Project and model specifications

Structure of sheets "Project" and "Model" is different from all the other sheets. Properties are oriented in columns not in rows as usual.

Project

In the list called “Project”, you can specify basic information about your project.

The specification in excel

Project type	String	Building construction	no	The type of the project. The project type can be assigned to e.g. "Building construction" or "Infrastructure construction"
Project kind	String	New building	no	The kind of the project. The project kind can be assigned to e.g. "Extension", "Finish", "New building", "Reconstruction"
Building type	String	Business	no	Kind of use of the building such as Administrative, Residential, etc…
Status	String	Planning stage	no	Status of the project

Id	String	bba1ede8-4106-47fd-b5e1-48637ab87f50	no	ID of project.

Model

In the list called “model” you can specify basic info about your project.

The specification in excel

Name of the row	Type of data	Value example or enum definition	Required value	Description
Name	String	Park Office - object A	no	The name of the model
Description	String	Highrise	no	The description of the model
Discipline	String	Load-bearing structure	no	Discipline can be set as Undefined, Architecture, HVAC, Load-bearing structure, Terrain, Facility etc.
Level of detail	String	Draft	no	Describe level of detail of the model
Status	String	Planning stage	no	Description of model status
Owner	String	Person A	no	Define the owner of the model
Revision number	String	rev.02	no	Current revision number
Created	Date Time	2018-12-16	no	Creation time, in UTC, in ISO format year-month-day
Last update	Date Time	2018-12-19	no	Last update time, in UTC, in ISO format year-month-day
Source type	String	Structural analysis model	no	Definition of the source data
Source application	String	Scia Engineer	no	Definition of the source application
SAF Version	String	1.0.3	yes	Definition of used version of the Structural Analysis Format
Source company	String	Statical company	no	Define the author company of source data
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
National code	Enum	EC-Standard-EN EC-ONORM-EN (Austrian NA) EC-NBN-EN (Belgian NA) EC-BS-EN (British NA) EC-CYS-EN (Cypriot NA) EC-CSN-EN (Czech NA) EC-DS-EN (Danish NA) EC-NEN-EN (Dutch NA) EC-SFS-EN (Finnish NA) EC-NF-EN (French NA) EC-DIN-EN (German NA) EC-ELOT-EN (Greek NA) EC-IS-EN (Irish NA) EC-UNI-EN (Italian NA) EC-LU-EN (Luxembourgian NA) EC-MS-EN (Malaysian NA) EC-NS-EN (Norwegian NA) EC-PN-EN (Polish NA) EC-SR-EN (Romanian NA) EC-SS-EN (Singaporean NA) EC-STN-EN (Slovakian NA) EC-SIST-EN (Slovenian NA) EC-UNE-EN (Spanish NA) EC-SS-EN (Swedish NA) IBC NBR	yes	Sets national code used for structural analysis
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	String	bba1ede8-4106-47fd-b5e1-48637ab87f47	no	ID of model.

Notes

Global coordinate system:

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.

System of units

• Column headers should respect this setting and change unit accordingly, also values should be in specified units

• See table of units for headers

Ignored objects/groups:
