Define in place connection
Menu access: Piping | Define in place connection
Description:
These connections are which define the ends of the future pipeline and as well the dimensions of the connection on this point.
These coordinate systems must have their origins on the reference curve and to be normal to it.
General philosophy:
Select the coordinate systems you wish to use as connection in place.
Choose in the list, the dimensions (pair diameter and thickness) you wish on this end.
Specific point(s):
You can create as many connections
you want, but only two connections can be used for the same pipeline (connections
defining the ends of the pipeline).
If no any in place connection is used, the ends of the reference curve set the beginning and the end of the pipeline.
Example:
|
|
Reference curve
Extremity connections (or in place connection) with a diameter value 12 mm
Extremity connections with a diameter value 18 mm
By using in place connections, you can create several pipelines with the same reference curve. |
Available modification(s):
Once you created a pipeline with
"in place connections", you can modify
the connections dimensions through the symbolic tree. To do this,
edit your pipeline and right clic on the connection you wish to modify.
You will have the function "Modify size" available.
This feature is available through the symbolic tree only if there is not any standard component in your pipeline. Otherwise, it is them that control the dimensions of the pipeline.
You can also modify the connection
dimension by using again this function on the same coordinate system.
You can link a pipe onto the length
of another one by using the function Assembly | Use process.
