This task explains how to create a system. | ||
When you create a structure system, a CATPart document is created. This
CATPart is unique to structure functional applications. It is recommended
that you create a system for each major component of your vessel. For
instance, to create a deck you would first create a system, and then create
the deck within this system. Follow this procedure for each deck, bulkhead
and other major component. See Organizing Your
Document to learn how to organize systems. When you create a system, plane systems are also created, using a sample XML file provided with this application. The plane systems are defined by the ProjectReferencePlanes resource. To change the values for the ProjectReferencePlanes resource in the PRM file, do the following:

1. | Open the
Structure Functional System Design (SFD) workbench and click the
Structure
System button .
The Structure System
dialog box displays.
Enter a name for the system. You can also check the Automatic check box. In this case the application will assign a name to the system. |

2. |
Click OK to create the system. In the image below, the system entry in the specifications
tree has been expanded to show its contents.
You can add the hull in the Structure Functional Object Design workbench. Right-click on Project data in the specifications tree and, in the drop down menus that display, select Project Data Object - Add a Hull. The sample hull is added. You need to Show it if you want to see it in the viewer.
The hull is defined by
project
resource management (PRM) resources StructureHullModel and
StructureHullFeatureName.
NOTE: After you have created the system, the link between your PRM designated hull, and the hull you are using in your document, no longer exists. Changes you make in one will not be reflected in the other. You can use the Synchronize command to propagate the changes. To do so you must be in the Structure Functional Object Design workbench: right click Project Data, select Project Data Object in the drop down menu and select Synchronize the Hull or Synchronize the planes. |
