Documentation Comments
We welcome comments or suggestions about this documentation. You can send us an email at:
PPMdoc@intergraph.com.
Documentation updates for supported software versions are available from
https://smartsupport.intergraph.com (https://smartsupport.intergraph.com).
Smart 3D and Oracle

Throughout the software and documentation, there are references and options pertaining to
Oracle databases. Intergraph SmartTM 3D plant mode supports Oracle, but marine mode and
material handling mode do not. Please remember that when using marine mode or material
handling mode, always select the SQL option when given a choice between Oracle and SQL.
What's New in 2D Symbols Reference Data

The following changes have been made to the 2D symbols reference data.
Version 2014 R1 (10.1)
 Added information on Structural Manufacturing requirements for profile and member cross
sections. For more information, see Manufacturing Requirements for Profile Cross Sections
(on page 290) and Manufacturing Requirements for Member Cross Sections (on page 291).

2D Symbols Reference Data
SECTION 1

The 2D Symbols utility is delivered with the software and is used to create symbols representing
profile cross-sections, brackets, slots, collars, end cuts, detailing features, and manufacturing
features in the Molded Forms and Structural Detailing tasks; member cross-sections in the
Structure task; and facilitate using these symbols in a modeling environment.
This document describes all of the 2D symbols that are delivered with the software. The symbol
library is delivered to the SharedContent share in the [Reference Data Product
Directory]\SharedContent folder
You can create your own custom symbols using the 2D Symbols utility. To learn how to create 2D
symbols, refer to the 2D Symbols User's Guide.
Two sets of 2D symbols are delivered: default and marine library. The default set
contains basic symbols suitable for prototyping. The marine library set provides a more complete
set of marine symbols.


SECTION 2
Bracket Symbols
Bracket symbols are delivered in two locations:
 [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Marine Library\Brackets folder. Within the Brackets
folder, the folder hierarchy is further organized by the number of supports and by whether the
bracket is trimmed or lapped.
 [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Brackets folder. Within the Brackets folder, the folder
hierarchy is further organized by the number of supports.

Folder]\SharedContent\Corner Features folders.
Arc Corner Relief Provides a minimal fit-up

bounding object, the corner
feature may only be placed at
the inside corner. When the
bounded object extends
outside the bounding object,
the corner feature may also

SECTION 8
Member Cross Sections

Member cross-section symbols are used in the Structure task.
All section tables delivered with the software use a specific set of cross-section symbols. Some
section tables use all the cross-section symbols in the set; some tables only use a subset of the
cross-section symbols. Each cross-section symbol has its own set of properties. When looking at
a section table workbook, you can determine the cross-section symbol that is being referenced by
that particular sheet by looking at the SymbolDefinition entry at the top of the sheet.
The cross-section symbols are delivered with the reference data software in the [Reference Data
Folder]\SharedContent\CrossSections folder. You can create your own custom cross-section
symbols, sometimes referred to as arbitrary sections, using the 2D Symbols utility that is delivered
with the software.
The software uses the simple physical representation of the cross-section symbol to display the
member geometry in the model. You can change the display representation using the Selected
Aspects option of Format > View.
The delivered symbols contain a detailed physical representation. This representation is available
only for marine models, and is not used for plant and materials handling models.
The delivered symbols also contain a production physical representation. This representation is
available only for marine models in the Structural Manufacturing task, and is not used for plant and
materials handling models.
For more information, see Cross-Section Symbol Representations in the 2D Symbols User's
Guide.

Width Extension (top and bottom) property is not a design property; therefore, the symmetry
calculation is not affected by this property. This non-affect can cause discrepancies between the
symmetry of the cross-section graphic and the IsSymmetricAlongX and IsSymmetricAlongY
properties when non-zero width extensions are defined.

Manufacturing Requirements for Profile Cross

Sections
All profile cross sections must support the IJUAXSectionMfgProperties and
IJUAXSectionMatlProperties virtual interfaces.
IJUAXSectionMatlProperties …
ShearCenterLoc_X
ShearCenterLoc_Y
CentroidLoc_X
CentroidLoc_Y
IJUAXSectionMfgProperties OriginKeyPoint
XDirectionKeyPoint
YDirectionKeyPoint
The Shear Center is the point at which a shear force can act without producing any twist in the
section. The centroid of a cross section shape is the arithmetic mean (average) position of all the
points in the shape.
Shear Center and Centroid are both required properties to unfold a profile part in Structural
Manufacturing. Shear Center gives the axis information about which the profile is untwisted. The
Centroid gives the axis about which the profile is unbent.
OriginKeyPoint, XDirectionKeyPoint and YDirectionKeyPoint values are used only in Structural
Manufacturing to interpret the location of Centroid and Shear Center. Centroid and Shear Center
locations should be given correctly relative to these key points.
The following example shows how to define a cross section centroid with respect to key points
defined in Cross Section work sheet:
Any of the following rows are correct for the previous figure:

OriginKeyPoint XDirectionKeyPoint YDirectionKeyPoint Centroid_X Centroid_Y
1 23 13 15 75
13 15 1 15 25
23 15 1 75 35
Manufacturing Requirements for Member Cross

Sections
All member cross sections must have CrossSectionType information.
Valid Cross Section Type strings:
 BulbFlat
 Channel
 FlatBar
 IBar
 TeeBar
 EqualAngle
 UnequalAngle
 RectangleTube
 SquareTube
 RoundTube
 RoundBar
 SquareBar
 HalfRound.

Member cross sections are not required to support IJUAXSectionMfgProperties or

IJUAXSectionMatlProperties virtual interfaces.
Cardinal Point 10 must be defined in the member cross section symbol at the centroid location.
Cardinal Point 15 must be defined at the Shear Center location.
If the member has a flange, it must support the IStructFlangedSectionDimensions virtual interface
with the following properties:
 d = Web Depth
 tw = Web Thickness
 tf = Flange Thickness
 bf = Flange Width
If the member, such as round tubes, rectangular tubes, Half Round, and so on, does not have a
flange, it must support the IStructCrossSectionDimensions virtual interface.
 Depth = Web Depth
 tdes = Thickness
OR
 tnom = Thickness
This property is read-only if the tdes property does not exist.
