WELDANGLES
Function:
Allows configuration in which one pipe is welded to another pipe or component such that the flow directions of the two objects are non-parallel.
Description:
The WELDANGLES command takes effect for configurations in which one pipe is welded to another pipe or component such that the flow directions of the two objects are non-parallel. Toggling between the two states WELDANGLES ON and WELDANGLES OFF allows the User to switch on/off the functionality to accommodate oriented welds. The option may be set on/off by the new toggle switch labelled 'Oriented weld angles' on the Dimensioning Options form. The state WELDANGLES ON requires that the User also specify a minimum weld angle, WELDANGMIN (expressed in degrees), as being the minimum angle at which the change of direction be considered significant. In other words, for all angles greater than or equal to that specified, the new behaviour for oriented welds occurs; otherwise, the old behaviour (equivalent to WELDANGLES OFF), occurs. If the user specifies WELDANGLES ON, but does not specify a value for WELDANGMIN, the default value of 0.1° is used. The value of WELDANGMIN may be entered in the text box labelled 'Minimum weld angle' on the Dimensioning Options form. Note that if the component welded to a pipe in such a non-parallel configuration is of generic type (GTYPE) instrument (INST) or is an eccentric reducer, the WELDANGLES ON option will have no effect.
Examples
WELDANGLES OFF
Disables correct handling of oriented welds.
WELDANGLES ON WELDANGMIN 0.25
Enables correct handling of oriented welds for angles greater than or equal to 0.25°.
