Renga Structural is a comprehensive BIM system designed for the architectural, structural design, and MEP engineering of buildings. It facilitates integrated design processes, allowing the information model created within Renga to be utilized across various stages of a construction project's life cycle. The software offers highly efficient reinforcing tools, including an Automated Reinforcement feature that significantly speeds up rebar distribution in cast reinforced concrete elements and generates drawings with minimal effort. It also supports automatic steel reinforcement of holes and openings in floors and walls, with reinforcement analysis dynamically adjusting to changes in the building's structural design.
Users can design steel structures and facilities of any complexity using Renga's assembly tool for creating trusses, columns, and other components. The software includes 3D snaps and a 3D measure mode for enhanced accuracy and speed in placing structural elements. A profile editor allows for the creation of custom steel structure profiles within minutes, eliminating the need to search for non-standard elements online.
Renga fosters better communication among project members by enabling structural engineers, architects, and MEP engineers to collaborate within a single environment using the same 3D model. This real-time tracking of changes reduces discrepancies between models and shortens approval cycles. The system also automates scheduling by linking schedules directly to the Renga designs, generating them based on assigned digital and user data for structural elements.
Automatic drawing generation is a key benefit, with Renga automating the creation of structural steel, reinforced concrete, and architectural drawings. Modifications to the 3D model are instantly reflected in all associated construction documents, including plans, layouts, joints, and schedules. The software supports preconstruction project visualization, allowing structural engineers to visually detect and eliminate clashes early in the design phase. It promotes 3D object-oriented design over 2D drafting, providing geometric parameters and digital data for all model elements, with the Style Editor allowing for universal modifications. Furthermore, Renga facilitates data preparation for analysis software by exporting models to IFC format for use in structural analysis tools like LIRA-SAPR and SCAD Office. Documents generated by Renga comply with Russian and International Standards (SPDS and ISO).
