A
|
 |
| anchor point |
Corresponds to the point at which a section is
anchored along the support axis |
C
|
|
| cutback |
Trims a shape to a plane |
| cutout |
The removal of a portion of a structural part
to allow an item to pass through the part |
| curved shape |
A structure having initial curvature |
E
|
|
| endcut |
A shape feature, typically defined to
configure the mating ends of the shape for proper connection with another
shape. Endcuts are parametric objects stored in a catalog. Two types of
endcut are available:
- Standard: no contextual inputs; does not depend on any external
object (other plates, shapes, planes, etc.) to be properly placed
- Contextual: multiple inputs; depends on external objects (other
plates, shapes, planes, etc.) to be properly placed

F
|
|
| feature |
A design characteristic of a structural part.
Typical examples of part features are cutouts, slots and endcuts |
N
|
|
| non-planar plate |
A curved structure, typically cylindrical or
curved walls, sheer and camber decks, and corrugated walls |
O
|
|
| orientation |
Defines how the section is oriented around its
anchor point |
P
|
|
| plate |
A part cut from flat raw material stock, which
may later be rolled or bent to a non-planar shape |
| planar plate |
A flat structure, typically bulkheads, decks
and floor plates |

S
|
|
| section |
Describes the shape representation of a
stiffening part |
| shape |
A linear, curved or twisted structure most
frequently used to stiffen |
| slot |
An opening to allow passage of structural
parts (shapes or plates) |
| small assembly |
A combination of structural parts used to
connect together other structural parts (shapes or plates) in order to
locally spread or transmit the load. Typically includes brackets, doublers,
diamond plates, transitions |
| support |
Geometrical objects on which plates and shapes
are built |
