Shape_Ref_# is the Part Number of the
beam automatically given by the system
StrIntSection.1 is a Datum element used to

create the shape being placed. It’s an
external reference of the resolved section
CATPart selected in a catalog of profiles.
StructuralRib.1 is a Structure Design

feature. It contains the extrusion of the
section IntSection.1
StrSkeleton is a Structure Design feature. It

contains the construction elements of the
member.
Material is define at placement time. It is

used by Analysis product
Parameters are extracted from the catalog

of profiles. They are used when you
generate a report.
Published Elements are automatically

generated when placing an endcut on the

shape, for instance.
All these objects are created by the system

when you place a shape!

Selecting a Project (1/2)
1 Select Tools + Project Management
You can access the Project Management tool if you are in the Structure Design workbench.
The Project Resource Management (PRM) file identifies resources (such as catalogs, user
dictionaries, etc.) to the application. Specifically, the PRM file identifies each resource and
its location (directory path). The PRM file also organizes the resources by discipline and
application, associating resources to specific applications. Therefore, you get the correct
resource, Structural catalog for instance, for the resource you are working in .

Structure Design
Student Notes:
What about Skeletons?
The skeleton of a part or a product is a set of

specifications that constitutes functional
characteristics of the part or the product.
The set of specifications is made up of:
Geometry and/or parameters (functional specifications)
Physical and mechanical properties
that are used to design the part or the product
The skeleton of a part or a product can contains:
Wireframe elements (sketches, lines, points, planes …)
Surfaces and possibly solids
Parameters, relations, rules, checks
The skeleton of a product can
be defined and stored in one
(or more) part that must be
specified as “Not Visualize in
the Bill Of Material”

Structure Design
Student Notes:
Creating Grids in 3D (1/3)
This is the general process to create grids.
1 Select the Grid icon Grid
Grid
2 Enter a name for the grid
This name is mandatory.
3 Select the creation mode
In the absolute mode, grid planes are positioned

with respect to the grid origin. Planes can be
repositioned independently of one another.
In the relative mode, grid planes are positioned
with respect to each other. Moving a plane
impacts other planes offset from that plane. This

is the default mode.

Structure Design
Student Notes:
4 Enter absolute coordinates in the Origin frame or

select a point in the 3D to define the grid origin.
If you select a point, the point is identified in

the dialog box. The grid origin is now linked
to this point.
5 Select the Cartesian tabpage and enter

H and V values to define the local x-axis
or,
Select the Polar tabpage and enter an
angle to define the polar axis or,
Select a line in the 3D.
If you select a line, the line is identified in

the dialog box. The first direction is now
linked to this line.

You can create a grid on XY plane

by omitting to specify the spacing
number and the spacing value for
the Z axis.
7 Select the More button if you

want to create an uneven grid
8 Specify the other sets of grid coordinates.
You MUST specify the first set of

coordinates at step 6.

Student Notes:
What About Shapes ?
A Shape is a CATPart define by its:

Section coming from a standard catalog,
a user catalog,
Anchor Point: the point at which you
anchor the section along the support axis,
Orientation and its,
Material.
When you place a beam the system create:
StrIntSection.1, the sketch of the section
Structural Rib.1 which contains the sketch
of the section and later on cutbacks (splits).
StrSkeleton which contains the wireframe
support.
Published elements: Start cntr, End cntr,
Support cntr which are the wireframe
elements of the member support and others
used to instantiate Endcuts (e.g.)
