PRODUCT & APPLICATION GUIDE

Prefabricated and welded.
One desktop application.

Structure Cube is MEIGONA’s Windows desktop software for support analysis. Transfer supported CAD/Revit designs through companion plugins to reduce repeated modelling, then review checks, material schedules and reports.

  1. Windows desktop · Local installation
  2. Two support systems · Design transfer

01 / WHY STRUCTURE CUBE

Transfer designs. Reduce repeated modelling.

For designers, engineering consultants and MEP contractors. Transfer supported designs through CAD/Revit plugins, or build the model in the graphical workspace. Review members, connections, loads and results together.

  1. Choose the support system and design
  2. Transfer the design or model visually
  3. Review inputs, calculate and compare
  4. Prepare Chinese / English reports
Actual General-edition home

Experience shapes the arrangement. Calculation informs the decision.

02 / PROJECTS & LIBRARIES

Start with the products your team knows.

Set up the project, then confirm section and accessory data before modelling. All editions support adding, removing and customizing material and accessory entries, with adjustable parameters.

  1. Materials: sections, steel grades and parameters
  2. Accessories: connectors, bases and fasteners
  3. Verify product data before project use

Actual accessory library

All editions share the same standard calculation logic and checking mechanisms. Assisted enterprise library setup and adaptation follow the agreed scope.

03 / PREFAB CASE · MODEL & LOADS

Place the pipes. Make the loads explicit.

This example places three ambient-temperature, water-filled steel pipes on a 1500 mm beam, with 2000 mm support spacing. Pipe sizes and positions define the applied loads.

  1. DN80 / 300 mm / 428 N
  2. DN100 / 750 mm / 577 N
  3. DN150 / 1200 mm / 1122 N
Actual view: three water pipes placed on the beam
Actual pipe-load input

Pipe loads total 2127 N; member self-weight is included separately. This is a self-created example. Confirm actual pipe conditions for project use.

04 / PREFAB CASE · REVIEW

Find the controlling check before making changes.

Identify the member and check that control the arrangement. The initial C41 beam deflects 6.79 mm against a 6.00 mm limit. Understanding the issue gives the next change a purpose.

  1. Locate the member and controlling check
  2. Check span, section and connection conditions
  3. Revise the actual arrangement and recalculate
Initial C41: failed check retained

Initial maximum utilization: 113.20%. The failed check is retained so the issue and subsequent change can be assessed.

05 / PREFAB CASE · SELECTION

Set the selection criteria. Compare the options.

Select from C41 and C41D using the economy-first strategy. This example sets an 80% beam utilization target and a 5 mm deflection target. C41D is selected, followed by a complete recalculation.

  1. Beam deflection: 6.79 → 1.21 mm
  2. Maximum utilization: 113.20% → 29.10%
  3. Columns retained; matching connections updated

Actual check summary

Pipe sizes, positions, span and spacing are unchanged; member self-weight is recalculated. The 80% / 5 mm selection targets are distinct from design-check limits.

06 / WELDED SUPPORT CASE

Welded supports: review members and connections.

This example uses No. 5 channel, an 1800 mm span and 3000 mm support spacing, carrying water-filled DN100, DN150 and DN200 steel pipes. Review the beam, welds, plates and anchors together.

  1. Pipe loads: 866 / 1683 / 3154 N
  2. Deflection: 6.58 mm / limit 7.20 mm
  3. Example maximum utilization: 91.30%
Actual welded-support view
Actual check summary for this example

Pipe loads total 5703 N at 360 / 900 / 1440 mm. Results apply to the displayed inputs and connection configuration, not to other projects.

07 / CAD & REVIT WORKFLOW

Continue from the drawings and models you have.

Transfer supported CAD drawings or Revit models to the Windows application through companion plugins to reduce repeated modelling. Review recognized objects, dimensions, sections and load ownership before analysis.

  1. Select supported supports and services
  2. Review recognized and adopted data
  3. Confirm connections, then calculate

08 / BILINGUAL WORKSPACE & EXPORT

Work in Chinese. Prepare English deliverables too.

The main application supports Chinese and English environments and corresponding report output. Enter the project, report number and author / reviewer details before Word / PDF export.

  1. Choose the application language
  2. Confirm project and review information
  3. Export Word / PDF according to edition rights

09 / BILINGUAL REPORT EXCERPTS

Keep the design basis
with the deliverable.

Actual excerpts from the same prefabricated case: cover, design basis and arrangement. A useful deliverable helps reviewers check inputs, adopted standards and member relationships.

  1. Separate Chinese and English exports
  2. Project details correspond to the arrangement
  3. Complete results require engineering review

Public excerpts are not a complete engineering report and must not be used for actual design. Formal reports must retain the basis, inputs, results and risk information required for review.
