Abstract

Structural design has a decisive impact throughout the entire lifecycle of a building. With the development of intelligent construction technology, secondary development based on traditional BIM software can achieve automatic modeling functions for intelligent design, significantly improving design efficiency. According to the secondary development interface of Yingjianke structural design software v6.0.0, Python code design is carried out by using the automatic extraction task and data extraction function of Python language. And the actual model parameters are input to generate design examples, verifying the progressiveness and superiority of the developed program. The program is suitable for the application of design on multi-storey frame structures, frame+shear wall structures and steel structures with high complexity.
