Summary

Create a Bolt Group by placing the defined Bolt in a plane.

How to Run

This feature places a defined bolt.

[Select Bolt]
Select the type of bolt to place and the defined bolt standard.

After defining the bolt standard using the Bolt (Define) feature, the bolt can be placed using the Bolt (Create) feature.

[Select Face]
Select the face on which to place the bolt.
[Define Location]
Select the reference point for bolt group.
[Embedded Length]
- Input box : The nut is placed in at a distance offset by the entered length. Click the arrow button and then select the plane on which the nut will be placed. The length value will be entered automatically.

Set the arrangement option to On.
[Define Boundary Area]
Sepecify the boundary area for the bolt.
- By Draw : Draw a line to specify the area where the bolt will be placed.
- By Select : Select multiple lines into a closed line to specify the area where the bolt will be placed.
- Consider Inner Hole : Sets the application method when creating a region over another region.

Reference - Consider Inner Hole

[Direction 1]

[Direction]
Set the direction of Direction 1 for the bolt arrangement.
- Angle from Plane x-Axis : Enter the angle to the x-axis of the local coordinate system to set the direction of Direction 1 of the bolt arrangement.
- Direction Vector on Plane : Enter a vector to set the direction of Direction 1 for the bolt arrangement.
- Direction : Determine whether the bolt group is positioned in both direction, or in the positive or negative direction relative to the reference point of the bolt group and Direction 1.
[Arrangement]
- User Defined : Enter the bolt spacing and the number of bolts. The bolts are placed along Direction 1 from the bolt group reference point. (Ex.: ‘Number @ Spacing.’. (Ex. 3@0.2m, 2@0.4m))
- Pattern Spacing : Enter the spacing between the bolts. The bolts are placed along Direction 1 from the bolt group reference point. (Maximum number of bolts that can be put into the interval are inserted.)
- Uniform Divisions : Enter the number of segments created by the bolts. The bolts are placed along Direction 1 from the bolt group reference point. (Ex. 3→(3 segments, 4 bolts))

[Direction 2]

[Direction]
Set the direction of Direction 2 for the bolt arrangement.
- Linear : Orthogonal to Direction 1 : Set the direction of Direction 2 of the bolt arrangement to be perpendicular to Direction 1.
- Linear : Angle from Direction 1 : Set the direction of Direction 2 of the bolt arrangement using the angle from Direction 1.
- Linear : Direction Vector on Plane : Enter a vector to set the direction Direction 2 of the bolt arragement.
- Angular : Place the bolts based on the bolt group reference point and Direction 1 of the bolt arrangement.
- Direction : Determine whether the bolt group is positioned in both direction, or in the positive or negative direction relative to the reference point of the bolt group and Direction 1.

If the direction is set to angular, the bolt is placed in a circular pattern. In this case, the bolt is always placed at the reference point.

[Arrangement]
- User Defined : Enter the bolt spacing and the number of bolts. The bolts are placed along Direction 1 from the bolt group reference point. (Ex.: ‘Number @ Spacing.’. (Ex. 3@0.2m, 2@0.4m))
- Pattern Spacing : Enter the spacing between the bolts. The bolts are placed along Direction 1 from the bolt group reference point. (Maximum number of bolts that can be put into the interval are inserted.)
- Uniform Divisions : Enter the number of segments created by the bolts. The bolts are placed along Direction 1 from the bolt group reference point. (Ex. 3→(3 segments, 4 bolts))
