Project: HiCAD Element installation

Example: Create Parts with Connection Parameters

This example shows you how to create parts for Element installations and Sub-structures, and link them with the Element installation > Connection function in the Civil Engineering functions docking window.

Here, an element installation of simple, rectangular asbestos cement panels is to be created and mounted to a sub-structure of T-beams.

This guide consists of several steps with a gradually increasing complexity.

In the first section, variants for the element installation and the sub-structure are created and inserted. If you are already familiar with these topics, you can skip this section.

• Create new variants for element installation and sub-structure
• Step 1: Create variant for element installation
• Step 2: Create variant for sub-structure
• Step 3: Insert and link element installation and sub-structure

• Plan connection
• Step 4: Plan bores in asbestos cement panels
• Step 5: Prepare sub-structures for connections
• Step 6: Update sub-structure, element installation and connection

• Optimize connection
• Step 7: Plan a second bore for the asbestos cement panel
• Step 8: Plan staggered bores
• Step 9: Use foreign coordinate system
• Step 10: Plan bores for sub-structure
• Step 11: Apply variables
