Export CAD Data

How to export data from different software

1. BEAM/BUILDING ANALYSIS OVERVIEW

  • Generally, AGT Robotics can test beams and buildings with CORTEX to follow these objectives:
    • Validate the compatibility between the CAD software but mostly how the beams and columns are drawn;
    • Welds:
      • Validate that the welds modeled in the CAD software can be read by Cortex; OR;
      • Validate that the auto-generated welds by CORTEX are located at the right position and with the right size.
    • General accessibility:
      • Validate the overall results (what welds can be done with robots) ?
      • Validate main reasons if welds are not supported.


2. PROCEDURE TO SEND BUILDING FOR ANALYSIS

  • Identify a few representative beams OR a entire division that is representative
  • General guidelines to select beams:
    • Check with system specifications and send beams that fits with the specifications (ex: if system supports 48-in section maximum beams do not send beams that exceeds this)
    • For good turnaround from AGT, select less than a 200 beams.
  • To have a general view of the division or the building, it is also a good practice to send the .IFC file (as it supports the relationship between beams and we will see the building as a whole)
