Split/Couple

Construction > Split/Couple

Plate Couple Margin

Define the maximum distance that is allowed between two plates for them to be coupled. The plates cannot be coupled if the distance between the plates is bigger that the value set here. Any value larger than zero is allowed.

Shellframe Couple Margin

Define the maximum distance that is allowed between two shell frames for them to be coupled. The shell frames cannot be coupled if the distance between them is bigger that the value set here. Any value larger than zero is allowed.

Splitted Plate Minimum Size

Define the minimum size for a split part of plate.

If a split part of a plate would get a size smaller than the value defined here, the splitting is not done.

Splitted Plate Rel. Distance

For cases when an orthogonal plate intersects the plate to be split. Set the maximum allowed distance between the plates for splitting to be done along the intersection line.

If the distance between the plate to be split and the intersecting plate is smaller than the value set here, and more than the length set for the Split Plate Rel. Percentage setting, the system attempts to split the plate along the intersection line.

Note: The value must be smaller than the value of the Splitted Plate Rel. Percentage setting.

Splitted Plate Rel. Percentage

For cases when an orthogonal plate intersects the plate to be split. Set the minimum length of the intersection between the plates for splitting to be done along the intersection line. The value is defined as the percentage of the minimum required overlap between the two plates, i.e. how many percent the intersection line must be of the length of plate to be split.

If the intersecting line is more than the percentage set here, the system attempts to split the plate along the intersection line.

A value of more than 100 mean that a plate cannot be split with an intersecting plate.

Note: Values less than 50 are unlikely to achieve the expected result, and it is therefore recommended to use values between 50 and 100.

Splitted Shellfr. Min. Length

Define the minimum length of a split part of shell frame. If a split part of a shell frame would get a length smaller than the value defined here, the splitting is not done.

Splitted Profile Min. Length

Define the minimum length of a split part of profile after. If a split part of a profile would get a length smaller than the value defined here, the splitting is not done.

Endshape 1+2, Split Shell Frame

Define which end type (number) is used for endshapes 1 and 2 of the new shell frame ends when a shell frame is split.

Endshape 3+4, Split Shell Frame

Define which end type (number) is used for endshapes 3 and 4 of the new shell frame ends when a shell frame is split.

Endshape 1+2, Split Profile

Define which end type (number) is used for endshapes 1 and 2 of the new profile ends when a profile is split.

The default value -1 means that end type 0 is used. You should change this value if you do not want to use type 0, or type 0 is not available for users.

Endshape 3+4, Split Profile

Define which end type (number) is used for endshapes 3 and 4 of the new profile ends when a profile is split.

The default value -1 means that end type 0 is used. You should change this value if you do not want to use type 0, or type 0 is not available for users.

Endshape 1+2, Split Face Plate

Define which end type (number) is used for endshapes 1 and 2 of the new face plate ends when a face plate is split.

The default value -1 means that end type 0 is used. You should change this value if you do not want to use type 0, or type 0 is not available for users.

Endshape 3+4, Split Face Plate

Define which end type (number) is used for endshapes 3 and 4 of the new face plate ends when a face plate is split.

The default value -1 means that end type 0 is used. You should change this value if you do not want to use type 0, or type 0 is not available for users.
