Member System
• Member System is a sequential set of
member parts that share a common axis. It
is the design parent of other entities like the
Member Part, frame connections and split
connections
• The Frame connection is a positional

constraint mechanism that helps the user to
position and optionally orient the member
system to the supporting member system

Member System
• At placement of a linear Member System, the user gives the
cross-section definition and the two end points of the axis. For
each end, there is a Frame Connection which defines what
relationships exist between the system axis and other members
that are supporting.

Member System
 Prismatic Part (Member Part)
• Single-solid entities geometrically described as a surface of
projection. The axis of a member part is a portion of the system
axis.
Prismatic Parts will be created by a
projection of a cross section definition
stored in a parametric symbol file.
System uses these symbol file to generate
the member objects based on reference data
stored in the catalog.

Place Framing Members
Fit Mode – Select how you want the software to place the framing
members between the two supporting members.
 By Count – Select this option if you want to
specify the exact number of framing members
to place.
 Equal Spacing – Select this option to have
the software determine the number of framing
members to place based on the length of the
supporting members and the value you specify
in the Maximum Spacing box. The software
places the framing members so that the
spacing is not greater than specified.
 Best Fit – Select this option to have the
software determine the number of framing
members to place based on the length of the
supporting members and the value you specify
in the Maximum Spacing box. The software
places all framing members except for the first
and the last with the spacing specified.
Interior framing members

Place Bracing
• Places cross bracing between members
that you select in the model.
• Chevron bracing and vertical cross
bracing can be placed with this
command.
 At minimum, you must select two columns and one

beam to define the vertical chevron bracing location.
 Optionally, you can select two columns and two beams

to define the vertical chevron bracing location.

Place Bracing
 At minimum, you must select two columns to define

cross bracing location.
 If you select two columns and a beam to define the

cross bracing location, the bracing is placed at the
intersection of the beam and the two columns to the two
column bases.
 If you select two columns and two beams to define the

cross bracing location, the bracing is placed in the
intersection of the four members.

Place Vessel Support

placed
• Supports framing and positioning of
standard members

Place Split
 Divides a member system into multiple parts.
 The resulting member system is a set of
continuous member parts that move as a single
entity.
 Useful for:
 You want to resolve the interference between two
intersecting structural objects, such as a pair of cross
braces.
 You want to split columns in your model at certain
elevations.
 Only members can be split using the command.
 Members can be split by:

Priority Number values are
used to determine which

 Continuous will split the other
member system.
 Intercostal will be split by the
other member system.
 Member systems with a lower
continuity priority will split
member systems with a higher
continuity number when the
both members are intercostal.
