Grasshopper Component which read ST-Bridge file(.stb) and display its model information.
You can easily check frames and present structure frame!!
As a experimental function, it creates an analytical model of Karamba from st-bridge data.

Install

  1. Download HoaryFox.gha file from food4rhino or release page
  2. In Grasshopper, choose File > Special Folders > Components folder. Save the gha file there.
  3. Right-click the file > Properties > make sure there is no "blocked" text
  4. Restart Rhino and Grasshopper
  5. Enjoy!

Please see the documentation site for detailed instructions.

Usage

Input st-bridge file path, output some its tag data(StbColumn, StbGirder, StbPost, StbBeam, StbBrace, StbSlab). Please refer to Samples directory files and see the documentation site for detailed instructions.

Karamba3D Integration

Conversion of data into Karamba3D supports only beam elements.
Mesh elements such as floor and wall are not supported.
L-type and C-type cross-sections are replaced by rectangular cross-sections with equivalent axial cross-sections because Karamba3D does not support them.
Output is only STB2.0 supported.

What is ST-Bridge

Quote from building SMART Japan Structural Design Subcommittee doing making specifications of ST-Bridge.

ST Bridge is the standardized format for data sharing in Japan’s structural engineering industry.

  • Simpler to use than IFC due to the clearly defined the range of use
  • Integrate Japanese original methods of drawing methodology (Grids, part placement and section annotations, reinforcement information)
  • Aim for coordination between domestic structural applications, building skeleton surveying applications, 3D Object CAD
