Non-Routed Item


Creates a Panel Fitting (PFIT) element which can be used to represent any item which is attached to a Panel. These can be used to indicate such things as the presence of the penetrating item or an ancillary item such as an inspection cover, doorway or manhole. A PFIT is positioned relative to the origin of its owning panel.
As with a bolted joint, panel fittings can incorporate (or consist entirely of) negative volumes which represent holes in their owning panels.
A panel fitting is positioned relative to its owning panel’s origin by setting the position properties and is orientated about an axis perpendicular to the panel by setting the beta angle properties. It can be justified to align its origin plane with the top face, centre plane, or bottom face of the panel by setting the justification property. As an example, a stylised manhole might be defined.

A PFIT is a catalogue item which can be used to represent any type of geometric entity which is to be owned by, and positioned relative to, a panel. Typically, the catalogue might include panel fittings which represent, for example, doors, windows, access manholes and lifting lugs.
You are prompted to Select panel

Creates a Structural Weld Set (STWSET) element which owns one or more Structural Weld (STWELD) elements which are used to represent welds between panel edges or between panel edges and section edges. STWELD elements contain the weld information. For example, the connection reference and the weld geometry.
STWELD elements are owned by Panel (PANE elements).

The example displays a weld between panel edges.

The example displays a weld between a panel edge and a section edge.

Weld Settings
Before welds can be modelled, various settings must be defined to determine, for example, the weld creation tolerance and the weld properties for the creation of welds.
Default Weld Specification
Sets the default specification for the creation of panel welds.

Automatic Weld Creation
Sets the default weld creation status when a new connection is made between panel edges or between panel edges and section edges.
If the selection is highlighted, automatic weld creation is on.
If the selection is not highlighted, automatic weld creation is off.
Automatic welds can be created when using the following processes:
Create Welds from Selection
Creates multiple welds using a selection of sections and panels. For example, a deck of (non-bounded) panels with support beams underneath

Welds are created for:
You are prompted to Select panels and sections
Drag a rectangular fence around the items to be selected. Alternatively, click to select the initial item then press Shift and click to select additional items.

Press Enter to create the welds.
Welds are created between the selected panels and the adjacent panels and sections. The created welds display in the 3D view.

Welds are created between the underside of the panel and the intersecting edges of the supporting beams (the example is viewed from underneath the deck).

Welds can be created for overlapping plates.

In the example, the red coloured welds are owned by the blue panel (currently selected), while the blue coloured welds are owned by the other panels.

The connection status of panel welds can be inspected and modified using the Connection Review window. Refer to Review Connections for further information.
The direction of the weld displays in the 3D view when a weld is selected on the Connection Review window. Alternatively, the direction of the currently selected weld in the 3D view can be indicated by an arrow using the command window.
The STWDIR attribute, owned by a Structural Weld element (STWELD), can be queried for deck plates. The example syntax queries the weld direction of pin 1 of the STWELD:
By default, all welds owned by a deck plate point downwards with respect to the owner.

The PPOS and PDIR psuedo attributes, defined in the RPATH element and owned by a STWELD element, can be queried for straight welds. The example syntax queries the weld directions of pin 1 and pin 2 of the STWELD:
Buy default, the start direction points into the weld and the end direction points away from the weld.

Update Welds from Selection
Checks the status of welds between panel edges or between panel edges and section edges. If applicable, you can update or repair welds as well as remove connectivity.
You are prompted to Select panels
Drag a rectangular fence around the items to be selected. Alternatively, click to select the initial item then press Shift and click to select additional items.

Press Enter to update the welds.
Welds are evaluated, updated and deleted automatically.
There are various modification scenarios which result in weld update or deletion.
Removed Panel Supporting Sections
Panel supporting sections are deleted, the welds that reference the deleted sections remain.

With the panel selected, click Update to remove the welds, all other welds are updated to fill the void.

Modified Profile Specification of Attached Sections
The profile specification of panel supporting sections are modified using the Properties window, the welds that reference the modified sections must be updated to reflect the modifications.

With the panel selected, click Update to update the welds to reflect the panel supporting section modifications.

Panel Moved away from Elements connected by Welds
A panel containing welds is moved away from supporting sections, the welds that reference the supporting sections remain.

With the panel selected, click Update to remove the welds as the distance between the panel and the supporting sections is too large to create valid welds.

Panel Edge Extension along Weld Direction
The panel edge is extended along the direction of the weld, the weld is not extended.

With the panel selected, click Update to extend the weld.

Modifies the default tolerances for walls.
When a joint which has one or more attached sections is repositioned, the effect on those sections depends upon whether or not the joint has been defined as dominant or subordinate, as defined by the setting of the joint’s Joint Freedom (JFRE) attribute.
The standard default is for joints to be subordinate.

Below the zone in all applications under structures, have three administrative elements in common (these database elements are only available in the four applications) in this case the Walls and Floors application.
However unique to the Walls and Floors application these administrative elements can be used as a means of organizing elements in the 3D model which represent the areas of the building. Refer to Building Levels for further information.

Building Levels
Building Levels

The administrative SBFR level in particular is used to emphasise building elements, such as wall and floors. The elements are called soft type elements which are used at the SBFR level in the hierarchy to represent walls, floors and fittings. Soft type elements have the same attributes as standard elements (GENSEC) but are named differently to identify them.

Creates a Straight Wall element (STWALL) which is a soft type element used as part of the building representation rather than for structural design.
The straight wall element is a type of a Generic Section (GENSEC), used to represent a wall created by extruding a 2D catalogue profile with a start and finish position.

The Positioning Control window also displays, the positioning functionality available for selection is common throughout all design disciplines. Refer to Positioning Control for further information.
You are prompted to Define Straight wall start (Distance [0]) Snap:
From the Straight Wall window there are three options available:
Click Define Start/End Explicitly to position the start of the wall explicitly by inputting explicit X, Y and Z co-ordinates. Refer to Define Vertex Explicitly for further information.
Click Define end a given distance and direction from start to position the end of the wall by specifying a distance and direction from the start of the wall. Refer to Define Vertex Offset from Previous for further information
