Software for Precast Structures

Key benefits

StruSoft is an innovative Swedish software company with skilled software development

knowledge and more than 30 years of experience within software development for the
building industry.

A large world-wide customer base of precast factories and consultants using IMPACT
Precast.

Many consultants are using IMPACT Precast, and this increases the possibilities to work
together. StruSoft has established its own engineering and service company in 2011
StruEngineers in Pune in India. See www.struengineers.com. StruEngineers uses IMPACT
Precast in real customer projects.

StruSoft has experienced technical support at StruSofts company (StruSoft FZE) in the
U.A.E., at our branch office (Strusoft UK) in London, United Kingdom and at our Head Office
in Malmo, Sweden.

StruSoft is also developing software for structural engineering calculations (FEM-Design,

WIN-Statik and PRE-Stress) which can be fully used for precast design.

IMPACT Precast is built on AutoCAD and Revit Structure, which is almost de facto standard
within the building industry.

Technical Features

The Factory Standard is easy to setup and distribute.

o

The Factory Standard is a complete set of templates, set-ups, rules, etc.

The

Company Standard also includes information of components (beam types, electric

pipes, etc.), symbols and cranes.

IMPACT Precast has an Open Database, it is easy to integrate IMPACT Precast to other
systems.
o

The IMPACT server is easy to install and is built on Microsoft SQL Server.

Multi user system, several users can work on the same project.
o

The users can share the whole or part of the projects elements, components,
drawings, etc. between each other. This is mandatory to be able to exchange
information on the same project between consultants, and precast factories.

Element marking and unique ID.

For each project it is possible to select how the element marking shall be done. The
elements ID is unique and is automatically set by the system. This is important when
integrating IMPACT Precast to Planning Software.

Drawings (floor, elevation and production) on AutoCAD and Revit Structure.

o

A Revit Structure model can be imported and synchronized with the IMPACT Precast
model. Information on floor, elevation and production drawings are automatically
updated if anything has been changed in the model.

Configuration Tools (Administrative Tools).

o

In Administrative Tools, the configuration of the factory standard is setup. The

standard can be distributed to consultants or others working in the same project.

IMPACT Project Manager.

o

In Project Manager, a full view of the project from early design to delivery and
assembly is given. The DWG-Viewer shows the 3D-model and shop drawings.

Properties for each element can be viewed and material lists can be generated for
each building, floor, and assembly sequence. Reports and drawing can be generated
for approval.

Export to ERP and Machine Control Systems.

The Project Manager has an general interface to ERP-system, which is easy to configure.
The interface to robots and machines are based on Unitechnik standard formats.

Reduced design time.

o

By using IMPACT Precast, the design time is reduced a lot compared to using
standard AutoCAD. This leads to that lead-time is reduced as well and increased
quality of produced elements. IMPACT Precast generates all shop drawings
automatically including dimensions and control of changes.

Integrated analysis and design.

o

FEM-Design can import an IMPACT Precast model for analysis and design.

Analysis and design of Hollow Core elements can be done with PRE-Stress which is
fully integrated to IMPACT Precast.

Small and big models.

o

IMPACT Precast can handle both small and big projects (models).

Easy to use.
o

IMPACT Precast is easy to use and is built on the most common software in the
building industry, AutoCAD and Revit Structure.
