hsbELEMENT

3D CAD/CAM for the design of Floor and Roof Elements

hsbELEMENT is the design module for carpenters, the prefabricated building industry and Offsite Construction which is integrated with the leading CAD platform today worldwide, AutoCAD. AutoCAD, a member of the Autodesk group, has over 5 million official licenses worldwide and are the market leaders for CAD design software.  Functions such as move, copy, rotate and mirror are only a matter of course.   AutoCAD is today integrated into many schools and unniversities and is fast becoming a technical knowledge condition in gaining employment.   Architectural Desktop (ADT), a family extension of AutoCAD, and contains additonal functionality for concept design, architectural  and planning design.   hsbELEMENT is completely integrated with AutoCAD and ADT, as a design platform that utilises all these familiar tools to make an easy and recognisable platform in any design discipline.

Target Group for hsbELEMENT

• Prefabrication of Roof and Floor Elements
• CNC Machine Data Requirement
• Bill of material Requirement

"all in one“...

• object oriented solution for 3D-CAD/CAM from
• architecture to cnc open and customisable CAD-System through
• AutoCAD® and Autodesk Architectural Desktop®
• 3D-solid-arx modelling
• Design dataflow (architectural design & manufacture design & production plan)
• Advanced editing of each single object (beams, sheets, tools)

library for elements

• 100% user defined library with dynamic details (details react
• automatically to different roof slopes and ceiling/floor geometries)
• define element zones (sheetings) and details for all edges of elements
• define tools within details (e.g. sawlines)

architecture

• design of floors, ceilings and roofs

production planning

• design floor/roof/ceiling with hsbFunctionality
• user defined layout for representation of floor/roof/ceiling elements

tools, edit-functions

• see hsbTIMBER

database

• see hsbTIMBER

 

output

• shop drawing
• clash detection for timbers and drill holes
• user defined bills of material based on ms access/excel/oracle
• CNC-data (e.g. Weinmann, Bautech, Hundegger)

data-format

• output format for wall-elements is *.dxa, an ASCI-format including
• total information of a floor/roof/ceiling element. *.dxa is utilised in creation CNC data, database output and production control

further notes

• works together with macros written in hsbTSL

compatible with

• hsbTIMBER, hsbWALL, hsbPANEL, hsbMS (Management System), hsbTRUSS

system requirements

• hsbTIMBER
• all further requirements see hsbTIMBER
