Fastener Technological Parameters

Symbol support assignment

From the list, select:

• Unspecified: the default symbol support is displayed.
• Process Type: the symbol support is displayed according to the symbol code assigned to the reference fastener type. By default, if no symbol is assigned to a reference fastener type, the symbol code value is (101).

  Important: Users can see customized symbols in the 3D area only if Process Type is selected.

• Zone Count: the symbol is displayed according to symbol code assigned to the number of joined zones set in the Fst_Standard file. By default, if no symbol is assigned to the thickness count in standard, or if there is no imported standard, the symbol is:

  for 1 thicknesses (1)

  for 2 thicknesses (2T)

  for 3 thicknesses (3T)

  for 4 thicknesses (4T)

  for more than 4 thicknesses

• None: no symbol is applied.

By default, the Symbol Support is assigned to Process Type.

Symbol color assignment

From the list, select:

• Unspecified: the color is white whatever the process category.
• Process Type: the color is displayed according to the color code assigned to the Fastener Process Type in the standard file. By default, if no color is assigned to the Process Type, the default color is:
  • Yellow for Welding
  • Cyan for Adhesive
  • Magenta for Sealant
  • Green for BiW Mechanical
  • White for Unspecified
• Diameter: the color is displayed according to the diameter defined on the fastener.
• None: no color is applied.

Important: The Symbol color assignment options do not apply for customized fastener symbols.

By default, the Symbol Color is assigned to Process Type.

Symbol mark assignment

In the field, define the fastener classification parameter:

• Robustness
• Regulation
• Finish

Note that:

• 1 is for assigning a mark
• 0 is for assigning no mark

This mark is customized using the Fst_Standard file in order to be representative of the a specific fastener classification value.

Here is an instance with "Robustness=Safety":

Therefore, if you assign the 1 mark code for the parameter and value (Robustness=Safety), you will get this mark:

In this case all the fasteners with the same parameter and value will get the mark symbol.
