| Abstract |
Lots of methodologies for digital data exchange have been studied for decades in order to share various types of information generated from the whole life-cycle of construction industry. As one of the results, a standard model of steel structure, CIS/2, has been developed from the Eureka CIMsteel Project, and currently, it is adopted by AISC as the standard for electronic exchange of structural steel project information. Thus, CAD & CAE vendors have been trying to implement application modules for supporting the standard and apply it for practical works. But the efforts are still at the early stage.
This study has developed an information management system for sharing and managing structural analysis and design information of steel structures by using CIS/2. The system was developed on the basis of the commonly used CAD system like AutoCAD and consists of data set for CIS/2 data and Input/Output API of STEP physical files, and several application modules like visualization of shape, management of related information and automatic design of bolted connections. This study utilized ObjectARX application environments that allow developers to handle geometric shape and engineering information in the system. Since this study adopted solid modeling technique to manipulate shape of steel structures, engineering and shape information can be easily integrated on the system with reduced development time and little cost. |
