Supports : Ancillary Data

Sets the design parameter definitions for all the ancillary support components that can be 3D modelled using design parameters in the catalogue. It allows you to define the physical dimensions of all the ancillaries to match a given vendor.

The supplied parameters are generally based on, but not exclusively:


	Carpenter & Paterson Ltd
	Pipe Suspension Equipment Catalogue No. 7/94

References to the supplier figure numbers are provided on the relevant part of the window. The window also provides material descriptions. The window allows you to set minimum and maximum design values associated with certain attributes of the ancillary, and contains information used during Material Take Off (MTO) extraction using automatic drawing production.

The component descriptions can also contain rules that modify the geometry of the component in certain situations. For example, by adding stiffening webs for pipe shoes where the height of the shoe exceeds a given value.

Changes made are only applied to the database when Apply is clicked. Cancel removes the window. If changes have been made, but not applied, a window displays asking if the changes are to be applied before exiting.
