You will usually begin creating your structural model by creating the frames. Frames are added at the location of sections along the hull. A Frames Properties dialog allows you to clip a frame, assign material and add openings.

Working with frames consists of the following:

·   Adding a Frame

·   Adding a Frame Opening

·   Calculating Frames

·   Frame Visibility

·   Deleting Frames

·   Modifying Frames

·   Moving Frames

·   Copying Frames
