Civil Analysis & Rebar software
Reinforcement detailing, rebar schedules and civil analysis productivity tools.
Picking rebar detailing software
Reinforcement drawings are nobody's favourite job. Last thing on the list, first thing the site complains about. ADFER and ADCOF 2026 go straight at that. Rebar drawing and scheduling, inside the CAD program you already have open.
ADFER is the AutoCAD and BricsCAD plugin. Sections, formwork, elevations, generated rather than drawn by hand. Custom bars, steel elements, frames, stirrups, all from the ribbon. ADCOF handles the paperwork. Schedules and weight tables appear instantly, worked out to Eurocode 2, BAEL and the other standards in the engine.
You feel it most on repetition. Columns, beams, walls, slabs, same detailing rules over and over. Nail the first one, then let the plugin run the pattern. On a busy job that's a week of bar schedules compressed into an afternoon. Sounds like marketing. It isn't.
Two checks before you buy. Your AutoCAD release, 2018 through 2025 and newer, plus ZWCAD and BricsCAD. And who's actually drawing. It's per workstation, so three detailers want the three-seat package, not one licence passed around.
