You have probably already learned about the importance of distinguishing among events, patterns, and structure. But still, you may be finding it difficult to apply this distinction. Perhaps when you try to analyze an issue from this perspective, the lines between patterns and structure get blurred or you find structure hard to see. You are not alone many learners encounter these difficulties. There are guidelines, however, that can help you to see structure and seeing structure will provide you with leverage for solving your long-term business challenges.

From simple covered parking solar carports to custom solar canopies, Solar Structure Systems, LLC can provide a cost effective design to meet any commercial or industrial solar shade canopy needs.

The Structure Systems feature has great potential to replace weldments in most situations. Even small numbers of members are quick to set up and provide more modelling flexibility. So why should you think about using Structure Systems:

The first step is ensuring you have your profiles setup correctly. Structure Systems has a prerequisite that the profiles need to be configured (the profile sizes are stored as configurations rather than separate part files). Since 2019, the weldment profiles provided with SOLIDWORKS are configured. However, if you are still using the profiles from 2018 and before, they will be non-configured. Make sure you have set yourself up with the correct type of profile before starting. See our blog here on how to create a configured profile.

Primary members can be defined through using planes, sketch segments, points, and intersections. Primary members therefore rely on reference geometry for their path. Unlike Weldments, the members do not need to be parallel or consecutive to each other. They may also be defined using splines and can use different profiles.

Secondary members use primary members to define their positioning to quickly build up supporting weldments. The distance along / length ratio of the primary member is used to define them. Note that initial selections are rough distances and then the values should be defined afterwards. Pre-created planes can also be used for positioning. Finally, these members can even use primary members from other Structure System features, making it easier than ever to build up large structures piece by piece.

Once all members have been defined and you exit the feature, the corner management will be processed. All corners will be automatically defined but can be overridden. The corners are split into type depending on their complexity: simple, two-member, and complex.

First off is the Structure System Grid. This is really an internal feature and is a result of all the hard work done when defining the members. Each member defines a sketch line for its path, these lines are then combined to build up a 3D sketch without ever needing to define 3D relationships. This is parametrically linked so that if members are modified, even the pierce point or any offsets, this sketch will also change.

Underneath this are the created members, separated into unique profile folders. Once outside the Structure System feature environment, each folder/member can be edited individually to modify its parameters through just a couple of clicks. Whereas in weldments, locating the member could be arduous due to large numbers of weldment features and groups, and changing a profile would change all members profiles. This is also where members are deleted by right clicking the top-level profile folder/member and choosing delete.

Once the Structure System has been finished, additional features can be added to the framework. During this process it may become clear that the Structure System needs refining or to be iterated. A few tips to help this process are:

Structure Systems recognises the capability of weldments and builds more freedom and more functionality into it. Weldments will still be helpful for smaller models that consist of the same profiles, but structural systems can provide a faster and more friendly workflow for larger or more complex models. The age of weldments is coming to an end, long live Structure Systems!

The past 60 years have witnessed a significant leap in building technology, materials, and Structure Systems as well as the rapid development of simulation technologies and modeling software. These successive accomplishments have opened the door to a whole new world of possibilities in the fields of architecture and construction. Now, more than any time before, architects can let their imagination run wild and innovate, with little worry about structural restrictions. After all, if there is no available structural solution, a new one can be devised.

If you stack boxes on top of each other, with balance in mind, they will form a standing structure, like in the picture.
