Steel Detailing Neutral File Format

4 Steel Detailing Neutral File Format Reference Guide

Steel Detailing Neutral File Format The file is written sequentially with a maximum record length of 132 characters. All records (except the fixed-format Packet identification records) are free formatted, with fields delimited by blanks (white space). Coordinate values are in the global coordinate (X, Y, Z) system.

Note

• FrameWorks Plus does not support some records in the linear member, plate element, hole element, and arc member packets. However, the records are included in the Steel Detailing Neutral File format because manufacturing software may use them.

The following values are used to define format:

• FP - Used to indicate a Floating Point value, for example, "12.15" or "1" (decimal optional).

• I - Used to indicate an Integer value, for example, "5" (range of values: +/- 2 billion).

• Cnn - Used to indicate a character value of nn characters maximum, for example, C10 -- up to 10 characters including blanks. Character strings must be enclosed in double quotes ("example string").

• fixed - Used to indicate that a record must have exact content as shown in the example.

Except for the fixed format records, the data may start in any column of the record.



Comment Cards Comment cards can be inserted anywhere in the file, provided that the line begins with the # character in the first field.

Format: #comment

Examples:

I 5 -1 if plate is circular. For linear and complex plates, indicates number of vertices on a plate's face with each straight edge along the periphery connected by two vertices and each arc segment connected by three vertices.

Offset FP 0.0 Plate offset distance, similar to the work point offset for linear members. Expressed in feet or meters.

Plate Periphery

I 0 0=Plate without any arcs in the periphery;1=Plate with line segments and arcs in the periphery;2=circular plate

Record 2 example: "" "A36" 1.125 5 0.0 0

Depending on the Plate Periphery setting in Record 2, the records that define the vertices locations have different formats.

For Linear Edge Plates (0 in Plate Periphery) and Complex Edge Plates (1 in Plate Periphery), the plate geometry is defined by n records for the top face and n records for the bottom face, where n is the number of vertices from Record 2. Each record contains the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a vertex followed by a flag that indicates whether the current vertex and the next vertex are joined by a line or by an arc.

For Circular Plates (2 in Plate Periphery), two records, one for the top face and one for the bottom face, define the plate geometry. Each record contains the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the center point followed by the radius.

Periphery I 0 0=Hole without any arcs in the periphery;1=Hole with

line segments and arcs in the periphery;2=Circular hole Thickness FP 1.125 Hole thickness Number of

Vertices per Face

I 5 -1 if hole is circular. For linear and complex holes, indicates number of vertices on a hole's face with each straight edge along the periphery connected by two vertices and each arc segment connected by three vertices.

Record 2 example: 0 1.125 5

Depending on the Hole Periphery setting in Record 2, the records that define the vertices locations have different formats.

For Linear Edge Holes (0 in Hole Periphery) and Complex Edge Holes (1 in Hole Periphery), the hole geometry is defined by n records for the top face and n records



for the bottom face, where n is the number of vertices from Record 2. Each record contains the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a vertex followed by a flag that indicates whether the current vertex and the next vertex are joined by a line or by an arc.

For Circular Holes (2 in Hole Periphery), two records, one for the top face and one for the bottom face, define the hole geometry. Each record contains the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the center point followed by the radius.
