Structural data

Hi

I'm trying to clean up the definitions when placing beams, columns, walls and slabs to fit our way of work. But I can't get rid of the Structura Data, it don't show in the catalog editor. Super annoying when the betongbalk (concrete beam) has default material steel. 

Any ideas? Running connect edition, Aecosim update 4.

Regards,

  • I want to recommend that you don't need to utilize Structural Data. As I mentioned this was used when exporting-round-tripping directly to RAM or STAAD analysis programs

    Paul, I think that you are very out of touch to recomend this. Are the old Structural Modeler tools that bad, un-maintained? Sounds like that you are post-rationalising a cost cutting decision... unconsciously.

    You are assuming that the structural engineers would be using STAAD/RAM and ISM. And even if they do, they often do NOT use the Aecosim model as the basis, especially after the model starts changing.

    Structural information would still be useful/required by the cost estimators, and often form part of the BIM deliverables to be handed over at the stipulated data drops.
