enables the modeling (2D / 3D) of concrete structures and the automatic creation of formwork / reinforcement drawings and bill of materials.

What’s new in Advance Concrete 2009
Collaborative work, interactive 3D model, detailed finishing touches etc. The innovations of the 2009 release significantly improve both the productivity and efficiency of design offices.
1. Collaborative work and performance improvements
A revolution for users, the 3D model of the structure can now be created by a team of draftsmen with the multi-user functionality.
Each user can extract from the database a set of floors onto which they can work (creation, modification, deletion of elements). At any time, they have the possibility to make their work available to other members of the group. In addition, each user can update his own workspace to view how the model is progressing.
Also, the loading speed of files and browsing in the Pilot has been optimized giving the Design Office the ability to handle large projects in the best conditions.
2. Faster creation of reinforcement drawings
First, users can choose the reinforcement style to apply to the structural elements directly within the 3D model. After entering the parameters (bars diameter, spaces etc.), Advance Concrete then recognizes identical structural elements and counts them to directly produce the reinforcement drawings.
Then, the "3D power" technology makes all reinforcement views interactive. Thus the software is able to link and manage all the reinforcement views of the drawing during the creation and/or the modification phases. It is also possible to generate new views from existing reinforcement views. The automatic representation of reinforcement ensures productivity gains and the consistency of the final drawing.
3. Detailed finishing touches
Advance Concrete 2009 comes with a lot of new features to make the job easier for draftsmen: detailed finishing touches of the associative dimensions and the level dimensions, integration of new representations of fabrics for the French market, etc. Another example is that the section distribution function which is already highly valued has been greatly improved.
Many other new features are also available. With the modeler, it is possible to instantly create new 3D objects by associating ACIS solids made with AutoCAD® to Advance structural elements. These objects then have Advance properties to be fully integrated to the drawings and bill of materials.

Advance Concrete compliancy
100% AutoCAD®! Advance Concrete uses Object ARX to its fullest potential. This advanced Autodesk technology provides users with professional objects such as beams, columns, bars perfectly integrated into AutoCAD® on which most standard functions can be applied (copy, paste, extend, trim, stretch, etc.). The native file format of Advance suites is a 100% Autodesk compliant DWG file that may be used on any AutoCAD® station.
GRAITEC is an ADN (Autodesk Application Developer) since 1997 and a UAR (Unique Application Reseller) since 2001.
