Structure Features

The Structure Features options let you customize various operating defaults for Heavy Industry Structure Fabrication.

This page discusses:

Feature Generation Strategy

Generate connection features automatically

Enables the attachment feature to create when updating in-process models (IPMs).

By default, the option is selected.

Generate edge preparation automatically
Enables the edge preparation feature to create when updating in-process models (IPMs).

By default, the option is selected.

Generate inverse bending curve features automatically
Enables the IBC feature to create when updating in-process models (IPMs).

By default, the option is selected.

Generate roll line features automatically
Enables the roll line feature to create when updating in-process models (IPMs).

By default, the option is selected.

Generate roll line for individual patch
Enables the roll line to create for an individual patch.

By default, the option is selected.

Alignment Lines

Default extremity:
Select the extremity for default. Both, Start, End and Center

By default, the Start extremity.

Offset from attachment line extremities
Select the offset amount for the extremity.

By default, 150mm.

Length of alignment mark
Select the length of the alignment mark.

By default, 150mm.

Added Material

Margin to be added:
Select the margin amount to add.

By default, 1mm.

Fit-Up

Margin to be reduced by:
Select the amount the margin to reduce by.

By default, 1mm.

Edge Preparation

Edge Prep Type:
Select the Edge Prep Type for the default, Single_Bevel, Single_Bevel with shoulder, Single_J, Double_Bevel, Double_Bevel with shoulder, Double_J, Square.

By default, the Single_Bevel.

Opening Preparation

Opening Prep Type:
Select the Opening Prep Type for the default, None, Marked, Cut.

By default, None.

Boundary Opening Prep Type:
Select the Boundary Opening Prep Type for the default, Marked, Cut.

By default, Marked.

Plate Forming

Number of roll lines:
Select the number of roll lines.

By default, 1.

Drawing

Generate unbroken view based profile fabrication sketches:
Select to generate an unbroken view-based profile fabrication sketch.

By default, is not selected.

Minimum step value to create points in Inverse Bending Curve Drawing:
Select a number to generate the minimum step value to create points in Inverse Bending Curve Drawing.

By default, 300mm.

Inverse Bending Curve

Equi-distance IBC
Select for the Equi-distance for the IBC.

By default, is selected.

Profile XML

Profile XML Format:
Select the profile XML format, HGG, or Generic.

By default, HGG.

Part Orientation

To center line orientation
This selects the center line orientation.

By default, is selected.

User-Defined Text

User-defined texts generate for Profile feature planning and can extract to a profile XML for ProCAM (software for profile cutting). These user-defined texts are located at center of profile by default and profile XML contains same text location values. Arrange texts based on the profile cutting length in 3D and profile XML. This enhances the profile feature generation and XML extraction for user-defined texts by applying the user requirement.

Automatic text arrangement
After user-defined text generation, activating allows moving your user-defined texts to other location, they extract to a location where you require them.

By default, is selected.

Start Location:
This value is start location of user-defined texts in profile cutting length is greater than 24 inch

By default, 203.2mm.

Turn off if a bar is less than or equal to:
This value is maximum length of profile to ignore User-Defined Text extraction. If option value is specify for 12 inch and profile cutting length is 12inch, the user-defined text does not extract in XML.

By default, 304.8mm.

Personal Data Processing

Do not store username in output XML
Selecting, this allows you to disable the output of personal data in generated content using a ME - Preferences setting. To avoid functional regressions, the default behavior is to embed personal data in generated content. In this App, the impacted personal data is the user's login ID (username). If selected, the username does not store in one or more generated documents.

By default, the option is not selected.

Resulting Products

Automatically load Resulting Products
Selecting, the resulting products of the loaded items are in the session. Without selecting, the resulting products of loaded items are not loaded into the session.

By default, it is not selected.

Identical Part Management

Activate Identical Profile Management
Enables the position number rule to automatically give each structured element a position number.

By default, the option is selected.
