1. Software

Modelling – Tekla Ver 2017

Fabrication / Production – Strumis
Consult Project Manager Prior to commencement to confirm Compatibility.

2. Model Name

The Model Name is usually either the street address for smaller projects or the
building description for larger projects
E.g.:
• 217 Litchfield Street
• Stadium Southland

3. Project Properties.

Ensure you complete the project properties Dialog Correctly.

Project Number (Alpha-Numerical) EG: C-172
Designer = Detailer who completed the majority of the project.
If the project is multi user – Lead detailer First, Followed by remaining Detailers

Page 6 of 75
3.1 Project Identifier

Each model also has a project identifier, which is usually the first letter of the project
name, to help separate parts from different projects through the workshop.

E.g.: “L” for Lichfield Street and “S” for Stadium Southland.

Check with the project manager to confirm the letter is not already being used on
another project.
Do not use more than one letter to identify a project unless advised otherwise.
For a project with multiple buildings, or phases, use different start numbers to
separate the buildings.

4. Gate 2 Project Review (Pegasus Kick off Meeting)

Review the design drawings and discuss with the project / Workshop managers if
any of the following items apply:

Check splice locations against standard stock lengths of steel and request new
splice locations to minimise wastage if required.

If there is fully welded rafter knee or ridge connections request approval to change to
a bolted detail to simplify fabrication and transport.

If the baseplates have minimal hole clearance for the Holding Down bolts request a
change to 20mm oversize holes with plate washers.
(This may also apply to wall members with concrete fixing details)

Review all full penetration butt weld locations and request a change to an acceptable
fillet weld size.
(If a fillet weld is not acceptable then a partial penetration butt weld is preferred to a
full penetration weld)

Review all fully welded frames and request approval to change to bolted connections
to simplify fabrication and transport.

All complex assemblies are to be modelled as Sub-Assemblies so the main parts

can be fabricated independently as a single main shaft with associated cleats and
stubs.
i.e. All Cranked Rafters and Columns, Trusses , Frames , and Stairs.
See Creating Sub-Assemblies for numbering details.
This is a workshop requirement and must be followed.
If there is any doubt regarding any of these items check with the project / workshop
managers.

Page 7 of 75
4.1 Project Specifications

Review Project Specifications prior to the Gate 2 meeting and raise any
concerns.

We’re seeing a lot more specifics being noted in the spec and not noted on the
design drawings.

EG: Threads Excluded from shear planes / Cambers

5. RFI’s

Check Contract Details for Allowable Time Framing for RFI Responces (2 Days / 5
Days Etc:)
Review Minutes from Gate 2 Meeting and raise relevant RFI’s within the next
working day
Complete and update RFI Register each time a new RFI is raised.
Send the RFI Register along with RFI’s so Contractor can access where the hold
ups are.
Any RFI’s NOT responded with in the specified time frame chase up to see if these
can be closed out.
If an RFI goes beyond 2 days overdue. Flag this to Pegasus / Construction
Supervisors.

6. Tekla Phases / Strumis Lotting

The number of phases or Lots generally depends on the size of the project and/or
the construction programme.

This will be reviewed at the Gate 2 meeting and supplied at the time of Detailing
commencement

If you are required to lot a package not noted. Aim for 13 Tonne Fabrication
Packages.

Lots are Typicaly the Project number +

EG: Contact No. C302

Lot 3021 (HD bolts)
Lot 3022 (Cast In Plates)
Lot 3023 (Loose Brackets / Misc)
The first 3 Lots are constant

Lot XXX1 (HD Bolts) – Every Project.

Lot XXX2 (Cast In Plates) – Every Project
Lot XXX3 (Loose Brackets / Misc) – Every Project.

Remaining Lots vary & will be advised to suit program.

Page 8 of 75
NOTE.
All models must be phased to suit the breakdown plans to enable loading into
Strumis.

Purlins & Reid Braces to be placed on their own individual Lots.

Any Model NOT Phased / Lotted as per breakup supplied will be rejected.

