SolidStructural v. 7. New features
|
Weld Moment connections: Beam-to-beam and beam-to-column skewed and straight framing conditions; auto detailing is provided. This type of connection is extremely difficult to perform using graphical input, as do the other 3D steel detailing programs (beveling flanges manually, complicated navigation, adding backing bars in manual regime etc.). SolidStructural offers very simple input in ‘Beam Edit’ form (as shown below). The rest is in auto regime.
|
|
||
|
Plates welded to bottom flange of the beam: Attachment of plates to bottom flange of the beam. Options: define type of weld; offset of plate from centerline of member; assign distance from the left end of beam. This type of connection usually is ignored by other 3D steel software. SolidStructural gives at your disposal convenient input and Auto detailing for this type of connection. |
|
||
|
Beam Flange Preparation: SolidStructural handled this type of beam end preparation since release 2. In new release added auto dimensioning and annotating in drawings of piece details. The user can specify the size and type of cut operation (cut wide or cut flush). |
|
|
|
|
User-Auto parameters: In new release user or auto parameters can be assigned for clip angles OSL center-to-center distance, flanges preparation, column base plate weld size and sizes of copes. |
|||
|
Erection drawings enhancement: SolidStructural v.7 provides more capabilities and options for better performance of erection drawings and grids: moment connection symbols added automatically; bubbles representing lines of grid can be shown on both sides; more information in specifying bearing plates and base plates and others. |
|||
|
Other improvements: In new release advanced technology was used for Auto detailing: expanded number of blocks with attributes; attachment leaders to the blocks and others. The users of SolidStructural can easily copy dozens of drawings with attached XReferences to different location (regular AutoCAD eTransmit command or Express Tools can offer you transferring only one file with Xreference at a time). In respond to users’ of SolidStructural requirements the new option for transferring reports to MS Excel an MS Word was added. Besides new release of SolidStructural the users will get the new version of QuickViewPort: advanced program for adding PaperSpace ViewPorts (effective tool for composing sheets).
And last but not least: SolidStructural has new interface:
