Question
Do I have to create alignment objects using Curve Library Mode (Path Linked Entity)?
Answer
Yes, modeling becomes easier by applying the rules of CIM.
Using the Feature & Edit functions (such as Sweep) and the Section you want to model, you can create objects that change shape along the alignment.
However, in this case, it is difficult to manage the shape or store information because the object does not have Section and Path information.
Path Linked Entity allows having Constraint information corresponding to the alignment by using Constraint Entity. It contains information such as Section, Material, and Analysis, making it versatile and easy to manage.
The following step-by-step example will help you easily complete the model.
In the following example, you can change the cross-section to the one you want.
