Product Overview
 Structural Steel (GTSTR) provides a comprehensive suite of tools and component catalogs for the design of steel structures. Users can draw on a complete set of international industry standard steel member types to create virtually any kind of structural framework which is rich in data and fully integrated into Digital Project's parametric-associative data model. A full feature set of relimitation operations and connection details extend modeling productivity.
GTSTR builds on the same V5 core engine used by the entire Digital Project family. This gives GTSTR an unprecedented level of flexibility, data richness and interoperability in structural steel modeling, ensuring that geometric models are maintained up-to-date through associativity, and attribute information can be leveraged throughout the span of a project model.
Product Highlights
- Plate and Extrusion modeling: Provides powerful tools for directly modeling structural steel frames in an immersive 3D context.
- Industry Standard Catalogs: Comprehensive sets of industry standard steel members are available out of the box, allowing the users to build steel industry-compliant structural assemblies without the need for further modeling.
- Custom Component Definition: Beyond the available industry-standard catalogs of steel members, users can easily create catalogs of proprietary section used on a project or across an office.
- Functional Wireframe-driven Design: Members are intuitively placed on a 3D structural wireframe model which is built in Digital Project, or can be imported from other 3D software. V5's associative technology ensures that subsequent modifications to the underlying wireframe are reflected in the members' updating sequence dynamically.
- Drawing extraction: produce accurate 2D plans and sections from 3D structures models, either independently or in the context of additional building systems.
- Detailing Operations Features: A full suite of trimming and detailing operations are integrated into the tool set.
- Industry Standard Data Translation: CIS/2 and SDNF translators maintain geometric data as well as semantic information such as member section type, cardinal point, steel grade and such.
Product Key Customer Benefits
Structural engineers Digital Project Structures provides functionality to perform structural steel modeling directly in a 3D context. By performing structural design directly in a 3D context, building engineers can achieve improved quality control of their work, allowing interference checking and coordination work to be performed on structural steel models and in coordination with other system specifications.
The resulting 3D structural steel specification may be used as a basis for extraction of accurate two-dimensional drawings, and serve as the basis for import or export to 3rd party finite element solvers and steel detailing applications.
Digital Project structures models may be parametrically defined relative to structural grids or defined relative to other project geometry, allowing associative updating of structural data with changes to the overall project scheme and reducing rework required during project revisions.
