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
