You can
create advanced connections by executing the action rules, set in
Data Setup.
Before you begin:
Open a structure system containing structural objects (panels, stiffeners,
beams).
Set Rules catalog or Rules Library that
contains the required action rule in Data Setup. The administrator can add required rules
to the rules catalog/library. For information about the sample rules, see 3DEXPERIENCE
Native Apps Content Reference Guide:
Content for Structure Apps.
From the
Detail section of the
action bar,
click
Advanced Connection.
The
Advanced Connection dialog box appears.
In the
Type list, select the name of the chapter.
This list is updated as per the action rules added in the rules
catalog or rules library.
In the
Rules list, select the required rule.
Here, we select the KDNV rule assigned in the
Rules catalog.
In the
Geometry tab, select the structural objects.
Depending on the type of action rules,
you need to select the structural objects.Here, we are selecting two stiffeners.
The bitmap image changes as per the
selection.
Click
OK.
The action rule is executed and the advanced connections
are created.
Under the
AdvConnectionSet node, the advanced
connections are created in the
tree.The stiffeners are limited to each other, and an end cut and
a slot are created.
Important:
The action rule is executed once you click
OK. You cannot interrupt the action rule in
between.
The advanced connections cannot be copied.
You can navigate between the advanced connection and its input
and output features. To do so, right-click the
AdvConnection.x in the
tree
and select
Parents/Children. The
Parents and Children dialog box displays the
corresponding input and output features. However, you cannot navigate the
Parents/Children for the advanced
connections created in the previous release.
You can update the advanced connections by using the
Update Advanced Connection contextual
command.
