Conveyor Systems Automotive
Combined platform and steel construction module for the creation of 2D and 3D constructions with the usual reporting and dimensioning of all components. All current DIN profiles as well as other country-specific steel profiles are recorded. The steel girders can be constructed in any MicroStation window directly in 3D or 2D. The module allows for a flexible construction of platforms, surfaces and breakouts according to freely definable polygons.
Automatic fitting of the breakout frame with 3D steel girders and allowing for an intersectioning priority with the interties and breakouts. Different profile ends, e.g. end plates, mitre joints, welding gaps, etc. can be determined and then changed during the planning stage, as the user chooses. It is also possible to cover the platforms with detailed grid floors, sheet metal floors or basic overlays.

Further functions:

• Semi-automatic construction of a railing with specification of handrail, knee strip, side guard, base board and post profile.
• Positioning of parametric steel stairs while setting threshold values for the measurement of steps, for comfort and security. During the construction of the stairs, the system checks these threshold values.
• Ladders can be created very easily, and the main measurements – distance between the rungs, mounting to the wall, back protection and charging funnels – can be specified with flexibility and generated with the corresponding profile.
• Possibility of “free form” input of user-defined steel constructions into the space, while the degree of detail in the graphic representation
• (simple/detailed) can be manipulated in various ways.
• Completed models can be transferred to specialized steel construction programs, such as Bocad, speedikon etc. via SDNF-Interface.
