Use this procedure to specify the part configuration, defining certain behavior of the new part family you just created (Simple Cylinder 2).
- In the part browser, expand Part Configuration.
- To specify the part type, right-click Undefined Part Type, click Edit, and select a part type, such as General Structure.
The predefined part types are dependent on the selected part domain. For example, for a pipe part, the only available part type choice is “Pipe”. For structure shapes, which are more complex than pipe shapes, there are multiple part type choices, such as general, inlet-outlet structures, junctions structures, and so on.
- To specify the part subtype, right-click Undefined Bounded Shape, click Edit, and select Cylinder.
The list of predefined subtypes depends on the selected type. For example for pipes, choices are arched, circular, egg-shaped, elliptical, rectangular, and undefined shape. For structures, you can specify the following subtypes for undefined bounded shapes: box, cylinder, sphere, and undefined.
If desired, you can also enter a new subtype.
- Proceed to To Model a Part in Part Builder.
