[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building steel structure design, and in particular to a three-dimensional integrated design method for an outer packaging steel structure. Background Art
[0002] As the exterior design of modern buildings becomes increasingly diversified and personalized, exterior steel structures have become an important part of realizing architects' creativity.
[0003] External packaging steel structures are all spatial structures, which have the characteristics of complex shapes and diverse forms. In the existing design practice, designers usually select multiple corresponding processing software for analysis and processing based on their professional experience. There is a lack of a complete, systematic and standardized design process and technical means. If the output of the initial processing software selected forms an error, the subsequent software processing will magnify the error. Therefore, it is very dependent on the professional experience of the designers. Ultimately, it is difficult for designers to carry out their work efficiently when faced with the design tasks of external packaging steel structures, and the quality of the final products designed by each designer varies greatly.
[0004] Therefore, a new design method is needed to help designers complete the entire process from modeling, calculation to construction drawing in a more systematic way, so as to improve the design quality and efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0009] According to the calculation table of constant and wind loads, the span and stress state of the rods of the model after preliminary adjustment are analyzed, and then the pressure, bending moment and torque borne by the rods are calculated. By consulting the preliminary selection table of rods, the target rods are selected, and the names of the corresponding working layers of the rods are defined by the names of the rod specifications in the model after preliminary adjustment. In the working layer, the spatial grid structure system that meets the span requirements in the rod selection table is used to perform form finding, and the outer packaging steel structure line model is constructed to generate multiple outer packaging steel structure line form units. The types are grouped according to the hierarchical structure and type naming method corresponding to the single outer packaging steel structure line form unit, and multiple outer packaging steel structure line form units after group management are obtained;

[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms fall within the scope limited by the appended claims of the application equally.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a three-dimensional integrated design method for an outer packaging steel structure, which mainly adopts the following Figure 2 The method covers the entire process from model creation to structural calculation to construction drawing, and realizes seamless collaboration across software, significantly improving design efficiency and quality, and reducing design difficulty and cost. It includes the following steps:
[0033] Step 1, accept and check the Rhino software 3D model and technical conditions. Accept the Rhino software 3D model and technical conditions from the design unit, and make preliminary adjustments to the Rhino software 3D model based on the preset reference points and the positive and negative zero elevation adjustment conditions to obtain the preliminary adjusted model, i.e. the adjusted Rhino outer packaging model and the adjusted Rhino civil engineering 3D model. The Rhino software 3D model includes: Rhino outer packaging model, Rhino civil engineering 3D model. The technical conditions include: outer packaging material specifications, construction process requirements and environmental conditions in the area where the project is located. Among them, the outer packaging material specifications include material type, thickness, color and texture, etc., the construction process requirements include connection method and sealing requirements, etc., and the environmental conditions in the area where the project is located include: climate characteristics, wind pressure level and earthquake fortification intensity, etc. The preset reference points include: for a single building on an orthogonal axis grid, the horizontal grid lines at preset intervals in the orthogonal axis grid are set as letter axes starting from axis A from bottom to top; the vertical and horizontal grid lines at preset intervals in the orthogonal axis grid are set as digital axes starting from axis 1 from left to right, and the intersection of axis 1 and axis A is taken as the origin (world coordinate 0,0,0); for a single building on a circular axis grid, the center of the building is taken as the origin, and the reference points of the unified Rhino packaging model and the civil engineering three-dimensional model are modified to ensure that the model reference points are correct. The model reference point defines the spatial positioning of the three-dimensional model, and is the position reference system of all geometric elements relative to this point. The positive and negative zero elevation adjustment conditions include: the elevation Z-axis value "0" is set to the positive and negative zero elevation of the building unit, that is, the reference height of the model in the vertical direction is specified to facilitate the accurate execution of subsequent steps. See the schematic diagram after this step is completed. Figure 3 .
[0034] Step 2. Based on the technical conditions determined in step 1, combined with the adjusted Rhino outer packaging model and the adjusted Rhino civil engineering three-dimensional model, generate constant and wind load calculation tables and preliminary selection tables for rods in accordance with the "Code for Loads on Building Structures" GB50009-2012 as the initial input basis for establishing the structural model. For constant loads, based on the type and thickness of the outer packaging material and the surface area of the outer packaging, calculate the surface load transferred by the outer packaging to the outer packaging steel structure. Constant load calculations include: FRP (glass reinforced plastic), thickness 6 to 10 mm, value 0.5 kN / m2; GRC (roof tiles), thickness 20 to 25 mm, value 1.5 kN / m2; TCP (professional sculpture mortar), thickness 30 to 120 mm, value 3.0 kN / m2; load area, query the model outer packaging area parameters through the Rhino software, see Figure 4For wind load, the wind pressure value is determined based on the basic wind pressure of the project location, taking into account the ground roughness and building height in the area. Wind load calculation is calculated according to the local basic wind pressure according to the specification, see Figure 5 The preliminary selection of rods is based on the results of load calculations, taking into account the safety and economy of the structure and the stress characteristics of the outer packaging steel structure components. The square tube form that complies with the "Standard for Cold-Formed Hollow Steel Sections for Structures" GBT6728-2017 is selected, and several candidate sections are determined through preliminary calculations. The preliminary selection table for rods includes a selection table for square tubes under axial compression and a selection table for square tubes under bending and torsion. Considering that the outer packaging rods are mainly subjected to compression and bending and torsion, the square tube form is selected as the cross-section. Preliminary calculations are performed according to span, stress state, load, and deformation factors to form a rod selection table, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 .
