43. Member
Stable section ID: S05-CON-015-SECTION-44 · 12 content blocks
A Member is a physical structural element intended primarily to resist, carry, distribute, or transfer forces between Nodes, supports, foundations, or other structural entities.
Members may include beams, columns, posts, braces, joists, rafters, truss elements, rails, plates, or other linear, planar, or volumetric load-bearing elements.
Within System05, Members should remain as simple, materially adaptable, locally manufacturable, and replaceable as practical. Complex alignment, compatibility, locking, inspection, identification, and robotic-interaction functions should generally be concentrated within Nodes, Cartridges, and controlled interfaces.
A Member shall possess, where applicable:
a declared Member type, family, material class, and version;
defined structural functions and design actions;
controlled end and intermediate interfaces;
dimensional and tolerance requirements;
environmental and fire-performance conditions;
manufacturing, inspection, and lifecycle requirements;
an identity and traceable relationship to its associated Cartridges and Nodes.
A Member shall not be considered compatible merely because it can be physically inserted into a connection. Compatibility requires satisfaction of structural, geometric, material, environmental, interface, assembly, inspection, and version conditions.
