Step 9 of 14: Prepare the Steel Shaft Practice Project

EL1.9: Steel Shaft Practical Example

Written by Alexandra Göttert

This begins a full practical example — a steel shaft — that puts Additional Objects to use.

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of Additional Objects.

Steps

1.) Create the steel shaft practice project. Using the Shaft Wizard, create a project with:

  • 5 floors, typical floor-to-floor distance 3000 mm

  • Consider travel: No; Create building floor levels: No

  • Traction elevator, 2:1 roping

  • 13 persons / 1000 kg, 1 m/s

  • Machine room: Top

  • Car roping: 2 pulleys below, without CW safety gear

  • Counterweight roping: 1 pulley top, counterweight right

  • Sheet templates: not necessary

  • Car size: width 1600 mm, depth 1400 mm

  • Entrances: front on all floors, rear on the first and last level

  • Individual floor-to-floor distances: Pit 1200 mm; E1 2900 mm; E2 3000 mm; E3 3000 mm; E4 3800 mm

  • Save the project as LDTrainingSteelShaft.ld3.

2.) Prepare your view frames. In the existing work area, prepare Plan, View from Left, and 3D View frames. Switch off any components not required for this exercise.

Result

The steel shaft practice project exists, saved and with its view frames prepared for the additional-objects work in the following steps.
