Reuse of Knowledge
All documents and
calculations created with VCmaster can be searched
for, called up and reused for future use. VCmaster supports compiling
and managing individual libraries of calculation templates. Intelligent
search functions seek out recurring calculations or details and
guarantee quick retrieval of already thought out and realized tasks.
This
secures the continuous transfer and multiple use of valuable know-how.
New documents are created in a modular system based on pre-existing
templates. VCmaster's automation results in an immense amount of time
saved.
Template library
VCmaster contains hundreds of predefined macros. The
templates have an
inbuilt calculation capacity and offer specific solutions for the design
of structural elements in steel, timber, concrete and masonry
construction as well as mechanical and plant engineering. All templates
can be expanded, combined and adapted to individual requirements.
Intelligent
databases contain thousands of characteristic values for components,
profiles, coefficients and materials. The determination of such
calculation parameters is fully automated.
Future-oriented concept
VCmaster's
basic principle of compiling complete documentations in a single
digital file is becoming increasingly important. Current trends, like working in task forces or employing freelancers, require a safe and easy way of digitally exchanging information. Modern facility management already demands digital structure planning documents. In the near future the concept of electronic building applications will
also require digital documents.
The
t2W-interface is capable of merging numerous types of external data into one single document, with the benefit of a consistent appearance. Completing VCmaster's concept of managing and editing complete structural analyses in a single consistent digital document in an almost revolutionary way.
