Dynamo Barrel Vault Brace 03

Welcome back, today’s post will complete the Barrel Vault Brace family.  If you’re just finding this post today, look at the previous posts to start at the beginning. If you’ve been following along and doing your homework, you should be ready to begin. The best way to learn is to do the work yourself, but if you ran into problems or just haven’t had the time, you can download the catchup file here.

Now that we’ve created the top and bottom chords, its time to add the diagonal bracing members. You did flex the family right? It’s important at each step, to be sure the pipe radius behaves and moves with the adaptive points. If you haven’t flexed it, please do. Did your pipes remain consistent from end to end? If you got a bulge anywhere in the pipe, you must not have constrained the profile shape to the ends. If your family is good, then its time to work on the diagonal bracing. Let’s make it easy on ourselves, select the two diagonal reference lines and isolate them temporarily.

IsolateLet’s get started!

  • Click the component tool and use the type selector to set the family and type to Circle_Profile_AC:BraceRadius
  • Hover over the adaptive point at the bottom left of the brace, tab until the end point option is selected and the working plane is perpendicular to diagonal reference line.

diagonalEnd

  • Place the BraceRadius and while still selected, Add a family type parameter labeled BraceRadius and associate it to the BraceRadius radius parameter.

DiagonalParameter

Repeat this process at the other end of the diagonal reference line.

  • Change the value of the BraceRadius parameter in each type and flex it. Do the profile family circles get larger? Good.

  • Create the form element by selecting the reference line and the two profile family insertions. Click Create form.
  • Now flex the resulting geometry. Does the brace form element behave? Good, add the remaining diagonal elements by repeating steps 3 ,4, & 5. Flex the family. Do both diagonal elements flex properly?
  • Click your temporary visibility tool (sunglasses) and Reset temporary hide/isolate visibility. Select each of your adaptive points and move them using the ucs gizmo. Do the form elements follow and flex properly?

FlexDiag2

  • Add a material property and assign it to diagonal brace form element.
  • Repeat this process for the other diagonal vector.
  • Flex your family again and ensure it behaves. Did you add different materials to your test types?
