These properties specify the other strut properties like bill-of-materials (BOM) and weight. Enter these properties which will be used for only BOM description and for weight but not for the modeling geometry.

IJUAhsMinLen::MinLen

Specifies the minimum length that is allowed for this strut. If the strut is shorter than this length, a warning message appears. If you do not want a warning message, enter zero for the minimum length.

IJUAhsMaxLen::MaxLen

Specifies the maximum length that is allowed for this strut. If the strut is longer than this length, a warning message appears. If you do not want a warning message, enter a large value such as 9999m for the maximum length.

These minimum and maximum length values will be different from the manufacturer's catalogs since this length does not include the separate Strut_B part length.

IJUAhsRepOverLen1::RepOverLen1

Specifies the additional length that needs to be added or subtracted from the modeled length of the strut when reporting the length in the bill-of-materials (BOM) description. This value does not affect the strut graphics in any way. This value should be the length of the separate Strut_B part when it is connected.

  • If this value is zero, then the actual Port1 to Port2 length is used in the BOM description.

  • If this value is a positive number, then this value is added to the Port1 to Port2 length and the resulting sum is used in the BOM description.

  • If this value is a negative number, then this value is subtracted from the Port1 to Port2 length and the resulting value is used in the BOM description.

  • If the resulting value is less than or equal to zero, then the strut length is not included in the BOM description.

IJUAhsWtPerLen::WtPerLen

Specifies the value to use for calculating the total strut weight based on the final strut length. The total weight is calculated by adding the variable weight and the fixed weight.

  • If StretchSegment is set to zero, then the actual graphical length between Port1 and Port2 is used for the length and the RepOverLen1 property is ignored. The weight for the fixed length is added in the Weight property as a fixed value.

  • If StretchSegment is anything other than zero, then the calculated length/thickness of the segment (that is variable in length) is used for the weight.

IJUAhsWeight::Weight

Specifies the weight for the fixed portion of the strut that is not dependent on length.

  • Total weight is calculated by adding “fixed” weight and the variable weight (the previous property). For example, a snubber with a cylinder, reservoir, a variable length of tubing, and two end connections has a fixed weight for the cylinder, reservoir and end connections, plus a variable weight for the variable length of tubing.

  • Often the weight of the entire Strut/Snubber is included in Strut_A, with the Strut_B weight set to zero. If several different Strut_B options can be used with a single Strut_A, then it’s best to separate the weights.
