The following features and functionalities are enhanced in the Hangers and Supports in SDB 12.3.
[New Support] Guide with Extra Sections
Need adjustable base support with circular plates Created new guide supports with extra steel sections supporting the pipe.
Ability to create repad with Lifting Lugs
Created lifting lug supports with repads both on straight and elbow pipelines.
Ability to get DDS Shoe Lugs with different condition on a pipe
Existing DDS_Shoe_Lug supports provided as part of DDS library have the shear lugs at equal angles among them based on the lug’s quantity. Enhancements done in this release are:
-
Angle control among the lugs
-
Provision to add lugs behind and forward of pipe in addition to existing option to add at the top and bottom end of clamp.
Ability to adjust Grout Thickness on Combined Base Plate Support
Combined Base Plate Support assembly makes use of Grout assembly which in turn uses Grout Part. Enhancement done now is ability to adjust the thickness of Grout part based on the data given in Combined Base Plate Support.
Add welds and Drawing Dimensions
Added missing welds and drawing dimensions in a few supports like T Frame, all back-to-back and 3 tier frames.
Requires dimension points on guide support
Added gap related dimensional points to ensure that gap values are seen appropriately in drawings.
DDS_BCFrame - End of brace is needs to be placed on a wall
Braced cantilever needs to place on wall when wall is selected as supporting object.
Need Support height attribute for DDS_BaseSupport_3_03
Added a new attribute "Length" to get the support height for DDS_BaseSupport_3_03.
DDS_EmbSteelFrame with Grout option
The following enhancements are done in Embedded Steel Frame support
-
Ability to use DDS_EmbSteelFrame support with grout.
-
Ability to specify welds between the stiffener plate(s) and member.
Ability to place Combines Base Plate Support by place by reference
Combined Base Plate Supports can as such be placed using "Place by Reference" command. For a specific customer case, issue is observed with "DDS_CmbBasePlate_04 Combined Base Plate with Grout, Guide, Stiffener, 2" to 4" NPD".
DDS_CmbBasePlate_04 support which uses Grout assembly/sub-assembly can only be placed on slabs and not on any other supporting object types. Existing design avoids placement by reference only for this condition.
Enhanced the code to allow placement of DDS_CmbBasePlate_04 by reference as well.