6.1 Numbering

Assembly & Part start numbers are to match the sequences they are for.

EG:
Lot 01 – Start Numbers = 1000
Lot 02 – Start Numbers = 2000

DO NOT use Single Digit Start Numbers.

Ensure NO Position number separators are shown

E.g.: Beam – LB2000 (NOT LB/2000)
When opening outsourced projects ensure the part separator is not shown
Tools / Options / Options / Numbering

9. Paint Finishes

All Paint codes need to be assigned in Strumis.

We No longer require the Fully painted Assembly to have paint codes shown on the
assembly drawing.

Any assembly Partially / Specially Painted need to be noted on the Assembly

Drawing. (A4 Highlighted copy to go in Fabrication package)

i.e.;
Top Flange of Floor Beams (For Site welded Shear studs)
Concrete Encased Steelwork.
Fully Tensioned TF Bolt Connections.
Loose Assemblies / Fittings requiring Site welding remain fully painted. Site to
remove paint for welding as required. (No Paint Masking Finn Plates for Site Welds)

Loose Washers to be site welded to remain Un-Painted.

Any Steelwork requiring Thermal Arc Spray needs to be reviewed & signed off by the
Project manager prior to Issuing for Fabrication.

Arc spray must have a seal coat, so it must be issued with a 7 digit coded. It cannot
be issued for fabrication with a 4 digit code or X or TBC.

It is absolutely imperative that the correct seal coat is chosen! If the arc spray is to
have no top coats then the sealer will typically be 50dft of Chembar which is clear. If
the arc spray is to have top coats then the sealer will typically be 50dft of epoxy
primer in line with the project specification. If in any doubt seek confirmation in
writing prior to proceeding.

Supply a marked up copy of the 3D Perspective with the Thermal Spray Steel
Clearly Highlted for Signing off.

Any Frame required to be Galvanised Needs to have Vent Holes.

Galvaniser will not except any frame with concealed vent holes.
(All Vent Holes to be Visible)
Refer Pegasus Paint Finish Codes (Appendix 1, Pge 75)

Galvanising

All Galvanised frames to be reviewed prior to creating fabrication drawings to ensure

these can be Galvanised.
Perry’s Galvanising Bath = 7m Long x 1.3m Wide x 2.4m Deep
CSP’s Bath = 10m Long x 1.5m Wide x 2.6m Deep.

Double dipping Frames if required to be Approved by Client Prior to proceeding.

To minimize down time in machine setup. We prefer to use the following standard
hole sizes. (To Avoid Changing Machine Drill Head)
The Seven Drill Heads Permanently Installed are
14, 18, 22, 26, 33, 36 & 39.

Page 12 of 75
10.5 Bolt Modelling

Where timber fixings are required. Supply Holes Only thru Steel and Threaded studs
welded to Steel (No Nuts / Washers)
Model all Concrete Fixings. These may be excluded from our contract but we’ll
appear on reports for Construction Manager to review at time of order.
When Modelling HD Bolt / Threaded Rods please ensure the profile is called up as:
TRD 16, TRD 20 Etc.:
3D Marking Plan to be provided for TB / TF Bolts Refer Sect 11.2
Review Design Drawings / Specification and ensure all Bolt Tensioning Methods are
designated: Eg M20 Gr 8.8/TB
Any bolts without Bolt Tensioning to be Clarified by Engineer.

If supplying bolt s for TIM Inserts ensure 30mm additional length is allowed for
embedment
Ensure No Washers are selected on the purlin Bolt Assemblies for (PB Bolts)
Ensure Standard bolt Assemblies the washer under the bolt head is selected Only
(Not Under Nut)
This will enable the Bolt Summary Report to report correctly for additional Nuts &
Washer requirements.

Ensure Main Part of HD Bolt Assembly is the Main Plate. (Template / Cast In Plate)

H D Bolt assemblies to discuss during Gate Meeting.

