Plate Distortion data | You can now create and view plate distortion data. The revised plate formation documentation is here. Information on extracting plate distortion data is here. An example of plate distortion data is here. |
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.

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”; |
