Notes on Settings in System Files and Configuration Editor

When creating new assemblies, forming assemblies from existing parts and automatically creating assemblies (e.g. for steel engineering), the prefix Assembly will be suggested as the default value for the article number. This setting can now be changed in the Configuration Editor at Steel Engineering > Assembly.

See Assemblies, Parts and Attributes

Usage

For automatically created assemblies in Steel and Metal Engineering you can automatically detect the attributes Length, Height and Width from the dimensions of the parts belonging to the assembly, and enter them into the assembly attributes.

See Assemblies, Parts and Attributes

Cutting angle

Here, you determine your various settings for the section schema. For example, you can determine here

• to which leg a specified angle in the section schema is to refer,
• Cross-section (default) or
  
• beam axis

• how many numbers of decimal places should be considered for the cutting angle when itemizing
• whether the cut symbol in the BOM should be issued for 45° cutting angle

• the conditions under which no cutting angle is to be shown in the section schema, since the total length does not correspond to the trimmed length.
• The cut surface has been processed. (Default)
• The cut surface has been processed on one outer side or on both outer sides.

DAST-Connections

Here, various settings can be specified for connections which support DAST, for example purlin joint 405 and 415.

Default material

Here you can specify a default material for Steel Engineering parts. To do this, click on the symbol and choose the desired material from the Materials or User-defined materials catalogue.

See Steel Engineering Settings, Weight Calculation

DSTV-NC

With this function the displacement of notch marks can be determined as well as the attribute assignment for main parts as item number.

See DSTV NC

Notch

With this function you determine the steel engineering-specific default settings for notches, for instance notch type or the distance between web and flange.

See Steel Engineering Settings, Notch

Products > Vertical ladder

With this parameter you specify default settings for inserting vertical ladders, for instance the ladder stiles type, the KRA files for landing, cage and rungs, the dimensions of a vertical ladder etc.

See Configure and Insert Vertical Ladders

Products > Railing

Here, you determine whether the assemblies to be created by the railing configurator are BOM-relevant or not.The BOM-relevance of the assemblies to be created by the Railing Configurator can be set in the Configuration Editor separately for railing assemblies, segment assemblies, and component assemblies.

See Staircase Configurator> Important Notes

Products > Stairs

If you want to ensure a standard-compliant step length for the staircase, this can be determined here, as well as all the guidelines to be specified, e.g. on the basis of national regulations. The ISD has predefined the guidelines according to the industrial standard DIN 18065.

See Staircase Configurator

Representation

Here, you can define the representation of beams, plates, gratings and glass panes

See Steel Engineering Settings, Representation

Here, you can specify the precision of the weight calculation for beams and plates in steel engineering construction

See Steel Engineering Settings, Weight Calculation
