2D Symbols Reference Data Guide 7


Preface
This document is a reference data guide for the Intergraph SmartTM 3D 2D Symbols task. The
purpose of this document is to describe the reference data delivered with the software for this
task.
Reference data includes both catalog data and specification data. Catalog data includes the
parts that you place in the model, such as piping components and equipment. Specification data
includes the rules that govern how those parts are placed and connected.

Documentation Comments

What's New in 2D Symbols Reference Data


The following changes have been made to the 2D symbols reference data.
Version 2016 (11.0)

2D Symbols Reference Data Guide 8


SECTION 1

2D Symbols Reference Data


The 2D Symbols utility is delivered with the software and is used to create symbols representing
profile cross-sections, brackets, slots, collars, end cuts, detailing features, and manufacturing
features in the Molded Forms and Structural Detailing tasks; member cross-sections in the
Structure task; and facilitate using these symbols in a modeling environment.
This document describes all of the 2D symbols that are delivered with the software. The symbol
library is delivered to the SharedContent share in the [Reference Data Product
Directory]\SharedContent folder
You can create your own custom symbols using the 2D Symbols utility. To learn how to create
2D symbols, refer to the 2D Symbols User's Guide.
Two sets of 2D symbols are delivered: default and marine library. The default
set contains basic symbols suitable for prototyping. The marine library set provides a more
complete set of marine symbols.

2D Symbols Reference Data Guide 9


SECTION 2

Bracket Symbols
Bracket symbols are delivered in two locations:
 [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Marine Library\Brackets folder. Within the Brackets
folder, the folder hierarchy is further organized by the number of supports and by whether
the bracket is trimmed or lapped.
 [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Brackets folder. Within the Brackets folder, the
folder hierarchy is further organized by the number of supports.

SECTION 8

Member Cross Sections


Member cross-section symbols are used in the Structure task.
All section tables delivered with the software use a specific set of cross-section symbols. Some
section tables use all the cross-section symbols in the set; some tables only use a subset of the
cross-section symbols. Each cross-section symbol has its own set of properties. When looking
at a section table workbook, you can determine the cross-section symbol that is being
referenced by that particular sheet by looking at the SymbolDefinition entry at the top of the
sheet.
The cross-section symbols are delivered with the reference data software in the [Reference
Data Folder]\SharedContent\CrossSections folder. You can create your own custom cross-
section symbols, sometimes referred to as arbitrary sections, using the 2D Symbols utility that is
delivered with the software.
The software uses the simple physical representation of the cross-section symbol to display the
member geometry in the model. You can change the display representation using the Selected
Aspects option of Format > View.
The delivered symbols contain a detailed physical representation. This representation is
available only for marine models, and is not used for plant and materials handling models.
The delivered symbols also contain a production physical representation. This representation is
available only for marine models in the Structural Manufacturing task, and is not used for plant
and materials handling models.
For more information, see Cross-Section Symbol Representations in the 2D Symbols User's
Guide.

SECTION 9

Wall Cross Sections


Wall cross-section symbols are used in the Structure task’s Wall commands. These wall cross
sections are delivered with the steel sections and follow most of the same rules.
All section tables delivered with the software use a specific set of cross-section symbols. Some
section tables use all the cross-section symbols in the set; some tables only use a subset of the
cross-section symbols. Each cross-section symbol has its own set of properties. When looking
at a section table workbook, you can determine the cross-section symbol that is being
referenced by that particular sheet by looking at the SymbolDefinition entry at the top of the
sheet.
The wall cross-section symbols are delivered with the reference data software in the [Reference
Data Folder]\SharedContent\CrossSections folder. You can create your own custom cross-
section symbols using the 2D Symbols utility that is delivered with the software.
For more information, see Cross-Section Symbol Representations in the 2D Symbols User's
Guide.

The Shear Center is the point at which a shear force can act without producing any twist in the
section. The centroid of a cross section shape is the arithmetic mean (average) position of all
the points in the shape.
Shear Center and Centroid are both required properties to unfold a profile part in Structural
Manufacturing. Shear Center gives the axis information about which the profile is untwisted. The
Centroid gives the axis about which the profile is unbent.
OriginKeyPoint, XDirectionKeyPoint and YDirectionKeyPoint values are used only in Structural
Manufacturing to interpret the location of Centroid and Shear Center. Centroid and Shear Center
locations should be given correctly relative to these key points.
The following example shows how to define a cross section centroid with respect to key points
defined in Cross Section work sheet:

Any of the following rows are correct for the previous figure:

OriginKeyPoint XDirectionKeyPoint YDirectionKeyPoint Centroid_X Centroid_Y

1 23 13 15 75

13 15 1 15 25

23 15 1 75 35

Manufacturing Requirements for Member Cross


Sections
All member cross sections must have CrossSectionType information.
Valid Cross Section Type strings:
 BulbFlat
 Channel
 FlatBar
 IBar
 TeeBar
 EqualAngle
 UnequalAngle
 RectangleTube
 SquareTube
 RoundTube
 RoundBar
 SquareBar
 HalfRound.

Structural Manufacturing

Member cross sections are not required to support IJUAXSectionMfgProperties or


IJUAXSectionMatlProperties virtual interfaces.
Cardinal Point 10 must be defined in the member cross section symbol at the centroid location.
Cardinal Point 15 must be defined at the Shear Center location.
If the member has a flange, it must support the IStructFlangedSectionDimensions virtual
interface with the following properties:
 d = Web Depth
 tw = Web Thickness
 tf = Flange Thickness
 bf = Flange Width
If the member, such as round tubes, rectangular tubes, Half Round, and so on, does not have a
flange, it must support the IStructCrossSectionDimensions virtual interface.
 Depth = Web Depth
 tdes = Thickness
OR
 tnom = Thickness
This property is read-only if the tdes property does not exist.
