Structural Engineering Course Outline
- Advanced Commands for Structural Drafting
- Using ARRAY for repetitive structural elements like beams and columns.
- FILLET and CHAMFER for clean structural connections.
- Dynamic Blocks for Structural Components
- Creating dynamic blocks for standard components like reinforcement bars, steel sections, and footings.
- Simplifying repetitive structural drafting tasks with adaptable blocks.
- Templates for Structural Drawings
- Developing templates tailored to structural engineering projects.
- Setting standards for structural detailing, title blocks, and dimensions.
- Layer Management in Structural Drafting
- Organizing layers to separate structural elements (e.g., concrete, steel, annotations).
- Using layer filters to manage intricate structural designs.
- External References (Xrefs) in Structural Projects
- Attaching architectural drawings as Xrefs for coordination.
- Overlaying multiple disciplines to ensure structural integrity.
- Annotative Scaling for Structural Design
- Scaling reinforcement details, dimensions, and hatches.
- Ensuring consistent annotation across various drawing views.
- Practical Exercises
- Drafting a detailed framing plan for a multi-story building.
- Creating sectional details for foundations and structural joints.
