Freedom and precision in modelling
Allplan
has introduced the new version
of its BIM software for architects and
engineers. Equipped with powerful tools,
Allplan 2016 increases flexibility in 3D
modelling and supports efficient and intui-
tive workflows. One of the highlights is the
integration of the Parasolid software 3D
modelling kernel developed by Siemens’
product lifecycle management (PLM) soft-
ware business.
It gives users greater freedom and
precision in creating volume and surface
models, as well as in modelling of engi-
neering works. With many improvements
to the user interface, the new version also
ensures smooth workflows. “Our custom-
ers face the challenge of designing and
constructing increasingly sophisticated
structures with ever more demanding
time and cost pressures. We want to help
them realise their creative and innovative
concepts” says Dr Jörg Rahmer, general
manager of Allplan. “With Allplan 2016,
we have a powerful piece of technology
at our disposal. Integration of the Para-
solid modelling kernel from Siemens PLM
Software is an important milestone in the
consistent further development of Allplan
in the areas of modelling and visualization.
As the leading vendor of BIM solutions, our
efficient workflows allow our customers
to implement their BIM projects and help
them provide greater transparency and
cost security in design,” Rahmer continues.
With the integration of the Parasolid
modelling kernel from Siemens PLM Soft-
ware, Allplan is matching the general trend
towards increasingly free-form solids in
modern architecture.
In practice, this means that architects
need design software that they can use to
create freeform solids down to the last de-
tail and integrate with the design process.
The new 3D kernel inAllplanArchitecture
2016 provides a new level of flexibility and
precision when creating these structures:
The new version makes it easier to modify
3D objects and improves the representation
quality in the animation window.
