Structural Steel Design

Hyperion Structures structural design module covers a wide range of design options and flexibility not only for cold formed steel (light gauge steel), but also for hot rolled steel and concrete structures. The program supports AISI, ASD & LRFD, CSA S136, EUROCODE 3 for cold formed sections, and it supports AISC – ASD & LRFD, UBC, BS5950, Eurocode 3, AASHTO – ASD & LRFD, CAN/CSA S16.1 (Canada), SABS 0162-2 (RSA), IS:800 (India), NBr8800 (Brazil), GBJ17 (China), AS4100 (Australia) for hot rolled and composite sections

 

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

It is a rule based framing software which automates the process of generating wall and floor panel fabrication drawings, structural layouts, cut lists, and other material reports. By automating these processes, manufacturers are saving an enormous amount of time in drafting, material reporting, data entry, manufacturing, and correcting all the errors typically made along the way.

3D Modeling

Framing rules, details, wall heights, material lengths, optimum panel lengths are defined by the user in the system’s relational database. Based on these settings, the system calculates the studs, plates, sills and complete opening assemblies automatically panelizing the walls. Once panelized, the system generates detailed elevations and plate drawings which can be opened, modified and saved with the cutting list information automatically being updated.

Panel Detailing

Hyperion CAD contains the functionality necessary for creating structural layouts and fabrication drawings. This includes all the features for creating walls, doors, windows, roof, ceilings, and floors in 2D layouts and 3D models, as well as, the framing layout features for walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs. It also includes roof and floor truss layout tools for generating the 2D layouts and truss shape drawings.

Fully Integrated with Hyperion Framers for Seamless Design to Production Automation

Fully Integrated with Hyperion Framers for Seamless Design to Production Automation: Once panelized, the system generates detailed elevations and plate drawings which can be opened, modified and saved with the cutting list information automatically being updated. This guarantees framing components will be compatible with the rest of the plan and every component will fit in place at the construction site reducing delays and speeding up the entire construction process. Also generated, is an optimized minimum waste cutting list based upon material types and dimensions defined by the user. Output formats can be modified by the customer to conform to existing production standards. The system is designed to interface with Hyperion Structures manufacturing and production equipment to provide highest levels of design to production automation for structural steel framing
