1
Define Slab Contours
- • Slab outline, openings, recesses
- • Generate base reinforcement and additional reinforcement as usual
SBeXpress Module T
SBexpress - BAMTEC
The BAMTEC module streamlines carpet reinforcement design, automates production-ready outputs, and integrates fully with AutoCAD.
3-Step Workflow
Base reinforcement layout
2
Define Carpet Contours
- • Manually or automatically generate based on cuttings and overlaps
Cuttings and overlap zones
3
Generate Carpets
- • Convert traditional reinforcement into carpet layout
- • Automatic slab decomposition into carpets
- • Compose carpets based on carpet contours and punched-out reinforcement
- • Fix production issues: bar spacing, single-strap bars, bar ends
- • Lock or manually bind bars if needed
Composed carpets
Key Features
CAD Integration
Bar laying
- • Simple, intuitive usage; most design objects derived from AutoCAD polylines
- • Simple AutoCAD commands work for complex reinforcement and formwork objects
- • Intelligent grip points and easy modification of slabs, carpets, and reinforcement
- • Any scale possible
- • Flexible, highly customizable visualization
- • Customizable labeling based on format strings
- • Design in model space; plansheets in paperspace with viewport-dependent content
Settings
BAMTEC Features
- • Comprehensive settings, multi-slab support
- • Supports multiple standards and intelligent plan/label texts
- • No limitations on reinforcement or geometry
- • Displaced bar overlaps and building sections
- • Flexible schedules, filterable by reinforcement layer or building section
FEM Integration
- • ASF file import, merging, and export
- • Automatic additional reinforcement based on ASF files or DXF level lines
FEM
Production file