Typically we’ll supply a full lower cast in plate and a 3mm upper matching template.
This will need to be confirmed for installation and reo clearances.
If using washer plates cast in ensure the upper 3mm template plate comes with
additional Nuts to Retain in location.

Grade 8.8 Material (Nuts / Threaded Rods) Can only be Welded under Special
Circumstances.
Seek Engineering Approval changing Material Grade to 4.6

Page 13 of 75
Review Purlin bolts when used thru Multiple members.

EG: Back to Back Purlins / Flybraces / Packers. Use Standard Bolt Nut & Washer.
Typical purlin bolts don’t have the length and the Bolt Report will summary PB16x35
@ 130 Long.

Page 14 of 75
10.6 Lock Nuts & Thread Exclusion.

Ensure you review project Specifications for Bolting Methods. We have had a few
projects recently with very stringent bolting requierments.
Threads Excluded From Shear Plane.
Lock Nuts (Locking Method to be Specified by Engineer)
Check Sufficient threads are provided
Minimum One clear thread shall be above the nut after tightening
For Tensioned Bolts based on NZS 3404 Part Turn tensioning the minimum number
of clear threads run out beneath the nut after tightening shall be:
Five Threads for Bolts up to and including 4 Diameters
Seven Threads for Bolt Lengths over 4 Diameters but not exceeding 8 Diameters.
Ten Threads for all bolt lengths over 8 Diameters.

Page 15 of 75
Page 16 of 75
10.7 Cold Formed Purlins & Girts

Typical manufacturer is Dimond, but Steel & Tube and Metalcraft also supply cold
formed items.
Confirm with project manager which type is to be used as it will affect the fastbrace
codes and details, the main items are usually interchangeable.
(See typical Dimond information in section 17)
All purlins and girts are a modified C-section, i.e. no Z-section is available in New
Zealand.

DHS350 and DHS400 are only rolled in Auckland and generally have a longer
delivery time than the smaller sections.
All bolts in purlins and girts to be plain holes for PB bolts.
All fastbrace holes to be 18 diameter, the ridge and eave purlin holes are offset
25mm each side due to the clip angle – Ensure Bolts are provided at the ends of
fastbraces
Fastbrace is only available up to the DHS300 sizes, for larger sizes a conventional
hi-span continuous bolted channel system is to be used.
Do not use alternating rod and channel bracing even if specified.
If back to back purlins are specified ensure that a loose packing plate is added at the
affected bracing lines.
Note: Bracing Macro No. 80 on Page 13
Bracing Codes (*** = DHS Size)
FBA*** , fastbrace (clips both ends)
FBC*** , eaves fastbrace (bolted one end)
FBD*** , ridge fastbrace (bolted one end)
FBCX*** , adjustable eaves brace
FBDX*** , adjustable ridge brace
BB*** , standard channel brace (bolted both ends)
BBX*** , adjustable bolted brace
SB , Special Bridging Refer Notes on Bridging Report.

A report is supplied to specify the overall length of each brace required.

No part or assembly drawings are required for the bracing.

Note: All cold formed items are supplied direct from manufacturer to site, do not
skew cut ends, or notch items, as any modifications to the product will need to be
done on site.

For smaller projects the cold formed items can be ordered in one package but for
larger projects it is preferable to separate the purlins and girts into bundles using the
lotting tool in Tekla.
(The bracing does not need to be bundled)

GPB Brackets need to be included on the Bridging Report – For Ordering Purposes.
Sag Rods to be ordered with Cold Rolled Items – Run the Sag Rod Report.
No Sag Rods to be supplied in fabrication packages

Page 17 of 75
Ensure Lengths shown on fastbrace report are the actual purlin spacings (No 2mm
deductions)

Smallest Lengths of Fastbrace produced = 171mm

10.8 Reid Bracing

Reidbrace is a standard rod bracing system available off the shelf.

