Hangers and Supports
Defines hanger and support data transfer settings.
The AVEVA E3D™ elements ATTA/SHU/SUPPO can be used for hanger or support points. The default value is the attachment point.
Attachment and support points are only transferred to Rohr2 if the value of the ATT type attribute is set to HANG, NULL or is empty and the value of the FStatus attribute is not set to INSULATION.
Both elements are provided with the UDAs: USTHTYP (hanger type) and: USTSCHTYP (stress calculated hanger type).
The UDA: USTHTYP can be used to define a hanger type before stress calculation.
The selection is limited by the Witzenmann hanger types.
The UDA: USTSCHTYP is set by Rohr2 and contains the hanger type after stress calculation by Rohr2. If there is an equivalent Witzenmann hanger type, the UDA: USTHTYP is overwritten during import of Rohr2 data.
When transferring geometry to Rohr2, the UDA: USTSCHTYP is checked for a hanger type that has already been transferred from Rohr2. In that case, it would be transferred to Rohr2 again. If the UDA does not contain a valid value, the UDA: USTHTYP is analysed and transferred if necessary. If this UDA also does not contain a valid value, the standard hanger type is used.
The advantage of the procedure is that hanger types do not have to be defined AVEVA E3D™. The stress calculator defines a default hanger type for the first stress calculation in Rohr2. For example, it is possible to define a constant hanger for steam pipes or a friction-type bearing for water pipes as a default. The following alternatives can be selected:
•
Constant hanger <Standard>
•
Rigid hanger
•
Friction-type bearing
•
Spring hanger
