About Supporting a Closed Circular Section Beam

You are able to have manufacturing features that indicate a section and cutting length. As a consequence, Profile Fab Sketch, and Profile Content XML, is available to help fabricate such parts.

Supported Manufacturing Features



OuterContour: Indicating its section and length in the case of closed section stiffeners.

Closed section: A section composed of a closed inner wire and a closed outer wire.

Tips:
  • Bent beams are not covered.
  • Except closed section, all other section types are not covered.
Note: Data Persist:
  • Data created by Part Planning command.
  • Manufacturing features created by Update In-Process Models command.
  • Workshop Document generated by Extract Workshop Documents command.

This impacts:

  • Part Planning [Mandatory]
    • Behavior is the same with the existing part planning command.
    • Complete before the other Heavy Industry Structure Fabrication app commands.
    • Data Model is the same with straight stiffener since this function does not do for bent beams.
    • In the case of Simplified Mode, the results are the same with straight profiles.

  • Update In-Process Models
    • BurnSideUp: creates as per profile Manufacturing feature definition.
    • OuterContour:
      • Using the delimited trace, the outer contour creates with BurnSideUp..
      • OuterContour composes of: Delimited Trace, and a Section view in 25mm offset using the 1 (Start) face.

    • Annotation:
      • BurnSideUp annotation: follows straight stiffener definition.
      • User-Defined Text: follows straight stiffener definition.
      • Cutting Length: Length of delimited trace used in OuterContour.
  • Edit Features command, there are no features to update.
  • Extract Workshop Document: Follows the behavior of straight stiffener but supports workshop documents:
    • Profile Fab Sketch: Data Model of Closed section Beam.

    • Profile Content XML: Regardless of the Preference option HGG and Generic, this creates a XML in a Generic format.

  • Batch Update In Process Command: Same result with Update In-Process Models command.
  • Batch Workshop Document Extraction: To export as profiles for the same types.
