-> Input -> Hanger -> HangerTail -> TailCheck
Field
Data Type
Description
Notes
ComponentSequence
INT
The component sequence of the component in the current hanger parts list. The p-point can be checked against the supporting surface.
ConnectionPoint
INT
The position of the p-point number which can be compared against the supporting surface intersection point.
Refer to
Checking Error Example
for further information.
Checking Error Example
The example displays a checking error between the check component and the supporting steelwork. This is because the pre-defined checking point on the component is not in contact with the calculated intersection on the support steelwork. This check forms part of the supports health checking utility and must be passed to complete any support design.
Note:
If a checking point has not been defined, the check point is assumed to be the leave point of the last hanger component.
