ProStructures WorkSpace Examples
ProStructures delivers
example workspaces that have the same purpose as the previous versions
data sets —the workspace reflects the structural modeling and detailing
practices for a country or region. Different from the Localised subfolders of
Select Series versions:
- A workspace must be either Metric or Imperial and contain data files specific to the unit system (when the files contain unit-based values). The previous Select Series USA_Canada data set is split into two example workspaces.
- A workspace contains an appropriate Rebar project.
- A workspace includes the data files to support the SMC column grid tool.
- The ProStructures and Rebar application data files will be organized in a directory structure like that of ProStructures\Defaults\appl.
The below is the general layout for a
ProStructures WorkSpace Examples.
| Folder path | Description/Configuration Variable |
|---|---|
Configuration\ |
|
+ WorkSpaces\ |
|
+ <workSpaceName>.cfg |
Product-neutral configuration file for the workspace |
+ <workSpaceName>\ |
|
+ ProStructures.cfg |
Temporary configuration file while BEPS and Platform work through the details for product-specific customization. The file checks if ProStructures is running and then includes Standards\ProStructures\application.cfg. |

Sets the ProStructures, Rebar, SMC, etc. configuration variables for the workspace. The file should be heavily documented. |

You are encouraged to create your own setups using the example workspaces as a pattern. Instructions should be provided on moving organization-wide data files up to the Organization level and adding workset-specific data files to the WorkSet level.
