416 — The SE verification record

What you send to the structural engineer so they can check the design themselves.

Note

This lesson also exists in the browser. Work it in ConstructiVision on the web — same steps, same values, so you can follow either and end up with the same panel.

Where it is

Export → SE Verification Record.

What it carries

The dialog lists it exactly:

lift-point and brace-point coordinates, slab-dowel reinforcement specs, centre of gravity and centre of lift, panel weight and squaring diagonals — derived from the same calculator that drives the shop drawing.

Same calculator as the shop drawing matters. The engineer is checking the numbers your drawing was actually built from, not a separate summary that might have drifted from it.

What it deliberately leaves out

The record carries no parametric model data, so an external structural engineer can verify the design independently.

Read that twice, because it is the point of the whole feature.

The record is not the model. Stripping the parametric data is what makes the check independent: an engineer receiving it works from the outputs — coordinates, weights, centres — and reaches their own conclusion, rather than re-running our arithmetic and agreeing with it by construction.

Important

ConstructiVision does not certify anything. It records and propagates engineering information; the verification is the engineer’s, and so is the responsibility for it. This record exists to make their check possible and independent — not to stand in for it.

Two formats

Export JSON is the primary, for a record that goes into a system. Export as CSV check-sheet is offered alongside, for one that goes onto a desk.

Same content; pick by what the engineer will do with it.

What to take away

It sends the numbers your drawing was built from, without the model that produced them — because a check you can reproduce is not an independent check.
