Note

• FrameWorks Plus only writes steel and aluminum members to the neutral

file.

Neutral File Name - Displays the name of the neutral file to write.

Select - Activates a dialog box used to define the directory and file name of the

neutral file to write. The defined file name and directory is displayed in the Neutral

File Name field.

Engineering Firm Name - Specifies the engineering firm name to write to the title

packet.

Client Identification - Specifies the client identification to write to the title packet.

Structure Name - Specifies the name of the structure to write to the title packet.

Project ID - Specifies the project identification to write to the title packet.

Design Code - Specifies the design code used. This information is written to the title

packet.

Issue Code - Specifies the issue code to write to the title packet.

Revision Code - Specifies the revision code to write to the title packet.

OK - Writes the steel detailing neutral file using the parameters specified.

Cancel - Exits the command.

Steel Detailing Neutral File Format The file is written sequentially with a maximum record length of 132 characters. All

records (except the fixed-format Packet identification records) are free formatted,

with fields delimited by blanks (white space). Coordinate values are in the global

coordinate (X, Y, Z) system.

Note

• FrameWorks Plus does not support some records in the linear member,

plate element, hole element, and arc member packets. However, the

records are included in the Steel Detailing Neutral File format because

manufacturing software may use them.

50 FrameWorks Plus Reference Guide

The following values are used to define format:

• FP - Used to indicate a Floating Point value, for example, "12.15" or "1"

(decimal optional).

• I - Used to indicate an Integer value, for example, "5" (range of values: +/-

2 billion).

• Cnn - Used to indicate a character value of nn characters maximum, for

example, C10 -- up to 10 characters including blanks. Character strings

must be enclosed in double quotes ("example string").

• fixed - Used to indicate that a record must have exact content as shown in

the example.

Except for the fixed format records, the data may start in any column of the record.

Comment Cards Comment cards can be inserted anywhere in the file, provided that the line begins

with the # character in the first field.

Format: #comment

Examples:

# This is a comment record

# Title Packet

# Linear Member Packet

Depending on the Plate Periphery setting in Record 2, the records that define the

vertices locations have different formats.

For Linear Edge Plates (0 in Plate Periphery) and Complex Edge Plates (1 in Plate

Periphery), the plate geometry is defined by n records for the top face and n records

for the bottom face, where n is the number of vertices from Record 2. Each record

contains the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a vertex followed by a flag that indicates

whether the current vertex and the next vertex are joined by a line or by an arc.

For Circular Plates (2 in Plate Periphery), two records, one for the top face and one

for the bottom face, define the plate geometry. Each record contains the X, Y, and Z

coordinates of the center point followed by the radius.

Packet 22

"feet" "feet" 3

For Record 3 on: Each hole is represented by a variable number of records that

follow:


1 Hole ID I 00200006 Format is XXXZZZZZ, where XXX is the model ID

number and ZZZZZ is the hole ID. The hole ID is

formatted with leading zeros.

line segments and arcs in the periphery;2=Circular hole

Thickness FP 1.125 Hole thickness

Number of

Vertices per

Face

I 5 -1 if hole is circular. For linear and complex holes,

indicates number of vertices on a hole's face with each

straight edge along the periphery connected by two

vertices and each arc segment connected by three

vertices.

Record 2 example: 0 1.125 5

Depending on the Hole Periphery setting in Record 2, the records that define the

vertices locations have different formats.

For Linear Edge Holes (0 in Hole Periphery) and Complex Edge Holes (1 in Hole

Periphery), the hole geometry is defined by n records for the top face and n records

for the bottom face, where n is the number of vertices from Record 2. Each record

File


contains the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a vertex followed by a flag that indicates

whether the current vertex and the next vertex are joined by a line or by an arc.

For Circular Holes (2 in Hole Periphery), two records, one for the top face and one

for the bottom face, define the hole geometry. Each record contains the X, Y, and Z

coordinates of the center point followed by the radius.
