Solid Functional Set
Solid Functional Sets contain functional features. You can
insert multiple and nested Functional Sets to organize the functional
specifications. The Solid Functional Set is also the resulting shape of
the functional specifications it contains.
A Solid Functional Set is always inserted in a non-hybrid body. It is
located at the fist position of the body. It is unique within the body.

a Solid Functional Set.
Functional Set
Functional Set is used to organize the Functional
Features, wireframe, sketches and surface features inside the Solid
Functional Set.
A Functional Set is created under the Solid Functional Set or within
another Functional Set.

Inserting
a Functional Set.
Shell Properties
Each solid functional set may contain a single shell
property feature that specifies the thickness of the walls globally for
the solid functional set. This thickness is then used by functional
features that produce walls. It provides an easy and centralized way for
modifying thickness once for all during the design process.
By default, the thickness of the shell property is zero. This means that
the features are not shelled as long as the value is not modified.
The Shell Properties is also used to define the open faces of the
resulting shape.
For more information, see
Setting Shell Properties.
Draft Properties
Each solid functional set may contain several draft
property features.
A Draft Property feature defines a certain number of mold process
properties such as pulling direction, draft angle value and parting
element. These properties can then be used by functional features to
modify their shapes. The Draft Property feature provides an easy and
centralized way for modifying mold properties once for all during the
design process.
You can define as many draft properties as you need to manage the
different areas of the 3D shape. As an example, you can assign a draft
property feature to functional features that define the shape of a
slider.
