Important:
It‘s not allowed to rename or delete
Bodies and Geometrical Sets with a # in
the name.
Parameters
27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 3
Startmodel
• The pre-defined parameters can be used as template –
„#Standard_Thickness“ can be copied for all length parameters,
„#DraftAngle“ for all angles.
• The pre-defined parameters can also be used and modified!
Copy/Paste

Startmodel
From here the geometry can be used with [Copy Paste as result with
Link] (CPL) in the following design.
Copy Paste as result with link
All geometries from other parts must be
pasted into the body #External_Geometry.

#Steering contains general
steering features for the
design.
#Steering is divided into:
1. #Origin: contains part origin and basic axis system
2. #Toolspecific_References: contains tool specific
references such as parting surfaces, draft directions,
etc. (Sub-structuring with geometrical sets is
permitted.)
3. #Multiple_Used_Geometry: contains geometry that‘s
used multiply in the design. These geometries can be
copied and pasted with link in the respective body in
the #FinalPart .
Final Part
27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 6
Startmodel
The #FinalPart contains the complete resulting geometry for the part.
You should use sub-structures with bodies (Boolean Operations) and geometrical
sets to have a clear structure
Final Part
27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 7
Startmodel
Sub-structures should fulfill these demands:
• Documentation in an individual "Body" or
"Geometrical Set"
• can be positioned with positioning points
• design with sketches (Positioned Sketch)
• geometrically independent from the rest of the
design
• sketches are set into Hide
• sensible naming (surface results are named
like their Geometrical Set)
References To Other Parts
27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 8
Startmodel
Exchange geometry (e.g. for tooling) can be put into #Export_Folder by using
extract or CPL.
Template
27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 9
Startmodel
The Template is a pre-defined body that contains standard
features like point, axis system and main sketches. It is used
as master copy for surface and solid design.
The sketches refer to the respective planes and the origin of the axis system. Thus
the complete structure can be positioned by editing the reference point of the
respective geometrical set.
Graphic Properties of Wireframe Geometry
27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 10
Modifications in Methodology
Colours, thickness and linestyle can be chosen as you like for all wireframe
geometry.
Hide/Show
27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 11
Modifications in Methodology
All the wireframe geometry has to be in
Hide. This includes:
• Points
• Planes
• Axissystems
• Curves/Lines
• Sketches
Startpart for Shetmetal Design
27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 12
Startpart SMD
Use the same Startmodel for PartDesign and Sheetmetal. Due to the sheetmetal
parameter, the Startmodel is defined as a Sheetmetal part for the Q-Checker.

Don‘t use Boolean Operations for structuring your Sheetmetal Parts!
Else the „unfolded View“ doesn‘t work. Please work directly inside the #FinalPart.
Only one Boolean Add is allowed in special cases, e.g for Recognize
