Modelling prestressing

Bogdan Majcherczyk — Wed, 05 May 2021 11:57:50 GMT

Is it possible to modell prestressing using OBD? Are there any predefined components (e.g. ducts, tendons, anchorages) available?

Duplicate (clone) entire member reinforcemet

Bogdan Majcherczyk — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 18:47:05 GMT

I'm looking for the efficient way to make a copy of all reinforcement for the concrete member. In my case it is a beam that need to be shifted and 180 degrees rotated. I have found a post refered to the similar issue but it is desribing possible approach for ProConcrete v8i version - PROSTRUCTURE REBAR (COPY, MIRROR, ROTATE) - ProConcrete Forum - ProStructures - Bentley Communities

How about CE version? I was tryinig moving rebars with both "Move rebar" command and standard Microstation "move" command. None of these tries have been sucessfull. And what about rotation? Is there any effective way for rebar rotating?

export ProConcrete to IFC with an extra data

Bogdan Majcherczyk — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 12:57:06 GMT

Hi,

I would like to add some „extra” information to the rebar definitions that will be exported to IFC, e.g. add name GROUP_1 to different reinforcement sets (beams, columns, single bar, etc.) that will be “visible” in IFC file (custom data record). Is there any way to do it using ProConcrete? Is Assignment tab a good place to search such a possibilities - Part family/Description? May these records(fileds) be exported to IFC?

Bogdan

Shape catalogues

Bogdan Majcherczyk — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 13:00:35 GMT

Hi,

I would like to use profiles/sections defined in c:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenBuildings CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Datasets\Dataset_UK\Data\Polish.xml but I can't find defined shapes in the list displayed during steel beams insert. When I'm displaying Shape catalog sections defined in the file mentioned above are not displayed as well. I will be grateful for some advice how to make file Polish.xml available.

IFC setting format and rounding precision

Bogdan Majcherczyk — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 10:30:57 GMT

We deliver to our customer reinforcement IFC models. Customer based on the model preparing bill of quantities using some dedicated software. The point that is by default all components of Pset_ProStructures_Rebar_Properties and Pset_ProStructures_RebarAssembly_Properties are written to IFC file as a strings, and the customer software reading reinforcement weight (mass) expects numbers.

I have change weight mapping inside IfcElementAssembly.att and IfcReinforcingBar.att files from IfcLabel to IfcMassMeasure. Finally IFC file contains numbers (double) with unit (kg). But values are given rounded to kilograms. Is there any way to set custom rounding precision for IFC weight attribute? If so how to do it?

By the way, is the Mapping Options available within ProStructure, the way it is implemented if Open Building Designer? Or the manual edit of *.att file is the only way to control IFC file content?

ProConcrete PartList Creation dialog doesn't appear

Bogdan Majcherczyk — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 10:56:41 GMT

Hello,

I'm using ProStructures version 10.05.00.54 (update 5) and I need to update models that where made with ProStructures update 4. The point is when I want to create new part list pressing button "Create Concrete Partlist" doesn't work. Partlic Creation popup dialog is not being displayed. What could be a reason of that - file version incompatibility?

I would be grateful for any advice.

Bogdan

OBD update 5 - elements visivility

Bogdan Majcherczyk — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 20:29:07 GMT

Hi,

I'm using OBD update 5 and I have faced following problem.

Some of the developed bridge aburtment elments were modeled using smart solid intersection with "standard" OBD element, eg. retaing structures walls with variable height. The point is these elements but others as weell can't be selected using any of "soild" display style. After switching to Wireframe view mode these elements disappear, so also can't selected.

Any idea what can be a reason of such behaviour and how to reset selection mode, to make the selection active for all elements?

Regards,

Bogdan

General view

Ctrl+A selection

Crossing selection - e.g. retaining structures not selected

Wireframe model - no "unselectable" elements visible !

AutoCAD Solids import, elements intersection

Bogdan Majcherczyk — Tue, 06 Nov 2018 18:16:17 GMT

Hi,

Is there any way to import into AECOsim AutoCAD 2017 solids and get smart solid ? I have copied some solids from the AutoCAD file used as a reference but I can't catch the rules how it is performed. One of these solid is described as "Smart solid \ line" and the other ones as "Cell: 3DSOLID \ line" The shape of these solid (at least some of them) is is a little bit complicated, so I wanted to avoid "remodeling" it in AECOsim.

Within next step I was going to "intersect" these solid with some structural elements to get AECOsim "intelligent" entities. Such an operation works with "smart solids" only. That's why the proper import is so important.

Are the any AECOsim settiings for this purpose or maybe AutoCAD file should be "prepared" in a specific way ?

The other issue is that :"intersection" doesn't work with "Smart solid \ line" as well.

I will be grateful for any advice.

Regards,

Bogdan
