Dimensioning Structure
OpenBridge Modeler dimensioning is divided into several main groups for single parts, component part groups, model-views, etc. which can be set independently of each other. Within each main group, there are still other subordinate groups the parameters of which are also independent of each other.
Trans-sectoral settings facilitate the common use and reduce the number of necessary parameters – e. g. dimensioning of the main parts of component part groups are controlled via single parts setting.
However, this structuring is only the major selection of parameters. Each subordinate group itself again consists of an inner structure with independent default settings for the different detailing processes (of single parts) or for the different component parts (of component part groups or model-views). Each single component part or detailing type permits individual default settings for different dimensioning directions and component part views. However, a considerable repetition degree is reached here.
Inner Structure
Here, you see the inner structure of a subordinate group as it exists for dimensioning of add-on pieces in component part groups. This is the structure with the most variants as the dimensioning of a component part group has to take into consideration a lot of different conditions.
In the following, we will therefore describe the essential matters with the help of the settings for dimensioning of a component part group.
As you can see it is possible to preset a different dimensioning point for shapes in bent component part groups (radial) compared with the standard component part groups (linear). For stiffeners things may again be different.
