The Structural Manufacturing task creates manufacturing data from the model. This data is used to create and construct the physical parts of the model. This is accomplished by adding manufacturing-specific information to the detailed parts. After that, the manufacturing parts and supporting parts are generated by rules.

The manufacturing-specific information includes:

  • Fabrication Margins

  • Assembly Margins

  • Shrinkage

  • Manual marking lines (The majority of marking lines are generated automatically by rules.)

  • Manufacturing Tabs

The manufacturing supporting parts include:

  • Templates

  • Pin jigs

Manufacturing data is also controlled by applying rule-based processes and rule-based automated marking on manufacturing parts, such as:

  • Tabs and bridges

  • Plate bevels

  • Unfolding algorithms for curved plates

  • Roll lines

  • Location marks for attached structure

  • Reference plane marks

Manufacturing data is output in several ways:

  • XML, which can be read by external software such as nesting software.

  • Profile sketches for profile parts, created in Drawings and Reports. See the Drawings and Reports Help.

  • Template set drawings and reports, created in Drawings and Reports. See the Drawings and Reports Help.

  • Pin jig drawings and reports, created in Drawings and Reports. See the Drawings and Reports Help.
