At different stages of your design, you may
need to create different Solid Functional Sets.
In this task, you will learn how to insert a new Solid Functional Set.
Open a Part.
Select Insert > Solid Functional Set.
A Solid Functional Set is created and displayed in the Specification
Tree. Depending on the current in work object, it can be located in an
existing or new body.
If the current in work object is a non-hybrid empty body,
the Solid Functional Set is created
within the body.
In any other cases, a non-hybrid body is created and the
Solid Functional Set is located inside
this new body.
Expand the Body
node.
This node contains a Solid Functional Set. This Solid Functional Set is
set as the current object, meaning that it determines the location of
the features you are going to create.
A body can contain one Solid Functional Set only.
More About Solid Functional Sets
Creating a first functional feature automatically creates a
Solid Functional Set. Consequently, it is not necessary to use
Insert > Solid Functional Set as described above
prior to creating your first functional feature.
You can create as many solid functional sets as required to
produce a Part.
A Solid Functional Set cannot contain any Ordered
Geometrical Sets (OGSs).
Non-Hybrid Design
Before you create a feature, make sure that you are in
non-hybrid mode.
To set the non-hybrid mode, select Tools >
Options > Infrastructure > Part Infrastructure > Part Document
tab, and clear Enable hybrid design.
For details about Hybrid Design, see the Part Design
User's Guide. For details about the enable/disable hybrid
design setting, see Customizing Part Document.
