Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of narrow-width steel box girder formwork creation technology, specifically to a method and system for creating narrow-width steel box girder formwork based on CATIA. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional narrow-span steel box girder design lacks professional auxiliary tools, resulting in low levels of information-based and parametric design. Engineering designers need to spend a lot of time on manual modeling and detailed design of complex nodes, which not only makes division of labor and collaboration difficult, but also leads to a large workload for scheme changes and optimization difficulties, hindering the rapid application of the design model in subsequent projects.

[0003] Specifically, there are currently three main methods for creating narrow-span steel box girder structures in China: First, Tekla is used to create narrow-span steel box girder structures, but its parametric capabilities are relatively weak, making it difficult to reuse the designed composite girder structures. Second, Revit is used to create narrow-span steel box girder structures. Revit requires a lot of time and effort to create accurate models when dealing with such complex structures, manually modeling them to meet the requirements of construction drawings. For example, the creation of detailed components such as stiffening ribs and shear studs inside the steel box requires generating and setting parameters individually, which is quite cumbersome. Third, traditional road and bridge design software such as Bentley is used. This also presents difficulties in handling the complex details of composite girder structures, such as difficulty in locating details, complex and unclear spatial relationships and constraints of the structural model, and the inability to quickly change the design structural model after changes in design parameters, making subsequent model modifications difficult and resulting in low model reuse rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a method for creating narrow-width steel box girder templates based on CATIA. This method generates corresponding geometric parametric templates based on the components, eliminating the need for individual generation, reducing operational steps, and enabling the rapid generation of narrow-width steel box girder templates of the corresponding specifications according to specific needs. These templates can be reused in different projects without the need for manual modification of design drawings and rework, thereby improving the design efficiency and quality of narrow-width steel box girder structures.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A method for creating narrow-width steel box girder templates based on CATIA, comprising the following steps:

[0033] The second objective of this invention is to provide a CATIA-based narrow-width steel box girder template creation system. This system employs the CATIA-based narrow-width steel box girder template creation method described above, and further includes a contour creation module, a parameter setting module, and a generation module. The contour creation module is used to create a parametric template of the narrow-width steel box girder geometry. The parameter setting module is used to assign contour design parameters to the narrow-width steel box girder geometry. The generation module is used to iteratively call the parametric template of the narrow-width steel box girder geometry, adjust the corresponding design parameter attributes, and automatically generate narrow-width steel box girder geometry of the corresponding specifications.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] This invention creatively proposes to generate narrow steel box girder composite beams as specific components, such as the main beam as a whole, by generating the main beam as a whole through the cross-sectional line diagram and road design line, instead of generating specific parts under the components one by one. For example, the main beam top plate, main beam bottom plate, etc. are generated separately first and then assembled, reducing operation steps and improving generation efficiency.

[0036] In this invention, the projection of the three-dimensional road design line onto the two-dimensional plane is first determined, and then the starting point and ending point of the three-dimensional road design line are accurately determined by the two-dimensional projection. The component cross-sections generated based on the two-dimensional plane are located at both ends of the three-dimensional road design line, thereby directly generating a three-dimensional geometry that simulates an actual bridge. This allows the components to be generated as a whole, reducing the number of operation steps. The component cross-sections generated by the two-dimensional plane can be refined for details, improving accuracy. Thus, it is possible to generate the whole quickly while ensuring accuracy.

[0037] This invention addresses the issue of relationships between lines in a two-dimensional planar structural drawing being mutually constrained by design parameters. (When assigning design parameters to dimensions in a two-dimensional planar structural drawing, formulas are edited using these parameters, such as: Top plate protrusion length = (Top plate length - Net web spacing - Web thickness * 2) / 2, where the parameters within the parentheses are design parameters from the parameter set). To generate a three-dimensional geometry of the corresponding size, only the specific contour design parameters in the two-dimensional planar structural drawing need to be adjusted. This allows for adjustments to the corresponding design parameters based on specific requirements. In other words, by adjusting the design parameters in the parameter set, changes in geometric and formula relationships are further driven. Thus, adjusting the design parameters can drive adjustments to the overall design model (the entire cross-sectional wireframe) to generate a three-dimensional geometry of the corresponding size, which can be reused in different projects.

[0038] The operation is simple, the workload of scheme changes is small, there is no need to manually modify drawings and rework, which improves the efficiency of creating narrow steel box composite beams, enhances the versatility of narrow steel box composite beam structural forms, reduces the high error rate caused by manual drawing modification, and improves the design quality of narrow steel box composite beam structural models.

[0071] In this embodiment, creating the first reference axis system means creating a three-dimensional spatial coordinate system with the starting structural design positioning point as the origin.

[0089] In this embodiment, in the 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Engineering Rules Capture module of the CATIA software, the scripting language is set by operating the editor. The scripting language is used to cyclically call the corresponding component geometry parameterized templates and design tables in the resource table. The operator can automatically generate the geometry of the narrow steel box girder of the corresponding specifications by adjusting the design parameters in the parameter design table.
