Manipulating the Catalogue Database using PARAGON : Constructing 3D Pointsets : Example of Defining a 3D Pointset
Example of Defining a 3D Pointset
A suitable 3D Pointset for the reducing tee shown in Figure 5:2.: Example of Parameterisation for a Reducing Tee would be created as follows:
NEW PTSET /RTPTSE
Create new 3D Pointset
NEW PTAX
Create axial P-point element
NUMBER 1
P1
PAXI -Y
Direction of P1 along negative Y axis
PDIS (PARA[5])
Distance along axis from P0 = half overall length
PCON (PARA[7])
Connection type at P1
PBOR (PARA[1])
Nominal bore at P1
NEW PTAX
 
NUM 2 PAXI Y PDIS (PARA[5]) PCON (PARA[7]) PBOR (PARA[1])
NEW PTAX
 
NUM 3 PAXI X PDIS (PARA[6]) PCON (PARA[8]) PBOR (PARA[3])
Notice how all the P-point attributes may be defined on one line. The last P-point (P3) could alternatively be defined as a Cartesian P-point:
NEW PTCAR
NUM 3 PCON (PARA[8]) PBOR (PARA[3])
PX (PARA[6]) PY 0 PZ 0
PTCDIR X
Further examples of the construction of typical 3D Pointsets are given in Appendix C. Reference information concerning the setting up of the P-point attributes is given in the following subsections.
