What's New in 2D Symbols Reference Data

The following changes have been made to the 2D symbols reference data.
Version 2014 (10.0)
Added information on Structural Manufacturing requirements for profile and member cross
sections. For more information, see Manufacturing Requirements for Profile Cross Sections
and Manufacturing Requirements for Member Cross Sections.
10
SECTION 1
2D Symbols Reference Data

The 2D Symbols utility is delivered with the software and is used to create symbols representing
profile cross-sections, brackets, slots, collars, end cuts, detailing features, and manufacturing
features in the Molded Forms and Structural Detailing tasks; member cross-sections in the
Structure task; and facilitate using these symbols in a modeling environment.
This document describes all of the 2D symbols that are delivered with the software. The symbol
library is delivered to the SharedContent share in the [Reference Data Product
Directory]\SharedContent folder
You can create your own custom symbols using the 2D Symbols utility. To learn how to create
2D symbols, refer to the 2D Symbols User's Guide.
Two sets of 2D symbols are delivered: default and marine library. The default set
contains basic symbols suitable for prototyping. The marine library set provides a more
complete set of marine symbols.
11
2D Symbols Reference Data
12
SECTION 2
Member Cross Sections

Member cross-section symbols are used in the Structure task.
All section tables delivered with the software use a specific set of cross-section symbols. Some
section tables use all the cross-section symbols in the set; some tables only use a subset of the
cross-section symbols. Each cross-section symbol has its own set of properties. When looking
at a section table workbook, you can determine the cross-section symbol that is being
referenced by that particular sheet by looking at the SymbolDefinition entry at the top of the
sheet.
The cross-section symbols are delivered with the reference data software in the [Reference
Data Folder]\SharedContent\CrossSections folder. You can create your own custom
cross-section symbols, sometimes referred to as arbitrary sections, using the 2D Symbols utility
that is delivered with the software.
The software uses the simple physical representation of the cross-section symbol to display the
member geometry in the model. You can change the display representation using the Selected
Aspects option of Format > View.
The delivered symbols contain a detailed physical representation. This representation is
available only for marine models, and is not used for plant and materials handling models.
The delivered symbols also contain a production physical representation. This representation is
available only for marine models in the Structural Manufacturing task, and is not used for plant
and materials handling models.
For more information, see Cross-Section Symbol Representations in the 2D Symbols User's
Guide.

SECTION 3
Wall Cross Sections

Wall cross-section symbols are used in the Structure tasks Wall commands. These wall cross
sections are delivered with the steel sections and follow most of the same rules.
All section tables delivered with the software use a specific set of cross-section symbols. Some
section tables use all the cross-section symbols in the set; some tables only use a subset of the
cross-section symbols. Each cross-section symbol has its own set of properties. When looking
at a section table workbook, you can determine the cross-section symbol that is being
referenced by that particular sheet by looking at the SymbolDefinition entry at the top of the
sheet.
The wall cross-section symbols are delivered with the reference data software in the [Reference
Data Folder]\SharedContent\CrossSections folder. You can create your own custom
cross-section symbols using the 2D Symbols utility that is delivered with the software.
For more information, see Cross-Section Symbol Representations in the 2D Symbols User's
Guide.
