Covers are displayed in a hierarchy. This image shows the hierarchy for a metric cover:

Hierarchy of catalog folders for covers CATA is parent, STSE is its child. STCA folders are children of STSE

To view a cover profile, select it or its parent STCA or CATA in the Catalogue Explorer. Then click Catalog in the Modify group on the Catalogue tab.

The buttons of the Modify group. Category, Part Family, Rule Set, Text, and BPanel.

Covers, like belts, are modeled in Design as GENSECs. Therefore they must be created as SPRF profile elements.

In the following examples, a semicircular cover is shown. However, you can modify the shape of a cover.

DTSE - Data Set

Click Data Set in the Model References pane. The Data References pane is displayed.

Model View with Data Set selected and Data References pane displayed.

These KEY words are used in the application:

THIC - Thickness of the cover.
HEIG - Height above the belt.
This is the distance between the top of the belt and the underside of the annulus.

Important: Do not change the key words.

PTSS - PLIN Set

Click Pline Set in the Model References pane. The P-Line Definitions pane is displayed.

Model View with Pline Set selected and P-Line Definitions pane displayed.

There must be a PLIN with its PKEY set to NA.

GMSS - Geometry Set

Click Geometry in the Model References pane.

The geometry in this example has one annulus to describe the cover. In Design, the cover runs along the same path as the belt but the height (DESP2) defines the cover's distance above the belt.
