Defining a Generic Section
Keywords:
GENSEC SPINE POINSP CURVE
Description:
Each GENSEC, representing a linear or curved beam or wall, must own a Spine defining its shape. The Spine must own at least two Spine Points, defining its start and end positions. It can also own intermediate Spine Points and Curves to give a non-linear configuration.
Example:
NEW GENSEC
Creates GENSEC with no defined geometry.
SPREF /203X203X55KG.UB
Sets SpecRef of GENSEC to point to catalogue profile. GENSEC now has defined cross-section, but no geometry defining its path.
NEW SPINE
Creates Spine with no defined path.
NEW POINSP
First Spine Point defines Start Position (POSS).
NEW POINSP
Last Spine Point defines End Position (POSE). Spine at this stage is a straight line.
NEW CURVE
(Created
between
POINSPs)
The attributes of this curve determine the shape of the Spine path between the adjacent POINSPs. (Refer to
