Global coordinate system
Enum
X vertical
Y vertical
Z vertical
minus X vertical
minus Y vertical
minus Z vertical
yes
Define the space orientation of the coordinates system for model
Right hand rule applies all the time.
X vertical - X axis goes against gravity
Y vertical - Y axis goes against gravity
Z vertical - Z axis goes against gravity
minus X vertical - X axis goes in direction of gravity
minus Y vertical - Y axis goes in direction of gravity
minus Z vertical - Z axis goes in direction of gravity
* For further explanation see notes below
LCS of cross-section
Enum
ZYX
MinusYZX
MinusZMinusYX
YMinusZX
YZMinusX
MinusZYMinusX
MinusYMinusZMinusX
ZMinusYMinusX
yes
Define the LCS orientation of used cross-section.
With row "LCS of cross-section" the user is able to define, how the LCS of cross section is defined in his software. This will give opportunity to receiving application of SAF file to correctly interpret LCS of cross section with different standard. The x-axis is always in the centre line and all possible cases are described by this enum.
For further explanation see notes below
System of units
Enum
Metric
Imperial
yes
Define the type of units system used in model

Ignored objects
String
StructuralCrossSection;StructuralPointAction
no
Field used for update work-flow
Specify the object(s) that should be excluded from update
Multiple objects are divided by a semicolon
See notes for all SAF objects
Ignored groups
String
SupportsAndHinges;StructuralLoad
no
Field used for update work-flow
Specify the groups(s) that should be excluded from update
Groups are parent to objects - each group consists of multiple objects
Multiple groups are divided by a semicolon
See notes for all SAF groups

ID of model.
Notes
LCS of cross-section:
The graphical interpretation of values for row "LCS of cross-section" is represented below. Please keep in mind that x-axis is always in centre-line of the member. "LCS of cross-section" desribes how is LCS of CSS library handled and how is CSS applied on the the member.
The first axis of the enum is the vertical one, positive direction is Zref. The second axis of the enum is the horizontal one, positive direction is Yref. Last is the axis in cente-line of the member, positive direction is Xref.
