All structural members include the following attributes:
- Structural members use profiles, for example, an angle iron.
- Profiles are identified by Standard, Type, and
Size. You can:
- Create your own profiles and add them to the existing library
of weldment profiles.
- Specify the orientation and pierce point of the profile
relative to the sketch segment.
- Weldment profiles are located in: install_dir\data\weldment
profiles. You can add or change locations for weldment profiles in
.
- All structural members in a single group must use the same
profile.
- Structural members appear in the FeatureManager design tree with the
name and size of the profile you select to create them.
The naming convention is Type
Size(n), where n is the suffix that
indicates the number of identical instances of the feature. For example, if you
insert four rectangular tubes with the size 3 x 2 x 0.25, the structural member
that defines them is named rectangular tube 3 x 2 x
0.25(4).
Bodies created by the structural
members appear under Cut list
or in the FeatureManager
design tree.
- You can assign materials to structural members.
