StruBIM Rebar

Exporting to the BVBS format

Project rebars can now be exported in the BVBS interchange format. The BIMserver.center export panel includes two options:

  • BVBS (Complete)
    Generates a single file with all rebars.

  • BVBS (Elements)
    Generates a file for each of the project elements.

Exporting bars from the StruBIM Embedded Walls and StruBIM Deep Beams programs to the BIM model

The StruBIM Embedded Walls and StruBIM Deep Beams programs export the reinforcement of the structural elements they consider to the BIM model. They can now be imported by the StruBIM Rebar program to produce the joint BIM model of the reinforcement from these and other programs.

The programs that currently export bars corresponding to the reinforcement are the following:

  • CYPECAD
  • StruBIM Shear Walls
  • StruBIM Embedded Walls
  • StruBIM Deep Beams

General improvements

Version 2021.g of CYPE’s programs is a closing version of the 2021 version.

As well as the new features and improvements expressly indicated in each version of CYPE software, process optimisation involving internal updates for all our programs is normally included. In each revision, all programs are systematically checked and changes are made to improve their performance, therefore, we recommend that our users (in this case those of v.2021) always update their version to the latest one, regardless of the country for which they are using CYPE software or the language in which it is installed.

Available installation languages

As of the 2021.e version, StruBIM Rebar can be installed in Catalan, English, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. In previous versions, the program could only be installed in English and Spanish.

New types of horizontal reinforcement

Two new types of horizontal reinforcement at segment ends have been implemented:

  • Extend with “L” anchor
  • Extend with hook

StruBIM Rebar (new program)

"StruBIM Rebar" is a program designed to carry out the BIM model of reinforcement in reinforced concrete structural elements.

In this first version, the program imports the information on shear walls and rectangular footings with constant depth, from a BIM project located on the BIMserver.center platform.

Additionally, "StruBIM Rebar" has generation wizards available for the indicated structural elements (so they can be included in the program even if they are not present in the BIM project) and other elements that cannot yet be imported in this first version (strip footings and strap and tie beams).

"StruBIM Rebar" can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform and installed in English or Spanish.
