The Face Position Selection sheet in the HS_System.xls workbook defines the position on a face of a structure member where the part can locate itself. An example of when to use this sheet would be a U-bolt connected to the bottom of an I-shaped member. You would want the U-bolt to be placed on the out edges of the bottom flange so that the U-bolt did not interfere with the web of the member.

Point Sel Name

Type a unique name for the face position selection option. This name must be unique across the entire catalog.

Description

Type a description for the face position selection option.

Group Key

Type the group key for the face position selection option. This key is used to group face positions selection options together from which you can select one of the face positions. This group key is also entered on the Face Selection sheet in the Group 1-5 columns.

Cardinal Point

Type the member cardinal point from which to base the face position. There are 15 cardinal positions available. The location of cardinal points 10 (center-of- gravity) and 15 (shear center) depend on the section shape. The local z-axis of the member and the center-of-gravity point of the section define cardinal points 11 and 14. The local y- axis of the member and the center-of-gravity point of the section define cardinal points 12 and 13.

Offset

Type the offset rule to use for the face position selection option (X-direction). The offset is measured from the cardinal point that you specified. Offset and OffsetY do not require a defined ProgID. The column can contain a numeric value. 

OffSetY

Type the offset rule to use for the Y-direction (perpendicular to face). Offset and OffsetY do not require a defined ProgID. The column can contain a numeric value.
