Creating the Detail Outfitting Products

You can create 3D parts and assemble them to form an outfitting product. You can then define the created detail outfitting product as standard or contextual component, to position it.

This task shows you how to:

Create 3D Parts

You can create 3D parts and apply material on them.

  1. In the top bar, select Add > Content.
  2. In the New Content dialog box, select Types > Steel Outfitting > Detail Outfitting Product .
  3. In the Detail Outfitting Product dialog box, specify the title (for example RoundStanchion) and the design range, and click OK.
    Notes:
    • Make sure that the Create 3D Part check box is selected in the 3D Part tab.
    • The Steel Outfitting Design app supports normal and large ranges only.
  4. Right-click the 3D Shape node in the tree and select Insert > 3D Shape.x > Geometrical Set to add a node (for example Geometrical Set.x).
  5. From the Geometric Operations section of the action bar, click Positioned Sketch and select a plane (for example xy plane).
  6. In the Sketcher app, draw a circle.

    For more information, see Sketcher User's Guide: Sketching Simple Profiles: Creating Circles.

  7. From the Compass, click Part Design Essentials.
  8. Create a stanchion by applying thickness to the 2D profile.

    For more information, see Part Design User's Guide: Sketch-Based Features: Creating Pads.



  9. Create the rail holders.
    Single

    90 degrees

    180 degrees

  10. Create a stanchion holder.


  11. Apply material to the 3D parts.
    For more information, see Material Definition User's Guide: Applying Materials.

Assemble 3D Parts

You can assemble 3D parts to create the outfitting product.

Before you begin: Create the 3D parts. See Creating the Detail Outfitting Products.
  1. Perform steps 1 and 2 mentioned in the above sub-task.
  2. In the Detail Outfitting Product dialog box, specify the title (for example StanchionAssy_01) and click OK.
    Note: Make sure that the Create 3D Part check box is cleared in the 3D Part tab.
  3. Right-click the StanchionAssy_01 node in the tree and select Insert > Existing 3D Part.
  4. Select the 3D parts and create the assembly products.
