Structural Design

 Over the past two months Hamilton By Design have been test driving Buildworks 2012 a Solidworks add in, after extensive testing the team at Hamilton By Design have rated the Builtworks benefits in terms of must haves throught to nice to haves when modelling structural steel to produce fabrication shop drawings :

1. BuiltWorks uses embedded SolidWorks and add in modelling tools that facilitate the creation of a 3D parametric model of a structure under design by using SolidWorks Weldment and BuiltWorks Structural members both in Part and Assembly.
2. BuiltWorks has flexible tools for the modelling of member connections including rule definitions engine by setting relations, aligning, cutting, placing connection plates and fasteners. BuiltWorks contains standard connections libraries, easily expanded by new customised solutions.
3. BuiltWorks ensures the direct and seamless bi-directional integration between the SolidWorks graphics environment and SolidWorks Simulation for the FE analysis of steel structure in addition to leading third party Structural analysis and design application like STAAD.Pro and others.
4. BuiltWorks as a software product was developed to meet the AEC, Structural and Plant industries requirements for high performance flexible and versatile tools that include extended integration capabilities to leading CAD/CAE,CAM Software.
5. BuiltWorks allows user controlled and automatic generation of design stage general arrangement drawings, detailed fabrication drawings of steel assemblies’ as well as component workshop drawings and BOMs by Building rules and standards.

Structural Detailing

Structural Detailing Central Coast

Structural Detailing is the art of producing detailed drawings for steel fabricators / steel erectors so that fabrications go together first time every time.  At Hamilton By design the process of detailing is a combination of set out, layouts and detailed plans which generally cover drawings and other documents for the manufacture and erection of steel structures.

Steel Structures can be broken into Columns, Beams, Braces, Trusses, Stairs, Handrails, Joists, Brackets and mechanical components that are used in the construction of building, bridges, industrial plants, and non building structures. Steel detailing projects completed by the Hamilton By design team have been a combination of commercial, residential, public, industrial or municipal. In general terms low-rise residential projects are rarely large enough to require significant amounts of structural steel.

Today, AutoCad drafting has been largely replaced by Solid modelling CAD packages such as Solidworks. A steel detailer using solidworks has been proven to increase there output by 100% compared to 3D Auto-desk Auto-cad traditional methods of detailing.
