CST2013: Define Structure

The definition of the structure is the most general task. It usually starts by entering basic structure elements, the so called primitives.

It continues with the generation of more complicated elements by combining the already existing shapes with boolean operations. The existing shapes can also be modified by operations such as chamfer or blend edges.

All shapes are organized in so called components. The shapes of a particular component may have different material properties.