Ensure Grade = 500_Reidbar
Finish = “N” – Black or “G” Galvanised. Use Galvanised as Default UNO
When Placing Reid Bars Ensure the Comment field in User Defined is completed to
either BAN or STD
BAN = Banana ends both ends
STD = Standard Fittings (Banana / Standard)
If the comments field s left blank the End fittings Noted on the report will not appear.
A report is supplied to specify the length of reidbar required for each brace.
No part drawings are required for Reidbraces. (Assembly Required)
When Modelling Bars ensure length of brace is the required length of bar
(Reductions taken off Node Points for fittings.)
Ensure End Fittings have required edge Distances / Packers & Clearance for Pins
Holmes Consulting Group does not allow the use of reidbraces, they will specify an
“XR” bracing turnbuckle system on their drawings.
These braces will require part and assembly drawings as all items have to fabricated
or manufactured.
Refer Examples – Section 21.

Standard Bars come in 9m Length.

Ensure latest report template is used. Specifying One additional Bar per Dia to cover
Wastage.
If couplers are to be used. Maximum of 2 couplers per brace

Note:
When supplying Oversize End Fittings to Bars ensure sleeves are noted and
modelled.
EG: RB25 Banana ends to RB20 Rods

Page 18 of 75
Page 19 of 75
10.9 Weld Preps

Weld preps are to be modelled for all full penetration butt welds in shafts.
To Ease Fabrication (Minimise rotation of steel for welding) review the assembly and
determine orientation of preps.
Preferably prep from one side and keep all welds in down hand position.

If full penetration welds are specified for beam webs submit an RFI requesting a
change to fillet welds.

Weld preps on plates are generally not modelled but add a symbol to the fitting
sheet.

Refer Section 22

Where brace cleats are designed welded to beam Web. Ensure cleats are hard up
to web with no weld reduction or prep.

Workshop to handle radius preps.

Page 20 of 75
10.10 Shear Studs

Shear studs for all light gauge metal decking systems are generally applied to the
beams on site (ensure no paint top flange is noted on assembly drawing).
Shear studs on concrete encased columns and beams for precast concrete floor
systems are generally shop welded.
Starter Bars are also generally shop welded but some may need to be site welded
where a metal decking system is used.

Ensure Fitting Sheets are created for All Studs / Cast in’s associated with Steel
Assemblies

Check Strumis & Ensure all studs are in Reports

Location of studs to be no closer than 40mm from any adjacent steelwork

Ensure shear studs are given a part prefix “w”. This will enable them to be tracked
thru Strumis and reported on.

10.11 Timber Fixings

Review both structural and architectural drawings to check if timber fixing holes or
threaded studs are required at any locations.
Also check the architect’s drawings to confirm if there are any loose or
miscellaneous items shown on their drawings.
If in doubt about any architectural details discuss the matter with the project
manager to confirm our scope of work.
Generally the structural drawings will define the member sizes and connection
details, and the architectural drawings will define the grid set out, and dictate the
location of any steel not centred on grid lines.

Page 21 of 75
10.12 Beam and Plate Notching

All Beam Copes / Notches are to be modelled.

Ensure all cut outs have a 10mm Radius for Re-Entrant Corners.
Ensure Minimum Depth of notch to be 35mm from underside of Flange.
If specified less by Engineer. Raise an RFI to obtain alternative to obtain

Page 22 of 75
10.13 Seal Plates.

Avoid bevel welds on capping plates, baseplates, and end plates.

Either extend or setback the edge of the plate so that a fillet weld can be achieved.
Do Not detail stiffeners flush with the end of a beam these would require bevel
welds on one side.
Detail an end plate that can be fillet welded.
End Plates to Rhs / Shs Sections to be reduced in size & Corners Radiused

Page 23 of 75
10.14 Stiffeners.

Do Not detail stiffeners flush with the end of a beam these would require bevel
welds on one side.
All Plates to have 11mm Radius Modelled at internal Corners for Painted Steel
All Plates to have 30x30 Snipe for Galvanised Steel

Page 24 of 75
10.15 Fly Braces

Pegasus Preferred Fly Brace 75x6 CA (Duragal Angle)

35 Min Edge distance to Inside Face of Angle (To Enable Angle master Punching)

Review Engineering Design (Submit RFI seeking change to Pegasus Prefered.)

