You can define the structural reference data either in the Catalog task or using the Microsoft Excel workbooks delivered in the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\Datafiles folder. See Structure Reference Data.

The structure reference data uses both two-dimensional and three-dimensional symbols. The 2-D symbols are used for member and wall cross-sections. For more information on creating 2-D symbols, see the 2D Symbols Help. The 3-D symbols are used to represent stairs, ladders, handrails, footings, and equipment foundations in the model. See Smart 3D Reference Data.

Most Structure part classes, the exceptions being plates and slabs, require special Smart Occurrence symbols and code be written before new unique part classes can be created in the Catalog. To create symbols, see Smart 3D Reference Data. To code, see the Intergraph Smart 3D Programmer's Help. You can also look at the delivered samples and use those as a starting point for your custom part classes.

Member Reference Data

  • The Structure > Materials Data node defines material grades and material grade properties.

  • The Structure > Objects > Connections > Logical Connections > Frame Connections node defines frame connections. Frame connections describe the positioning relationship between member systems.

  • The Structure > Objects > Connections > Assembly Connections node defines assembly connections that you can place using the Place Assembly Connection Command in the Structure task. Member assembly connections are similar to frame connections, but define the necessary trimming between member parts (copes and cutbacks) and the generation of parts such as base plates, gusset plates, clip angles, and column splices. See Frame Assembly Connections in Structure Help.

  • The Structure > Plates node contains the plates information used in the assembly connections.

  • The Structure > Objects > Connections > Logical Connections > Split Connections node defines split connections. Split connections describe the division of member systems into member parts.

  • The Structure > Objects > Insulation > Fireproofing node defines the encasement rules used in the Structure task Place Fireproofing Command. See also Fireproofing Insulation Encasement Rules.

  • There are several cross-section workbooks that define the geometry and engineering properties associated with member cross- sections. Workbooks that are not delivered with the software are available on the customer support web site. The current cross-section workbooks are:
