De nombreux composants incluent des plaques d'insertion ; par exemple, une platine d'about , une plaque de connexion, etc. Vous pouvez également insérer une plaque en tant que composant distinct, par exemple comme platine d'about d'un poteau, raidisseur d'une section ouverte ou gousset sur lequel vous connectez une barre à l'aide du composant Plaque de connexion. On peut voir une platine en tête et un gousset dans l'image ci-dessous.
Élément
Dans la première catégorie des « Paramètres du composant », les dimensions de la plaque et son matériau doivent être définis. Vous pouvez choisir parmi les matériaux existants ou en définir un nouveau.
Position
La catégorie suivante contrôle la position de la plaque dans l'assemblage.
Démarrage
Sélectionnez le composant « Origine » auquel les déplacements et les rotations de la platine doivent être liés.
The default setting is Joint, meaning the origin of the whole joint. You can also select a Member, Member Plate, another Plate, an Auxiliary Plane or Auxiliary Solid as the reference component. Based on the coordinate system of that component, you can move and rotate the plate to adjust its arrangement.
Origin alignment
This option is available when a member has been set as the origin. You can select the reference point of the cross-section where the plate is to be attached.
There are two lists with three options each.
Milieu | The center of the plate refers to the centroid of the cross-section. |
Haut | The center of the plate refers to the upper edge (bounding box) of the cross-section located in the negative z-direction. |
Bas | The center of the plate refers to the lower edge (bounding box) of the cross-section located in the positive z-direction. |
Milieu | The center of the plate refers to the centroid of the cross-section. |
Left | The center of the plate refers to the left edge (bounding box) of the cross-section located in the negative y-direction. |
Right | The center of the plate refers to the right edge (bounding box) of the cross-section located in the positive y-direction. |
Object alignment
Here you can select the reference point ("grab point") of the plate used to connect it.
There are three lists with three options each.
Milieu | The plate is set at the center line which refers to its x-axis. The next columns control the specific point. |
Haut | The plate is aligned to its upper edge which is defined by the reference point located in the positive x-direction of the plate. |
Bas | The plate is aligned to its lower edge which is defined by the reference point located in the negative x-direction of the plate. |
Milieu | The plate is set at the center line which refers to its y-axis. The other columns control the specific point. |
Left | The plate is aligned to its left edge which is defined by the reference point located in the negative y-direction of the plate. |
Right | The plate is aligned to its right edge which is defined by the reference point located in the positive y-direction of the plate. |
Milieu | The plate is set at the center line which refers to its z-axis. |
Avant | The plate is aligned to its front side which is defined by the reference point located in the positive z-direction of the plate. |
Arrière | The plate is aligned to its rear side which is defined by the reference point located in the negative z-direction of the plate. |
