Development of Structural Design and Preprocess Module Based on ACA
Zhang Jifeng, Liao Zebang, Zhang Xin, Wang Congjun
2010,2(2):37-41.
ACA is the abbreviation of AutoCAD Architecture. It is based on AutoCAD, but designed for Architectural design. It is often called AutoCAD for architects. Using DOT NET API and basing on ACA's intelligent object model, we have developed an application module especially for structural engineers. The structural functions such as creating layout grids, placing members and loads etc are all included. The model created by the structural module can be directly imported to structural analysis software like ETABS to do the analysis job. It is designed for integrating architectural and structural design and analysis. This paper can be used as a reference for the application of BIM technology.
key words: BIM, ACA, Structural Module, ETABS, DOT NET
