Importing CEDRUS data

Module(s): CEDRUS

You can use the Import CEDRUS Data tool to import files generated by the FEA application CEDRUS into Allplan. You can display the data in these files using the Reinforcement Contours tool as an aid during reinforcement work or you can use it to interactively apply reinforcement using the FEA Reinforcement Color Image tool.
In addition, this data can serve as the basis for automatic area reinforcement in the Bar Reinforcement module and for creating reinforcement using the BAMTEC technology. If the FEA program provides the advanced interfaces required, you can use this data to perform punching shear analyses in the HALFEN DEHA module and harness the advantages of having the bending tension reinforcement increased automatically.
