spatial structures-pipe section-material class

[GHASEM_ARIYANI]

hi

1-Please explain the method of spatial structures:

2-How to make a pipe section (inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness).

3-How to add material class ,Such as st 37

Can someone guide me?

I want to help you but i'm going to need you to rephrase your question. I don't currently understand what you want. do you want to know how to create a peice of tube steel or create a custom peice of tube steel?

as for adding grades to material class libraries, 

1. Open Managment Tools 
2. Click on Object Properties Editor
3. Click on Material Class
4. Click New
5. Put in the values for Name,Group and Name on Drawing.
6. Click apply
7. Reload Advance Steel.

Thank you

Question No. 3 was solved with your help.

No. 2 : The pipe with new profile (OD.ID and ... ) .

NO. 3 : Modeling of spatial structures :  Such as the picture above.

To answer No.2 check out his video. it'll explain everything

as for No. 3 I'd use Autocad 3D Solids and form it together by hand. Those buldings are custom manufactured so it's hard to put Stock components into Advance Steel's Vast library.

Hi,

Such structures are usually modular. I would make one of each unique module then copy that around. To make one module I would probably use a network of simple lines for the centre lines of the tubes and then use Beam From Line to convert those into tubes. The joints will likely be all manual but you could experiment with the Custom Connections to see if you can make semi-automatic ones.

St27, St37-2 and St37-3 are already existing in standard Advance steel materials.
