Double Frame Cap
Used to parametrically create
stiffened cap plates, commonly used in electrical substations. Double frame
caps can be placed on Symmetric A Frames or Trestles.
Cap Plate tab
Used to define the cap plate geometry.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Rectangle | When on, the cap plate corners are not chamfered. |
Thickness | Sets the thickness of the plate. |
Outer Length / Width | Sets the outside dimensions of the plate. Denoted with 1 and 2 in the diagram. |
Inner Length / Width | Sets the dimensions between the chamfers of the plate. Denoted with 3 and 4 in the diagram. |
Corner Plate tab
Used to specify the inclusion of corner stiffener plates and their geometry. Illustrated with yellow color in the diagram.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Center Plate | When on, the center stiffener plates are included with the frame cap. |
Thickness | Sets the thickness of the plate. |
Indentation Length | Sets an offset distance from the top cap plate edge to the center stiffener plate(s). Denoted with 1 in the diagram. |
Height | Sets the overall height of the plate. Denoted with 2 in the diagram. |
Bottom Width | Sets the width of the plate at the bottom. Denoted with 3 in the diagram. |
Side Height | Sets the height of the plate where it is attached to the frame. Denoted with 4 in the diagram. |
Center Plate tab
Used to specify the inclusion of center stiffener plates and their geometry. Illustrated with yellow color in the diagram.

Side Height | Sets the height of the plate where it is attached to the frame. Denoted with 4 in the diagram. |
Cut Plate tab
Used to specify the inclusion of cut stiffener plates and their geometry.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Cut Plate | When on, the cut plate is included with the frame cap. |
Thickness | Sets the thickness of the plate. |
Width | Sets the width of the plate at the top where it is attached to the cap plate. Denoted with 1 in the diagram. |
Height | Sets the overall height of the plate. Denoted with 2 in the diagram. |
Bottom Width | Sets the width of the plate at the bottom. Denoted with 3 in the diagram. |
Side Height | Sets the height of the plate on both sides. Denoted with 4 in the diagram. |
Group tab
Used to create a new OpenBridge Modeler group with the double frame cap objects.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Create Group | When on, you can select additional shapes. Separate double frame caps are created. |
Assignment tab
Used to assign elements in the connection to a material, display class, area class, part family, level, etc.
