|
| [[File:MediaWiki Example Image Format.PNG]] | | =Design Information= |
| | *[[Important Updates]] - A changelog of product updates or stock quantities that change how we draft |
|
| |
|
| =Design=
| | *[[Site Measurements]] - An overview of the types of site details drafter receive and their utility |
| ==Terminology==
| |
| *<b>CADHS</b> | |
| The Computer Aided Design Handover Sheet (CADHS) is a document in all job folders that displays the product, fixing type and finish as well as any special considerations needed for drafting.
| |
| *<b>Prefab</b>
| |
| Used for automatically generating premade customisable steel and concrete structures such as ramps, stairs and curved walkways.
| |
| *<b>Construction Line</b>
| |
| Construction lines are used as a guide for creating custom base structures as well as custom pipes, panels and stanchions.
| |
| *<b>Base Structure</b>
| |
| The initial foundation, a representation of where the handrail will be mounted. The base structure is constructed (or imported) in drafting software before any product is modelled.
| |
| *<b>Measure</b>
| |
| Used for measuring to snapping points, such as orthogonal points, horizontal and end points. Can also measure angles.
| |
| *<b>Tracing Tool</b>
| |
| The most common way to add Moddex product to a model. Allows the user to create a length of handrail, with customisable traits.
| |
| *<b>Drag & Drop Tool</b>
| |
| Another way to add Moddex product to a model. Allows the user to generate handrail along the entire length of a prefab structure, with customisable traits.
| |
| *<b>Stanchion</b>
| |
| A post that supports the pipe or panels. Stanchions are given a specialized code depending on their purpose.
| |
| *<b>Fixings</b>
| |
| Fixings are the screws and bolts that attach a Moddex handrail to the base structure.
| |
|
| |
|
| *<b>Redraw</b> | | *[[Austrailan Standards]] - A Brief guide to AS1428 and AS1657, the two common guidelines followed in Australian handrails |
| An action in Tekla Structures for deleting temporary graphics and refreshing views. If there are any visual problems with your model always redraw before asking for help.
| |
| *<b>Green</b>
| |
| An extra length (commonly 150mm) of material that is left on a pipe before bends and cut afterwards. Green is always placed on the shortest end of the pipe. When creating a Pick & Pack List, the extra green length appears on the Pick list, but not the pack list.
| |
| *<b>Black</b>
| |
| A finish required for all fabricated parts. Black finish means that there is no galvanization on the steel and therefore safe to weld. | |
| *<b>Numbering</b>
| |
| Used for allocating part & article numbers to parts and assemblies so they can be individually identified in drawings during production and installation.
| |
| *<b>Pick & Pack List</b>
| |
| Picking and packing is the process of selecting and packaging products in a warehouse. This includes 'picking' the right type and number of products from inventory and 'packing' them for shipment. Pick & Pack lists can be automatically generated through the report feature in Tekla Structures.
| |
| ==Tutorials and Training Material==
| |
| As of December 2023, there has been work on new training reference material for new and existing drafters.
| |
|
| |
|
| These tutorials are made to help assist new drafters with learning the basics of drafting Moddex products in Tekla.
| | *[[Fixings]] - Coverage of the variety of fixings we have in-house |
|
| |
|
| There are also more advanced tutorials to help even experience users to refresh on some of the less used processes in Tekla.
| | *[[Pipes]] - Information on different type pipes and their different applications |
|

| |
| | N/A
| |
| | Used for when creating bent pipe that has a tail less than
| |
| 170mm or a front less than 50mm
| |
| | Green essentially means additional pipe length which is used on pipes that won’t be able to be bent in the bender.
| |
| Green is also used on rolled pipes to allow the machines to roll the pipe.

| |
| MD598 (HDG)
| |
|
| |
| MD498.T4 (Aluminium)
| |
| | Used typically on any curved surface
| |
| Examples includes footpaths, skateparks, and silos
| |
| | Rolled pipe/tube is outsourced and not rolled by Moddex. Because of this, rolled pipe/tube has its own booklet that is
| |
| sent to the company that’s outsourced. Rolled pipe/tube has an additional 300mm of green on both ends, this is so that
| |
| it can be rolled. With double span TR we can use a MD201.48 as a top fitting to allow the rolled pipe to run through, as
| |
| long as the rolled pipe doesn’t have a dramatic radius.

| |
| | Aluminium can be applied to jobs on customer request
| |
| | Aluminium pipe comes in 2 different aging processes, T6 which is used just as straight pipe, and T4 which is used for
| |
| rolling and bending. Jobs using aluminium pipe will need to also use aluminium 300 series fittings.

| |
| | Stainless Steel can be applied to jobs on customer request
| |
| | When used with TUFFRAIL, stainless steel pipe is used at a diameter of 48.3mm
| |
| With this size pipe, Moddex 600 series fittings are used.
| |
|
| |
| When used with ASSISTRAIL, stainless steel tube is used at a diameter of 50.8mm x 1.6mm
| |
| Stainless Steel tube will need to use custom fittings (Hammersmith) as Moddex does not supply standard parts for this
| |
| type of tube.

| |
| | Top rail of Bridgerail
| |
| | 50Nb is used mainly as the top rail of Bridgerail to follow AS5100, standard bridge design.

| |
|
| |
| MD592 (Rolled)

| MD593 (Custom Bend)
| |
| | 32Nb pipes are used mainly in AR jobs that involve VIC
| |
| primary schools which also means it has a max rail height of
| |
| 880mm, and if a lower handrail is required, 680mm
| |
| | 32Nb pipe are only used as handrail, not stanchions. They have their own pipe fittings that are standard Moddex parts.
| |
| In schools we only use 32Nb on double rail systems, this includes;
| |
| AR110, AR120, AR130, AR140, AR160, CB50, and CB55.
| |

| | Extra Light
| |
| | MD504.6500XL
| |
| | Used for extending MD201.48 and MD748.42 as a combo
| |
| | Extra light pipe is used in-between a MD201.48 and MD748.42 to extend the swivel railing bracket out when required.

| <b>Welding</b>
| |
|
| |
| When welding, the only material that needs black is steel.
| |
| Materials such as aluminum and stainless steel do not need or have black pipes.

The Moddex Wiki is a comprehensive resource for information on all of Moddex’s products and systems. It contains detailed product information, Australian standards, Moddex design standards, tutorials, and general rules that we follow.
