Attachment Point Element (ATTACHMENT)

Piping Component Element
Primary Element

Description:

The ATTACHMENT point has three main applications:

•

To allow pipe HANGARS to be connected to a point in the BRANCH

•

To indicate a special point on the BRANCH which can be dimensioned, labelled, and so on.

•

To allow forces, moments, for example: to be applied to the BRANCH during pipe stressing.

The ATTA is created, selected and consistency-checked in the same way as other Components. However, it is ignored as an in-line fitting by the CONNECT command and is ignored by the reporting utility when listing tube lengths.
