Part Properties
This symbol is used to represent the second end part of struts and snubbers. The Strut_B shapes are divided into the following.
-
One graphic shape: Round, Oval, Square, Rectangular, Hexagonal shapes are possible
-
One rod end shape: Plain, Eye, One Spade, Two Spades, Bolt, Nut (Female) end shapes are possible
Because Strut_B is defined as the second end part, this separate part allows for a rotating joint between this end and the strut/snubber body (Strut_A). Strut_B has a fixed length. All variable length adjustment of struts and snubbers is handled with Strut_A.
The following figure shows how the strut part is divided into shape and end.
