Completing the Model
This chapter describes the tasks needed to complete the model: mounting the Adapter
onto the Modeling Systems, labeling the Daughterboard, and verifying the model. It also
describes how to unmount the Adapter from the Modeling Systems.
Mounting the Adapter onto the ModelSource
Modeling Systems
To mount the Adapter onto the ModelSource modeling systems, follow these steps:
1. Make a stack of four MS3200 or four MS3400 modeling systems (do not mix these
two modeling systems). Connect the modeling systems together as described in
“Chapter 2: Installation” in the ModelSource User’s Manual.
Note
Do not stack the modelings systems more than four high. Ensure that the
surface on which the modelers are stacked is flat and rigid.
2. Place the base of the Adapter against the front of the sets of four connected
modeling systems, hanging the Adapter’s hook receptacles on the positioning hooks
of the modeling systems. Pull the Adapter gently towards you to make sure that it is
securely balanced on the hooks.
3. Seat the modeling boards in the ModelSource modeling systems onto the Adapter as
described in the following paragraph.
Each modeling system has a knob on the right and on the left side for moving the
top and bottom modeling boards, respectively, backwards and forwards. Turn each
knob individually counterclockwise to bring each modeling board forward to
connect with the Adapter.
