Create Nominal Bore World
For users who require bores, that are not included in the standard nominal values stored in the core, a facility exists for the creation of tables that hold the required values in the catalogue database.
For users who require bolt diameters and bolt lengths, these values are held in the editable bolting-defaults file supplied with the software. To create or edit the bolting-defaults file, the user must make there changes in the Bolt Diameter/Length Table and click Save Data to File.
When being switched from module to module, the catalogue database is scanned for a NBRWLD element. Purpose on NBRWLD can be set to either BLEN or BDIA depending on whether the elements are being used to store metric/imperial equivalent Bolt Lengths or Bolt Diameters. If so, the nominal bore-checking routine is switched to the user defined nominal bores.
Select Create > Bolt Diameter/Length Table from the main menu to display the Create Nominal Bore World window.
Enter the Name and Purpose to be assigned to the new Nominal Bore World.
Click OK to create a Nominal Bore World (NBRWLD element) and display the Bolt Diameter/Length Table.