Page 25 of 75
10.16 Loose Plates & Fittings

No Items are to be wired for Transport.

If an item is to be bolted or welded on site it is to be detailed and drawn as a Loose
Assembly.

10.17 Sub Assembly / Super Assembly

All welded frames / Cranked Rafters & Columns are to be broken into Sub
Assemblies.
If uncertain as to the extent of Sub Assemblies. Please check with fabrication prior
to detailing.

Creating Sub Assemblies / Super Assemblies

Inout the members that create Sub Assembly as per normal.

Assign Part number as normal (eg: mm 1000)
Assign Assembly Number XMR1000
X = Sub Assembly
M = Project Identifier (Refer Section 3 Detailing Guidelines)
R = Rafter (Refer Section 6 of Detailing Guidelines)

Page 26 of 75
Weld All Cleats to each main shaft. Once each beam has the required connections
welded.
Turn on Select Assemblies

Select the 2 Sub Assemblies Right hand mouse click “Assembly” “Make into
Assembly”

Page 27 of 75
With the Assembly Created
Double click for beam properties and Replace the prefix “XMR” with the Project
Identifier & Assembly Prefix = MR

If you find you have been locked out of changing Assembly Prefix as shown below

With the select Assemblies turned on. Double pick the member and get the
properties of the assembly. Remove the Prefix.
You should now be able to go back in to the Part Properties and edit.

Create the Strumis file.

Once imported into Strumis you’ll notice it only imports the Sub-Assembly Drawing /
Details
You’ll have to manually add the main assembly

Page 28 of 75
10.18 Stock Material

All ledger angles, raking angles, flat bars, and plate are to be modelled in stock
lengths of 6m.
Angle sizes larger than 100 x 100 are generally available in 9m
RHS, SHS, are available in 8, 12m lengths
CHS are available in 6.0, 6.5, 12m lengths
UB, UC, PFC are available in 6, 9 12, 15m lengths (18m for larger sizes only)

Any Fabricated Assembly over the Stock Length Material Needs to have Stock
Beams modelled and Butt Splice Joints shown prior to Sending for Approval.
Check with Production of available material lengths prior to adding splices
Eg: Rafter 21m = 12m + 9m Stock (Don’t model a full 21m Rafter)

Minimum Plate Thickness =6mm (Seal Plates Etc:) Do NOT Specify any 5mm Plates
HD Bolt Templates = 3mm Plate (Outsourced)

Page 29 of 75
10.19 Double Brace Cleats

If Brace Design Calls for 2 clevis plates to be slotted into hollow section.
Remove central hollow section as this gets damaged and cannot be welded during
Fabrication.
Replace as per detail below.
The Clevis end plates will be fabricated prior to install on member.

10.20 IFC Models

At the start of each project check to see if there is an IFC Model Available.
IF No IFC Model is available seek Real World Co-Ordinates for Buidling setout.
NOTE:
IFC Models to be used as reference Models Only.

All Tekla Models to be generated on X-0,Y-0, Co-Ordinates.

Z Coordinate to suite Project.

Page 30 of 75
10.21 Precambered Beams / Preset Frames

Ensure All Precambers are noted on Assembly and Part Drawings.

In house we Precamber Beams up 410UB60 Beams

Over this they will be Outsourced and will need to be on an individual Fabrication
Package.

Review Qty of Precambers over 410UB. If there is only a handful we may hot roll
inhouse. Discuss with Fabrication.

Check Details required for Outsourced Custom Welded Beams (One Assembly
Drawing or Individual Plate Drawings equired)

Page 31 of 75
10.22 Protected Zones

Any Assembly with a Protection Zone indicated. Needs to have this identified on
the matching shaft drawing.

10.23 Folded Plates

Where Engineers Design calls for plates to be fabricated & welded .

