PASCHAL-Plan light PPL 10.0 further optimised

These improvements were based on the practical experience of PASCHAL application engineering.
PPL version 10.0 features a cloud connection, 3D visualisation and the slab formwork module for insitu concrete slabs and filigree slab panels.

The "Slab formwork" module allows insitu concrete slabs to be created automatically. At the same time, the support structure can be dimensioned using DIN EN 12812 as a calculation basis.

Projectable construction successes

The PPL 10.0 formwork software supports the entire construction phase throughout the concrete engineering project and also manages materials using the "Warehouse" module.

As such, PASCHAL-Plan light PPL 10.0 provides users with an even simpler software solution with extensive import and export interfaces which generates fully automated solutions on the basis of simple input functions and supports actively construction companies in their day-to-day business operations.

In order to optimise formwork use and manage the formwork equipment required, PPL version 10.0 includes two main modules, "Design" and "Warehouse".

3D models can be created quickly and easily using the Design module. Optimised formwork suggestions can then be prepared fully automatically and modified manually if necessary.
The material list is generated at the touch of a button and can be made available for further processed in other systems.

With the Warehouse module the formwork inventory is managed in a transparent manner at the construction site and the warehouse.

Based on JAVA technology, PPL 10.0 is cross-platform software which is also compatible with both Windows and Mac computers. The software can be installed locally and is also available as a web-based version.

The "Transparent" function in the "Design" module enables everything behind the formwork to be displayed.  As such, all installations and fillers can be visually captured. 

The new functions at a glance:

"Design" module

• 3D visualisation
• Interfaces for import and export
• Extended layout input (gable walls, slopes on the upper side of walls or floor slabs)
• Integrated CAD functions
• Several formwork systems can be used in one project
• Dynamic material list available

"Warehouse" module

• Complete warehouse management (formwork, building equipment, construction machines, accessories etc.)
• Clear site management (delivery, return, stock controls)

Software technology

The PPL 10.0 software is Java-based and 64 bit compatible. It is fully functional on both Windows and Mac computers and can be installed on the common operating systems Windows, Linux, Unix and OS X. The web version of this software can also be used on mobile terminals.

With the aid of the plan manager, clear formwork plans can be generated for use on construction sites. All the necessary formwork elements are shown orthogonally and in 3D.
