How to Integrate Precast Prestressed Concrete Design with BIM-How to Integrate Precast Prestressed Concrete Design with BIM Webinar

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is the recording of a webinar titled "How to Integrate Precast Pre-Stressed Concrete Design with BIM," sponsored by Ericsson Software. The webinar is hosted by Royce Covington, Manager of Member Services at PCI, and he introduces the presenters: Roy Erickson, President and CEO of Erickson Software, Jeremy Castello, Lead Engineer at Erickson Software, and Justin Callahan, Software Developer at Erickson Software.<br /><br />The presenters discuss how Ericsson Sync, a software developed by Erickson Software, can be used to integrate precast pre-stressed concrete design with BIM (Building Information Modeling). They explain that Sync allows engineers to directly interface with the BIM model, eliminating the need for manual communication and reducing errors. It streamlines the design and detailing process by pulling true concrete extents, geometries, and reinforcement from the BIM model and populating the design software accordingly. The presenters demonstrate the use of Sync in various scenarios, including designing wall panels, reinforcing double T beams, and creating assemblies.<br /><br />They also discuss other features of Sync, such as the family map, which allows users to link their custom families with Sync, and the placement options for reinforcement, including datums, mirroring, and rounding. The presenters emphasize the benefits of using Sync, including time savings, improved collaboration, and reduced errors in the design and detailing process.<br /><br />The webinar concludes with instructions on how to contact Erickson Software for further information and technical details.
