Structure Manufacturing Preparation (SMP) - P1

 

General Issues

Drawing extraction Drawing extraction will fail if SP2 config has been installed stand-alone. Drawing extraction works with YP5 or YP9 configs (SP2 is part of those)

Open Issues

Workshop Documents Update 1. When Assembly Drawing is generated after generating pin-jigs, the assembly drawing goes out of date. Also, pin-jigs drawing is not up-to-date in some case (if it has been extracted with some other document)

Adding to the Attachment line catalog

 

The attachment line catalog is read while creating the attachment line between plate and the profile. This catalog is CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.CATNls file. It consists of intersecting faces of the profile with the plate for a given profile type. By default the profile type mentioned in the Nls file are: Tee, Angle, RectangularBar, Beam, Pipe, RectangularHollow, Bulb and FlatBar.

Ø  If the profile type is apart from the types mentioned above, then the user must make an entry of the profile type in the CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.CATNls file before the creation of the attachment lines.

An entry of every profile type of the stiffener should be there in the CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.CATNls file. This file is located in the RTV(Run Time View).

Path for CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.CATNls:                                     …\intel_a\resources\msgcatalog\ CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.CATNls

Following are the steps for adding the values in the CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.CATNls file for a given profile type:

1)       For a given profile, find the intersecting faces with the plate (WebInner+, WebInner-, Flange1Toe+, Flange1Toe- etc).

2)      Every face will have a key value assigned to it. From the intersecting faces got from step one, find the key values corresponding to each of the face. The key values are declared in CATStrSectionNamingKeys.CATNls. For more details about naming keys, refer Strcuture Design (SR1) user guide, Chapter name: 'Naming Section Characteristics'

Chapter name: Naming Section Characteristics

 

3)      Enter the profile type in the CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.CATNls file and the corresponding key values. The profile type is shown as below.

         

The profile type should be suffixed with the index 1,2,3,…… as per the number of intersecting faces got from step 1 and the key values assigned for these faces got from step 2.

For example, if the profile type is ABC and the intersecting faces have are 4 and the key values(from step 2) are 11, 12, 13, 14 then, the name of the profile type should be suffixed with index as

ABC1 = 11;

ABC2 = 12;

ABC3 = 13;

ABC4 = 14;

Example: Consider a profile whose type is Tee.

Step 1: Finding the intersecting faces.                                                                                                                    The intersecting faces with the plate for profile type Tee are: WebInner+ and WebInner-.

Step 2: Finding the key values.                                                                                                                                  The key values for Tee section are:                                                                                                                     WebInner+ : 12                                                                                                                                                                     WebInner-  : 13

                    

 

Step 3: Enter the profile type and key values in the CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.Nls.                                                                                    The entry in the CATStrAttachmentLineInterestingFaces.Nls file should be,                                                                                                                                Tee1 = “12”;                                                                                                                                                                                 Tee2 = “13”;
