StrucPLUS for
full Bricscad is a suite of powerful parametric modules
that use dialog box driven commands and macros related solely
to the preparation of Structural Engineering drawings. The basic
product includes the following 7 modules:
1. SPTools
Introduces standardisation of the initial drawing setup, easy
to edit colour, linetype, layer and font configurations, a large
suite of drafting utilities, symbols and tools.
2. SPConcrete
Generates reinforced concrete beam sections & elevations,
reinforced concrete columns, footings and pile caps, suspended
slab framing plans, precast concrete panels, prestressed tendon
layouts & beam elevations, plan and slab section reinforcement,
reinforced concrete & masonry retaining walls, slab on ground
plan & details, schedules, concrete stairs, concrete and
masonry walls, and miscellaneous concrete symbols. This module
complies with U.S.A., Australian, British and New Zealand Concrete
Codes.
3. SPCivil
Provides tools to aid in the drafting of pits on plan, drainage
lines, pit schedules, batter lines and spot level indicators.
A split scale longitudinal section tool complete this module
and provides a supplement to the normal structural related tools
included in this total application.
4. SPTimber
Provides tools for stump and bearer layout routines, floor joist
layout and design in accordance with the design tables from AS1684
- Light Timber Framing Code, lintel placement and typical base
brickwork and timber construction details.
5. SPSteelwork
Includes all common steelwork members in section, elevation &
plan for North American, Australian, South American, Japanese
and British - sections, cleats and connections, steel framing
plans and elevations, stairs, schedules and truss elevations.
Australian, British, Japanese, North and South American rolled
sections are supported.
6. SPDetailer
The structural steelwork shop detailing module including draft
marking plans, holding down bolt layout plans, floor beams, rafters,
columns, bracing beams, struts, stairs, handrails, cleats, bracing
gussets and automatic material list extraction.
7. SPPrecast
Basic
For the detailing of precast concrete panel design and shop drawings.
This suite of tools will automatically calculate the panel centre
of gravity, lifting requirements, weight, area and concrete volume.
A cad accurate model is created of all elevations including all
panels and their fitments. Once complete the drafter can then
use the Shop Detail function to automatically place the desired
panel onto a drawing sheet. All dimensions and panel quantities
are placed around the panel in a matter of seconds with only
a few moments of clean up work required.
