UTILIZATION SYSTEM FOR STRUCTURE DESIGN INFORMATION AND STRUCTURE DATA BASE CAD USING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automate the matching of a design drawing and structure calculation and to improve the efficiency of a design job by holding structure design information as a specified form file and a three-dimensional CAD model and outputting them altogether at the time of linking with an external system. SOLUTION: Among the structure design information, the general information of a building, information relating to materials and member cross section information are kept as an ACCESS file at the time of input. On the other hand, the information relating to a building shape and the arrangement of members is held as the three-dimensional model of CAD at the time of the input. As the editing function of this structure data base CAD 30, the automatic envelope of the members, framing elevation preparation 11, the automatic preparation function of reinforced steel detail drawing preparation 13 and the function of cross section list preparation 27 are provided. In the meantime, at the time of linking data between the structure data base CAD 30 and the external system, the information kept as CAD data are processed altogether and swept out to the ACCESS file. In such a manner, a body data base 31 for which the entire structure design information is uniformized to a fixed form is formed.
