Gratings (3-D SE)

Steel Engineering > Plate, new > Others > Grating DIN 24537, from sketch

You use this function to derive grating steps as per DIN 24537 from a sketch that exists in the drawing

1. First, choose the desired implementation:
2. P Pressed grating (cross-bars made of flat steel)
3. SP Welded pressed grating (cross-bars made of four-bar steel)

2. Choose from the list of suitable dimensions:
3. Bearing bar height (for P)
4. Nominal mesh width (for WP)

3. Then identify the sketch.
4. Specify the bearing bar orientation by identifying a straight edge or specifying two points. This enables the determination of the rotation angle in relation to the x-axis of the generative sketch.
5. HiCAD displays a preview of the grating step. Specify a fitting point on the grating step and the position of this point in the drawing.
6. You can then fit more steps of the selected type or use the middle mouse button (ESC) to end the function.

Please note:

• To fit the grating as sub-part, click and select the corresponding function.
• If the grating is fitted as a sub-part,the active part will be used as the reference part. If the active part is an assembly part, the grating will directly be fitted as a sub-part of this assembly part. If the active part is the main part of an assembly, the new grating is created as a sub-part to the assembly part belonging to the main part. In case of a BOM-relevant active part that is neither an assembly part nor a main part of an assembly, a new assembly will be formed. The active part of this assembly will then become the main part, and the grating the sub-part of this new assembly.
• You can change the gearing bar orientation subsequently. This can be done via the Feature log, or by entering a different rotation angle, or with the Grating step, Change bearing bar orientation function.
