Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Master Exercise Boring Fixture In this exercise you will see how to create a boring fixture using the Structure Design workbench: Creating a grid Placing members Creating plates and end-plates Jointing elements Making modifications 4 min.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Design Intent: Boring Fixture Creation of a cartesian grid as support of members using Grid. Placement of members in context of assembly using: Member, Member on Support and Infill. Creation of plates, gussets and plugs using: Plates and End-Plates. Creation of Joints using: Miter and Weld Cut options in Joint. Operations and transformations.
