Generic Catalogue Shapes

The supplied catalogue contains profiles of 7 standard generic shapes which are detailed in the Structural Design User Guide. That manual explains the parameterization method for these shapes. As a result, there are 7 generic macros in the PMLLIB\bocad\upgrade folder in the installation folder, one for updating the Pline set of each standard shape. These are:

Profile Shape

Macro

Tee shape

bocupgradet.pmlfnc

I shape

bocupgradei.pmlfnc

O, Tube, CHS shape

bocupgradeo.pmlfnc

C, Channel shape

bocupgradec.pmlfnc

L, Angle shape

bocupgradel.pmlfnc

RHS shape

bocupgraderhs.pmlfnc

Bulb shape

bocupgradebulb.pmlfnc

If you has other additional shapes, or have parameterized them in a different way from the supplied catalogues, you will have to write their own macro for their own shape based on the most suitable one provided. Please take note of the catalogue profile orientation with regard to the format.