Seek Approval for Alternate Section
Standard Angle with the legs cut to suit or Folded Plate
As a rule of thumb the Fabrication Plate Length = (Leg+Leg -2 x Plate Thickness)

Page 32 of 75
10.24 Backing Bars

Where Hollow sections are required to be Full Penn Butt welded together.
Please ensure you model the required backing plates.

Page 33 of 75
10.25 Curved Plates

Any Plates Curved in the Vertical Plane need to be modelled as Polybeams

Any Plates Curved in the Horizontal Plane to be modelled as Contour Plates.

This Enables the NC Files to be created correctly.

10.26 Slotted Member:

When installing bolts with slotted holes. Use the Slot function in the Bolt
Properties.

Do NOT install multiple bolts over top of each other.

Ensure Bolts Hole type = Oversize unless you specifically need slotted holes.

Page 41 of 75
12.1 Assembly / Part Drawings

Assembly drawings are required for all items except Fastbraces

Ensure main part “mark face - north” orientation is turned on for column drawings.
Running Dimensions are required for all longitudinal dimensions.
Ensure all running Dimensions Start from the same point (Left Hand side of the
Drawing) and all cleats are dimensioned to the left hand face.

Note: If you have identical / Opphand Assemblies please ensure dimensions style /
setout is the same for each.
Workshop will lay these back to back where possible and align cleats from there.

Ensure all Cuts / Bevels are noted on the Drawing (Angle Format “2 Decimal
Places” – Refer Example)

Triangular “check” dimensions & Transport Envelope Dimensions are required for all
cranked assemblies.
i.e. stair stringers, rafters, portal columns.
Overall check dimension is to be as long as possible to increase accuracy but is not
to exceed measuring tape length of 10m.

Do Not show check Dimension from ends of steel. It needs to be points measured
along the shafts.

The Pegasus Engineering Workshop Template is to be in the bottom left corner of

all A1 and A3 assembly drawings (excludes purlin and girt drawings)

A3 or A1 sizes are used for assembly drawings but the workshop will only be
supplied with an A3 size hard copy so the A1 size must be able to be read at the
reduced scale.
Print out A1’s at A3 size and review to check if the information is clear.

Part Drawings are required for all *p , *h , *m and *w items.

Any plates / Shafts that require weld Preps are to a have a symbol shown on the
fitting sheet so the edge can be prepped prior to assembly.
Any Precambers to be Clearly shown on the part drawings.

Ensure all Cuts / Bevels are noted on the Drawing (Angle Format “2 Decimal Places”
– Refer Example)
All shafts are to have running dimensions to all holes for QA purposes.
All pipes are scalloped and slots manually programmed/cut on the pipe machine.
(See sample drawings for typical information required)
A4 is the preferred fitting sheet size but A3 can be used if required.
Note: Purlins and Girts are detailed on A4 Cold Rolled sheets as these are a
manufactured item and do not go through the workshop.

Ensure all Sub Assembly / Super Assemblies Cross Reference to Each other.

Page 42 of 75
12.2 Marking / Layout Plans

Steelwork Layouts use an MP Numbering series

Holding down layouts use HD. Numbering series
The number depends on the size of the project, i.e. for small projects use MP1000,
MP2000, etc.

The first drawing is usually a 3d view with assembly numbers.

Each separate phase will require a 3d drawing showing that phase only.
Then plan views at each level , followed by elevations, and any details.
Typically use the engineers’ drawings as a guide as it makes it easier to check and
compare the marking plans against the design drawings.

Do not show cold formed items on structural steel marking plans, create separate
drawings showing cold formed items only, indicating bundle numbers for the larger
projects.

All marking plans to be A1 size, but will be supplied to site as A3 hard copies so they
need to be clear at the reduced scale.
Print out drawings at A3 size and review to check if the information can be read.
It may be necessary to split plans into different areas so that the view scale can be
reduced.
Generally 1:100 is the maximum allowable scale but this will need to be reduced for
complex areas, i.e. stair layouts
Use a scale to maximise the view size on the drawing, the information needs to be
as clear as possible.

