Profiles and Cut Lists
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.
