This paper presents the results of a study that aimed to develop a module for auto connection modeling that can be applied to the structural details design and modeling phase. It was established that the steel connection library database from the structural analysis resulted from the consideration of the input parameters of the 3D modeling program and the guidelines for Korean standard steel connections. The module for the auto connection modeling in steel structures was developed by linking it with the established library database through the use of the OpenAPI software to prove that the developed module carried out the modeling of the six story (steel structure) office building. The productivity and efficiency of the module introduction was verified by comparing the conventional process and the proposed process.

This study is related to the development of a design automation system for the construction design phase of steel structures. The system intended for beam splice friction connections using high-strength bolts. The standard design method and standardization principles that are suggested in the design manual for standard connections using high-strength bolts published by the Korean Society of Steel Construction(KSSC) were reviewed. A structural analysis algorithm was formulated from the review. A design automation system that can automatically calculate the structural design of connections and automatically generate the connection model without separate inputs was developed. To verify the validity of the developed system, its results were compared with the date in the table for the connection design in the Design Manual. The development system was also applied to the sample model. Then the structural design results were compared with the properties of the connection models and drawings created from the results.

This study is aimed at developing the structural design interface module for the brace connections in order to improve the efficiency of the interoperability between structural design and BIM modeling at the construction design phase of steel structures. For this purpose, structural design module is first established according to the algorithm built by structural design standards of domestic and foreign. Then, it is developed interface module which can export the data of 3D model obtained from the BIM design tools to structural design module and feed structural design results back to 3D BIM model. Finally, the efficiency and practicality of the developed interface module is verified by applying to a sample model.
