The creation of a Gear AT Nut Element requires the input of a name, the reference to the property file (TLP-file) and the position and orientation of the nut defined by the reference marker. The Z-axis of this marker represents the rotation axis of the nut(
Figure 341).
The Gear AT Element is attached to the part belonging to the reference marker.
