Rebar Detailing Software

ideCAD integrates rebar detailing with structural analysis, reinforced-concrete design, reinforcement design, and structural detailing in one coordinated structural BIM model.

Create and manage reinforcement details for slabs, beams, columns, shear walls, and foundations directly from the structural model, while keeping analysis, design, detailing, drawings, and schedules connected throughout the workflow.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) in ideCAD Structural supports an integrated workflow from structural analysis and concrete design through reinforcement detailing and documentation.

Generate bar list schedules directly from the structural BIM model. Rebar marks, sizes, quantities, and placement information stay coordinated with the reinforcement detailing and documentation workflow. 

Automatically assign and manage rebar marks across reinforced-concrete elements. Keep reinforcement numbering coordinated between model views, sections, drawings, and schedules throughout the detailing workflow. 

Automatically generate bar bending schedules directly from the modeled reinforcement. Rebar marks, bar shapes, dimensions, quantities, and bending information are organized in coordinated schedules for reinforced-concrete detailing, shop drawings, and documentation. As reinforcement changes in the model, the schedules remain connected to the detailing workflow, helping reduce manual updates and inconsistencies between drawings and schedules.

Automatically calculate reinforcement quantities directly from the modeled rebar, including bar counts, diameters, lengths, shapes, and reinforcement weights. Quantity information can be organized by rebar type and size to support reinforced-concrete detailing, documentation, and material reporting.

Because the quantities are derived from the reinforcement model, updates to rebar geometry and detailing are reflected in the quantity information, helping maintain consistency between the model, drawings, schedules, and reinforcement reports throughout the design and detailing workflow.

Visualize reinforcement in 3D directly within the structural BIM model to review bar placement, spacing, anchorage, intersections, and reinforcement arrangements before producing final drawings and schedules. The 3D rebar view helps engineers and detailers understand how reinforcement is positioned within beams, columns, slabs, walls, and foundations, especially at congested joints and other complex reinforcement zones.

Because the reinforcement is part of the coordinated structural model, the 3D view supports a clearer review of detailing conditions and helps identify potential inconsistencies between reinforcement geometry, structural elements, and the resulting documentation. This provides a more direct connection between reinforcement design, rebar detailing, drawings, schedules, and the final structural BIM model.

Create slab reinforcement layouts directly from the structural model, including top and bottom reinforcement, support zones, openings, and continuity of reinforcement across slab panels. Review slab reinforcement along with beams, columns, walls, and other supporting elements to ensure the detailing is coordinated with the building geometry.

Slab detailing in ideCAD remains integrated with the reinforced-concrete design workflow, helping engineers transition from slab design results to reinforcement drawings, schedules, and documentation within the same structural BIM model.

Detail beam reinforcement with longitudinal bars, stirrups, support reinforcement, anchorage, lap regions, and section information generated from the structural model. Beam detailing can be reviewed along the member length and at critical support and joint regions before final drawings and schedules are produced.

Because beam design and reinforcement detailing are handled in the same workflow, the reinforcement information stays connected to the beam geometry, design requirements, drawings, and bar schedules as the project develops.

Detail column reinforcement with longitudinal bars, ties, confinement reinforcement, lap zones, splice locations, and section information coordinated across the full column height. Review reinforcement arrangements story by story and at beam-column joints, where changes in section size, reinforcement ratio, and bar continuity can complicate detailing.

Column reinforcement in ideCAD remains connected to the structural model and reinforced-concrete design data, allowing detailing information to follow changes in column geometry and reinforcement requirements without treating each drawing as an isolated document. This helps keep column sections, elevations, bar marks, schedules, and reinforcement documentation consistent as the building design develops.

Detail shear wall reinforcement with vertical and horizontal bars, boundary-zone reinforcement, confinement requirements, lap regions, and reinforcement continuity coordinated over the full wall height. Review wall elevations and reinforcement distributions together with openings, floor levels, coupling regions, and adjoining structural elements, where detailing conditions can become more demanding.

Shear wall reinforcement in ideCAD remains linked to the structural model and reinforced-concrete design information, allowing detailing to reflect changes in wall geometry, thickness, boundary conditions, and reinforcement requirements as the design evolves. This helps maintain consistency between wall elevations, sections, bar marks, schedules, and reinforcement documentation throughout the project.

Detail wall stack reinforcement across multiple connected wall segments while maintaining continuity through story transitions, intersections, and changes in wall geometry. Coordinate vertical and horizontal reinforcement, boundary regions, lap zones, and section information for wall groups that continue through several levels of the building.

In ideCAD, wall stack detailing remains connected to the structural model and reinforced-concrete design information, making it easier to review how reinforcement changes from one story to the next. This helps keep wall elevations, sections, bar marks, and schedules coordinated for complex wall configurations throughout the detailing process.
