The best way to do this is to delete PS-9005 at stru level.

At stru level on PS-9004 type in NEW STRU COPY PREVIOUS and enter.
Then rename the new stru as PS-9005 including FRMW,SBFR,PNOD,ALL SCTNS,SUBS,BOX & PVOL.
same format at any other support but with it's own unique number ( PS-9005 ).
Then reposition to suit using by commands or co-ord's

to cut hole in beam

Typical Syntax is:
NEW FITT ZDIST 1000
NEW TMPL
NEW NBOX or NEW NCYL
XLEN 100 YLEN 100 ZLEN 100

Anywhere on your pc. If you put it in c:\temp then type $m/c:\temp\inc.mac

create an output file, edit it and run it back in. You can use Utilities>Db listing or type
File /c:\temp\supps.txt
OUTPUT CE (when you are at zone A)
TERM

Edit the file in Notepad wordpad etc. Will need to rename all named elements.

Navigate to zone B

to copy a site or zone or structure to another area

you need to create a text output file
to do this hilight the zone or struct you wish to copy then choose Utilities -DB Listings from top menu
change filename to say c:\les1.txt and choose ADD CE
then ok
edit the file in notepad to modify any possible new duplicate names
and top of file change the line to ONERROR CONTINUE
then in PDMS move to heirachy where u want new structure etc… and on command line type

OR if that doesn’t work

save the file into your PDMS output directory
(to check what the directory is type Q EVAR PDMSUSER
then at command line type $m/%PDMSUSER%/111.txt where 111.txt is the new filenam

to add everything within 2000mm of the current element add all within vol ce 2000

to move item from one zone to another

hilight item to be moved and type var1nam
move to required location in heirachy and type include $v1

to search for kit with the name Axes Q ALL WI MATCHWILD(NAME

 or search for stru name containing the name Axes Q ALL STRU WI MATCHWILD

to add an element with transparrency and other colour ADD CE COL 2 TRANSL 25
this command adds current element red transparrency 25%

to add sites with name SITE 11……. $m/%pdmsuser%/addsites.tx

the addsites.txt file must reside in your pdms default directory
file consists of following text
var !sites collect all site wi substring(name,1,3) eq '/11' see also word docs…
var !sname eval name for all from !sites
do !i to !sname.size()
add $!sname[$!i]
enddo
$.

9/10 to remove a list of sites you don’t need $m/%pdmsuser%/strip.txt

create a txt file called STRIP.TXT in your pdms default dir
file consists of following
rem all site wi match(name, 'AXES') neq 0
rem all site wi match(name, 'AXIS') neq 0
rem all site wi match(name, 'TEST') neq 0
rem all site wi match(name, 'GRIDLINES') neq 0

then hilight the newly created PFIT in the Design

Explorer window and type Q ATT

Change th
first number is radius
change others numbers to see mods to hole
100 = hole dia
8 = thickness
if thickness is 0 then it makes a clean hole

makes a 100mm dia hole

makes a 106mm dia hole

 then pick members to move (make sure your CE is the destination subframe)

Q ALL STRU WI MATCHWILD(NAME,'*AXES*')

ADD CE COL 2 TRANSL 25

$m/%pdmsuser%/addsites.txt

see also word docs…

$m/%pdmsuser%/strip.txt

basically the match command looks at the name of the site for the
occurance of the string 'AXES' if it doesn't find this string it returns a value
of Zero if it does then it returns a number corresponding to where it finds
the string in the character name ie if a site is called /SAM-AXES-99 it will
return the value 5 so as 5 is neq (not equal to) zero it removes it from the
view.
