Piping Component from a Part Model (Dimension Table)
Piping Design
If you are filling in data in the database view for the first time, confirm the copying of the pipe library into the Custom/dbases folder.
We recommend filling in the fields marked with asterisks (*).
- Fill in the data in the 4-page COMPONENT DATA view.
- Fill in data on the pages:
- Code - The application will fill in the data based on the dimension table.
- Type - In the G4 Mechanical Engineering application, the software will fill in the default value.
In the Plant Piping option, the user can select a component type for each part, which will then be used, for example, in the isometry application for adding an isometry symbol.
- Description - Enter a clear-language name for the component, for example 'Valve'.
- You can set the same name for all rows of the dimension table by clicking the Set to All button.
- You can show the dimension table IDs defined for a part as a list by clicking the All Rows button.
- Dn Size - If necessary, change the Dn Size.
If there are several sizes available for the component, for example a T branch, fill them in separated by vertical lines ( | ).
You can type a vertical line ( | ) by pressing the Alt Gr + > keys.
If the component has only a single Dn size, you only need to fill in the first field.
- Diameter - Click and select the variables in the dimension table which determine the external diameters of the connected pipes.
- Wall - Click and select the variables in the dimension table which determine the walls of the component.
If the component has several walls, for example a T branch, fill them in separated by vertical lines ( | ).
- Material - Click and select a material. Leave the field empty if you wish the component to suit all pipes.
- Classes - The pipe class is used in Plant Engineering pipelines. Fill in all pipe classes in which you wish to use the component, separated by vertical lines ( | ). If you leave a field empty, the component becomes available for all pipe classes.
- Radius - Select the dimension table variable which determines the elbow radius of an elbow type component.
- Fill in data if necessary.
- Save the data by clicking OK.
The piping component is now finished. You can add the component from the library.
