Overview of IMPACT
Overview of IMPACT

• Database is separated
into design and
detailing parts.
• You can create precast
elements through
different functionalities
such as AutoCAD,
Bricscad. Also, in Revit.
• You can bring models
from Tekla. Also, create
IFC and xml files.

Advantages of IMPACT design calculation 
Hollow Core Design and Calculations
Methods of calculations
•
 Basic Calculations in Project Management Tool
•
Advance calculations in IMPACT AutoCAD/BricsCAD
•
Very advance and detailed calculation – PreStress Software

• Impact export the data to Prestress

• Prestress perform calculation
• Prestress send back result and report
• Impact import and show results
• All this happen automatically in background
Calculations in Project Manager
Steps as follows:
●
Activate calculation module
●
Right click on particular floor tab, and
select open in calculation view
●
Then go to calculation menu and
calculation view tab
●
Then select a load, concrete grade
●
Select HCS and run calculation
●
HCS with green color shows its passing
and one with red color shows failing.
Calculations in IMPACT BricsCAD
Steps as follows:
●
Open floor drawing and go to
calculation tab
●
Apply point/line/ surface load
wherever required
●
Add load combinations
●
Then perform calculation
●
HCS with blue color text shows its
passing and one with red color shows
failing.
Calculations in PreStress
Steps as follows:
●
Open PM and go to calculation tab
●
Select HCS which we need to design in
Prestress
●
Click on tab Open Selection in PRE-Stress
●
So data will be exported and Prestress file will
be created
Advantages of Calculations in PM/BricsCAD
●
Time saver as no double modelling is required to verify HCS
●
Initial checks can be easily performed to get HCS sizes
●
Representation is easy with Design Reports
●
Can easily apply from BricsCAD itself any kind of line, point or
surface loads

Rough and Fine planning of Hollowcore

IMPACT enables a complete overview of your project and planning resources. It also
incorporates planning of cast, stack, and transport planning with element status, which
allows for complete control of the progress and easy tracking of each project and/or
element. Build your factory with cast units, storages, stacks and transport vehicles.
Erection Planning
Erection sequence according to requirement of Client / Contractor who needs the
information
Crane Location Planning
• We choose to insert a crane to control the lifting capacity of all elements we draw.
• All elements that drawn will be checked against the crane’s capacity
Simulate the Erection sequence
Check the desired Erection sequence
Cast Planning
• Through IMPACT Cast Planning module, elements can be assigned to cast units (beds,
tables or pallets). 
• There are two different views where we can insert the element:
• Calendar view and Detailed View
Stack Planning
• The basic idea behind the stack module is to enable the user to stack their elements so
that these stacks can be prepared to be loaded onto a truck.
• The Stack Planning module enables the user to define how the elements are to be stacked
Transport Planning
• The Transport Planning module is where transports are planned and monitored.
• Transport planning does not require the use of stacks before planning the elements on
transport. However, stacking elements before loading them onto a transport can have
definite benefits in many cases
IMPACT Go for IOS and Android
• This is amazing feature of Impact
• Using Impact Go application on Android and IOS
• Scan the QR tag and access the android /IOS
• Set the storage location. Element control from anywhere
Take away from the session
• Monitoring and Tracking is easy
• Mobile App
• Shop drawings
• Less rework and less chances of mistakes
• Cloud based environment
• User Friendly
• Implementation and handholding Support