Typically use 3mm text as a minimum size.

3D Perspective Drawing Clearly Noting any TB/ TF Bolted Connections to be

supplied
(Refer Example Section 18)

Ensure All Marking Plans have the Site QA Template located in the Lower Left hand
corner of the drawing sheet

Page 43 of 75
12.3 Drawing Revisions

All Drawings Issued Internally & Externally are to have Revision Descriptions &
Dates Completed.

P1 /2 Etc.: Preliminary For Information

A / B Etc.: Approval / Re-Submittal
0 / 1 Etc.: Fabrication / Construction.

Any Drawing once Issued For Fabrication / Construction is to clearly have the
Revised Area Clouded & a clear Description noted.

In the Case of Fitting Sheet revisions especially where there has been a Quantity
Change. This is to be noted
E.g.: 5 Extra Plates Required – 3 Less Plates Required.

13. Approval Issue

A full set of pdf’s is to be submitted to the project manager for approval on each
phase of a project, which he will forward to the engineer:
All Marking plans for that phase
All Assembly drawings for that phase
Purlin & Girt drawings (if applicable)
ReidBrace Report (if applicable)
Drawing List report

A Tekla Bimsight & IFC model is to be supplied with every Approval issue.

Zip all files and copy them to the appropriate folder on the server under the project
number, i.e. Shop Drawings/Approval.

14. Fabrication Issue

When the approval issue drawings are returned copy the files to the appropriate
folder on the server under the project number
I.e. Shop Drawings/Approved.

When all approval comments have been incorporated update the drawings and
resubmit any for approval if required by the engineer.

For the workshop fabrication issue we require a copy of the model if it has been
outsourced so that we can create the Raptor files for the Peddinghaus equipment.

Page 44 of 75
Workshop fabrication issue;

If the project detailing has been outsourced we require pdf’s for all drawings and
reports, and CNC files for all shafts and plates.
Purlins , Girts, Fastbrace and Reidbrace do not require CNC files.

If the project has been detailed in-house we require;

Hard copies of all assembly drawings and 3d view of phase – A3 size
Hard copies of all fitting sheets – A4 size
Hard copies of Strumis Assembly List, and (Strumis Part List x 2)
CNC files of all plates and shafts
All fabrication Packages to Checked against Strumis Reports.

A Tekla Bimsight model & the Model DB1 File of the fabrication package is to be
supplied.

15. KSS Files

Prior to the fabrication submittal the project manager may request a .kss file to be
exported from the model.
This report is run on the main shafts only, and does not include any plates or cold
formed items
The .kss file is imported into Strumis and combined to determine the quantity and
stock lengths that best match the material required so that wastage is minimised.

In Tekla select the steel required

Go to File, Export , Mis…

Change the default Mis type from “DSTV” to Fabtrol/KISS

Change the default Mis List File to name required , i.e. phase 1

Click on “Create Selected”

The .kss file will be in the model folder

All Sequences in Strumis = Numerical Only. Do Not Include Alpha Characters.

15.1 DSTV / NC Files

Ensure No Scribing & No Pop marks are turned on.

Ensure there are no underscores / spaces in file names.

EG:

PM_1000 / PM 1000 = PM1000

25. Project Variations

Any Design / Project Variations are to be Discussed with PM & QS to verify Extent /
Acceptance before proceeding
Once a Variation is accepted to proceed QS will issue a Variation number for this
work.

New Steelwork relating to the variation is to then be modelled in the Original Project
Model under this Phase Number.
This Phase / Variation number is then to appear on the drawing sheet as the
Contract Number along with the original Contract number.
EG: Contract 7874 (Original Project)
Variation Number = 7962

Variation Steelwork is to be inputted into Strumis under the original Contract Number
(Eg:7874)

Note:

If the variation is simply adding Holes / Cleats to an already originally modelled

member then the Project number remains unchanged.
New Cleats to be placed on Class 13

Original Scope = Original Contract No.

Re-Work – Original Contract No.
New Members = Variation No.