[0035] Step three, in the Rhino software, according to the constant and wind load calculation table in step two, analyze the span and stress state of the rods in the adjusted Rhino outer packaging model and the adjusted Rhino civil engineering 3D model, and then calculate the pressure, bending moment and torque on the rods. By referring to the preliminary selection table of the rods, select the appropriate rods, and name the working layer in the adjusted Rhino outer packaging model and the adjusted Rhino civil engineering 3D model by defining the name of the rod specification with the name of the corresponding layer of the rod.
[0036] In the working layer, a spatial grid structure system that meets the span requirements in the bar selection table is used to find the form, build an outer packaging steel structure line model and generate multiple outer packaging steel structure line model units. For outer packaging steel structure line models with repetitive characteristics or predictable geometric patterns (for example, units with the same or similar shapes, sizes or arrangements), the visual programming tool Grasshopper of Rhino software is used for programming, and parametric programs are written to assist in modeling. The internal operating conditions of the parametric program include but are not limited to: defining the geometric parameters of the basic geometric properties of the model (such as length, width, height, etc.); setting the position and direction constraints of the fixed points and connection points in the model; allowing the user to adjust the change parameters of key variables (such as unit spacing, rotation angle, etc.); and defining the logical operations of the relationship between model elements. The parametric program enables the outer packaging steel structure line model to automatically adjust its geometric form according to different design requirements, thereby improving modeling efficiency and accuracy.
[0037] Multiple outer packaging steel structure wire formwork units are grouped according to the rules to obtain multiple outer packaging steel structure wire formwork units after group management. The group naming method follows the format of "layer number-unit type-number", for example, "1F-T1-01" represents the first tower unit on the first floor; "2F-T2-02" represents the second tower unit on the second floor. The naming method makes it easy to identify the hierarchical structure and type of each unit. See the schematic diagram after this step is completed. Figure 8 .
[0038] Step 4: Export the multiple outer packaging steel structure line formwork units grouped and managed in step 3 as dxf format files and transfer them to MIDAS software. Calculate the optimized cross-sections based on additional loads, environmental conditions in the project area, etc., and verify the optimized cross-sections according to the "Steel Structure Design Standard" GB50017-2017 until the verification is passed, determine the final design cross-section, and generate the MIDAS unit calculation model. See the schematic diagram after this step is completed. Fig. 9 .
[0039] Step five, input the MIDAS unit calculation model into the TEKLA software through the Link_TS_Midas data interface to create a three-dimensional BIM model of the outer packaging steel structure, related drawings and material lists, and obtain a TEKLA three-dimensional model. Prior to this, it is necessary to ensure that the square tube section name in TEKLA matches the final design square tube section name of the MIDAS section. This step can be achieved by setting the corresponding parameters in the Link_TS_Midas data interface. The specific method is to check and adjust the preset square tube section name in the TEKLA software before importing the model so that it is consistent with the square tube section name used in the MIDAS calculation software. In TEKLA, customized drawing and material list templates are based on project-specific requirements. Template types include plan layout views, elevation layout views, section views, node detail views, three-dimensional views, index views, component lists, etc. The content includes annotation styles, view display modes, component filters, drawing frames and header information, etc. By using customized templates, three-dimensional BIM models, related drawings and material lists are generated. See the schematic diagram after this step is completed. Fig.10 . The 3D BIM model must reach LOD300 level accuracy to ensure that the size, position and connection details of all structural components are accurate. The relevant drawings must be construction drawings that comply with "Depth and Representation Methods of Steel Structure Design Drawings" 03G102, including plan drawings, elevation drawings, section drawings and node details. The material list must list the specifications, quantity and weight of all materials used to construct the outer packaging steel structure.
[0040] Step six, send the TEKLA 3D model of step five to the steel structure construction unit for deepening, processing and management of the steel structure. That is, based on the TEKLA 3D model, the steel structure user unit completes the in-depth design, steel structure production and management work to ensure the consistency of drawing and model data, improve quality and avoid repeated modeling.
[0041] Beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention:
[0042] The embodiment of the present invention proposes a systematic outer packaging steel structure design process, covering the entire process from modeling to drawing and list output, realizing seamless cross-software collaboration and significantly improving design efficiency and accuracy.
[0043] By adopting clear load calculation standards, we ensure that the structural design is safe and reasonable. In terms of 3D modeling, we use Rhino software and its Grasshopper plug-in to achieve rapid construction of complex structures and efficient parametric iterative design, which improves the flexibility and response speed of the design.
[0044] In addition, the present invention also carefully classifies and names the wire mold units in the model, simplifies the complexity of project management, and promotes effective communication and collaboration among members.
[0045] At the same time, the design model can be directly transmitted to the construction unit, reducing errors in the construction process, accelerating the progress of the project, and comprehensively improving the overall construction quality.
[0046] Specific practice shows that the design method of the embodiment of the present invention can greatly increase the design capacity of the outer packaging steel structure and improve the design efficiency. The method is also of general significance, especially for engineering projects with high design accuracy requirements, complex shapes, large number of units and tight construction period.
