JER2161 Light Void V1.3 CATIA.Part

ELEMENT DESIGN MAP AND USER GUIDEVersion 1.3

[Catalog Name: JER2161Catalog2.catalog]





Version 1.3 (2011-04-19; publicly available same day)

AUTHOR REQUESTED+ Reorganized inputs and outputs into categories for easier reference and use.+ Provided summed quantity takeoffs for the panels and pipes per void. (Thanks, Garth!)+ Provided R-value, air change per hour, and glazing percentage outputs per floor.+ Provided an output that measures the percentage of panel to subdivision pipe per void instantiation. (Thanks, Chris!)

USER REQUESTED+ Provided global control over the radius of the subdivision pipes. (Thanks, Chris!)

Version 1.2 (2011-04-12; publicly available 2011-04-13)

AUTHOR REQUESTED+ Additional input and output parameters that address thermal qualities and quantity takeoffs.+ Input ratio of top and bottom curves in the Power Copy, rather than a set dimension. This fixes instantiation errors that come about if the input points are placed too close together.+ Developed a Knowledge Pattern for instantiating user-created panels.

USER REQUESTED+ Number of input points changed from three to four.+ Verified correct volume outputs.+ Removed PanelCustomUDF and replaced it with PanelStructureOnlyUDF for easier i nstantiation of the element a s a structural device.

Note: The three point version of the void is still available (version 1.1, catalog 1) but will no longer be supported. Use at your own risk!

Version 1.1 (2011-03-27; publicly available 2011-03-28)

AUTHOR REQUESTED+ Streamlined the Catia interface for easier user control by a wider general audience.+ Eliminated VoidFrameworkUDF and VoidSlabOpeningGuideUDF. The LightVoidPowerCopy (formerly known as the CagePowerCopy) is now instantiated on to six, user-created points (three lower, three upper).This allows for a flexibility in design options as well as a flexibility in existing conditions (ie, differing floor to floor heights). This also eliminates steps required for user instantiation.+ Added additional inputs and outputs to the LightVoidPowerCopy and the PanelUDFs.+ Created a pull down menu for panel instantiation instead of having the user instantiate it with a Knowledge Pattern. (Thanks, Garth!)+ Cleaned up and restructured the naming conventions of the Geometrical Sets within the Catia file.

USER REQUESTED+ None.

Version 1.0 (2011-03-11; user guide added 2011-03-21)

+ Personal version used for conceptual and experimental work and Phase 2 (midterm) presentation (released to only Mike Marsh and Nai Wong for testing; not publicly available).

UDF NAME

LightVoidPowerCopy

UDF DESCRIPTION

This is the single floor voiding element on to which the PanelUDF is automatically instantiated based on the drop down menu selection of the user.

GEOMETRY INPUTS

# NAME TYPE NOTES

1 CageInputPointLower1 Point




5 CageInputPointUpper1 Point





The input points will be used to MANUALLY instantiate the LightVoidPowerCopy onto the EIGHT USER-CREATED POINTS (four lower and four upper) that will host this Power Copy. Points are selected in aclockwise manner. The element will break if it is twisted past 45 degrees or is sheared in an awkward direction. To avoid this, use several instantiations of the element and link them together. The PowerCopy isdesigned to span one floor at a time and is best used in that way.

GEOMETRY OUTPUTS

# NAME TYPE NOTES

1 SlabCutPipe Surface Visualization of slab pipe support

2 VoidSolid [hidden by default] Surface Instructions on how to boolean floor slabs: 1. “Join” all of the VoidSolids created by the various instantiations of the LightVoidPowerCopies in your scene. 2. Turn the joined surface into a solid using the “Close Surface” command. 3. Use the resulting geometry to “Boolean” out the existing floor slabs and building structure [these will need to be solids, not surfaces]. The void is now parametric. Adjusting the input points will adjust the size and positioning of the void.


The material takeoffs [panels and pipes] have been intentionally separated out by type [solid, glazing, louvered, structure only] so that the user can write custom Knowledge Patterns, Rules, or Actions to totalseveral copies of the LightVoidPowerCopy together after they have been instantiated.
