Structural Element

Primary Element

Description:

The structural framework of the plant (for example, buildings, pipe racks, equipment racks) can be modelled on a simple level using the same basic set of primitive shapes available for Equipment (the main difference being that such elements cannot own Nozzles).

The principal feature of the STRUCTURE element is its ability to own SUBSTRUCTURES as well as primitive shapes, Routing Planes and Penalty Volumes. Enabling, say, a rack to be further divided into beams and columns. for further information on the use of this element in designing Steelwork Structures, refer to Elements in Structural Category.
