Plates Settings : Hierarchy

All database elements are owned by other elements, therefore elements must be created in a strict order.

The following database elements are common to all Design disciplines:

•

•

•

Administrative Hierarchy

Below the zone in all applications under structures, have three administrative elements in common (these database elements are only available in the four applications under structures) in this case PLATES. Refer to Administrative Hierarchy for more information.

PLATES Specific Hierarchy

Below the FRMW/SBFR level in PLATES, the specific elements are:

Each element in the plates hierarchy has specific attributes that combine to define the panel geometry:


PANE	The POSITION attribute is the position of the panel origin with respect to the WORLD. The ORIENTATION attribute is the orientation of the panel with respect to the cardinal axes. The Y (North) direction of the panel is defined as the direction from the first panel vertex to the second panel vertex.
PLOO	The HEIGHT attribute is the thickness of the panel. The Sjustification attribute is the justification of the panel (top, centre or bottom).
PAVE	The POSITION attribute is the vertex position with respect to the panel origin.
