The shape properties specify the segments shapes properties for Strut_A. Specify None for the ShapeNtype property, if the shape ā€˜Nā€™ is not needed. For example, if Shape 4 does not need to be modeled, you would enter None for the Shape4Type properties. The shapes can be defined by:

For Struts:

You would specify None for Shape6Type because no side shapes is needed for struts.

For Snubbers or the Struts which have additional side shape:

The length of the shapes can be set to negative, zero, and positive values. For example:

For the figure above, the strut would be modeled by entering Shape4Length to be a negative value as shown below. Set the Shape5type value to be None because there is no Shape 5 type.

There are similar properties for Shape1, Shape2, Shape3, Shape4, Shape5, and Shape6. Shape1 properties descriptions are shown below. All other shapes needs to follow the same methods for corresponding shapes properties.

In general, the shape properties are defined as:

Enter ShapeNWidth1 is in X direction
Enter ShapeNWidth2 is in Y direction (into the page)
Enter ShapeNLength is in Z direction (along length of strut/snubber)

Where N is the Shape Number of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6

IJUAhsShape1::Shape1Type

Specifies the graphic shape. The center hole shown in the figures below is only for reference and will not be modeled. The value for this column is a codelist number from the HS_S3DParts_Codelist.xls workbook on the hsShapeType sheet.

1 - Round

2 - Square

3 - Hex

IJUAhsShape1::Shape1Width1

Specifies the outside dimension of the shape.

1 - Round

2 - Square

3 - Hex

IJUAhsShape1::Shape1Width2

Specifies the outside length of the shape. If this value is set to zero or a negative value, then Shape1Width1 is used. This value is not used for the hex shape.

1 - Round

2 - Square

IJUAhsShape1::Shape1Length

Specifies the length for the shape. If this value is zero, then the shape is not displayed. Both positive and negative values are valid.
