Installing HiCAD Catalogue Elements
Generally, you can use every HiCAD Catalogue element with a planar surface for element installation. For this to happen, however, the desired catalogue elements must meet certain requirements, namely:
- At least the variables i_l and i_h must have been assigned to the element.
- A Fitting CS must have been defined.
- The element must exist in the catalogue Factory standards > Installation Planning - Parts and Processings > Element installation > installation elements.
The following example of a rectangular grating (DIN 24537) illustrates the utilisation of existing catalogue elements for element installation:
Step 1: Insertion and parameterization of the sketch for the grating
First, create a step from which the grating step can then be derived.
- Draw a new sketch via Sketch > New > Sketch
- Draw a rectangle with the function Sketch > Draw > Rectangle , e.g. with Width 1000, Height 1500.
- Assign dimensional constraints for the width and the height with the function Sketch > HCM > SmartDimensioning and then select the corresponding lines. The variables i_l and i_h can be directly assigned here.
- Assign parallelism constraints for the left and the right edge of the sketch with the function Sketch > HCM > Fix... > Parallel . Now the HCM model of the sketch is fully parameterized.
Step 2: Insertion of grating step and definition of Fitting CS
- Insert the grating step with the function Steel Engineering > Plate, new > Grat.
- Grating step ( DIN 24537), 30-30-P
- Select sketch
- Bearing bar orientation: Lower edge (1).
- Fitting point: Lower left corner (2) of grating step preview.
- Define the absolute zero point A 0 0 0 as the fitting point in the model drawing.
- Define the Fitting CS with the function Drawing > Others > World CS > Define Fitting CS
- New origin: Lower left corner (3) of base surface of grating
- Point on X-axis: Lower right corner (4) of base surface of grating
- Point on Y-axis: Upper left corner (5) of base surface of grating
Step 3: Save the grating to the "Installation elements" catalogue
The grating can now be saved to the "Installation elements" catalogue with the function Drawing > Save/Reference > Part... .
The grating is now ready for use for element installation. In this example the grating is installed on a platform. The installation surface is the sketch shown below.
In the same way you can use other catalogue elements, e.g. glass elements: For instance, the excluded installation areas of the facade sketch in our Example could easily be filled with such glass elements.
