Use the Members tool to create members between two joints.

  1. From the Skeleton ribbon, click the Members tool.
    図 1.


  2. Select a starting joint.
  3. Select an ending joint or a symmetry plane.
    Sections are created in between the two.
    図 2. . The primary joint is selected and then the symmetry plane. The preview shows the sections in symmetry, these can be edited as required .


  4. Click on the ガイドバー to define options.
    Number of control points
    The number of sections that are created throughout the symmetric member creation.
    Cut planes
    The default length and width of the cut plane.
    Realize member
    Create 1D mesh and the associated beam sections based on the cut plane sections.
  5. Resize and reposition the planes in the following ways:
    • Click and drag the boxes at the edges of the plane(s) to resize and capture the appropriate structure.
    • Toggle in the マイクロダイアログ to move each plane globally. Use the drop-down menu to control which section(s) display the manipulator.
    • Click in the マイクロダイアログ to align the last member created. Press Ctrl + Z to undo.
  6. If the member is being realized , define the 1D mesh and the associated beam sections.
  7. オプション: Click the Exclude selector on the ガイドバー then pick entities to exclude from the member if required.
    図 3. . The member, 1D mesh, and beam sections are created and applied appropriately
