Structural Elements

Calling the window:

This window is intended for displaying the existing structural elements.

Structural elements are elements of the T-FLEX CAD data model that allow describing the applied information data model and relationships between model objects, regardless of their geometric and parametric relationships. They form a "parallel" applied structure of the model with their own parameters and relationships. Each element has a type (class), the description of which stores the composition of parameters, links, as well as methods that allow you to implement any application functions of such objects. To describe the data stored in structural elements, as well as the relationships between structural elements and other objects of the model, a special tool is available in the system - the Editor of Structural Element Types.

Here you can form a tree of types of structural elements and describe their composition. Using the mechanism of structural elements, you can solve the following tasks:

•modeling communications of various types;

•modeling of metal structures;

•modeling of electrical products;

•description of the structure of design and technological elements for subsequent use in the process of technological preparation of production;

•addition of the geometric model with user data for transfer to third-party application systems.

To work with structural elements, a special program interface is provided as part of the Open API T-FLEX CAD. It allows you to develop applications that use structural elements as carriers of application information. Structural elements can be created not only using applications, but also manually - using the appropriate commands.

Structural elements available in the model are displayed as part of the model tree. They are grouped by type and show relationships with other objects in the model in a tree view.
