Bar Elements (3-D SE)

Steel Engineering > New > Standard > Bar elements

Bar elements can be used effectively, for example, for drafts of a steel engineering construction. They aid the sketching of beams and can subsequently be replaced by "proper" beams

Top: Bar elements - Bottom: Bar elements replaced by standard beams and mitre-cut

Notes:

Bar elements are generated as main parts with the article number (designation) BAR. They do not have beam information such as material, beam type etc
Bar elements are represented with the Only axesbeam representation.
Bar elements are not taken into account in identical part identification or itemising, as they are only placeholders for beams.
The Exchange function enables you to replace bar elements by beams.
