Inventor 2017 Sheet Metal Library In Frame Generator

I am new to Inventor and I have just started using frame generator. Is there a reason why there is no sheet metal library available in frame generator? I notice that there is a sheet metal library in content center but it is empty.

What you see within Content Center is the Fasteners and Components for working with sheet metal. Because there are no structural shapes you wouldn't see anything in Frame Generator. Even though, you can navigate to the folder, there may be items within the folder but nothing meets the standards for Frame Generator.

In addition to @blair information..  Frame Generator only looks at that the Structural section of content center.  You can create your own sheet metal structure components but they must be published to the structural section of content center of your own read/write (content center) library.  Are you looking to do that?
