Geometry Sets

Multi-Discipline Supports Administrator Guide

Modifying User Defined Ancillary Geometry : Geometry Sets

The geometry sets have been created in project MDU. The following diagrams show what has been added and detail any properties that are being used. The MDS Administrator can add geometry using these properties if needed and add additional properties as necessary.

AT500 to AT700, BT500 to BT700, LT500 to LT700

Simple Box Representation

This is set to a length of 10, and uses the pipe outside diameter (OD) as the x and y length.

The three standard catalogue parameters have been added, nominal bore (NB), outside diameter (OD) and connection type (CONN) and 25 design parameters have been created. The following are the parameters that have been preset, i.e. to -1. All other design parameters are set to 0 (zero), as shown in the form displayed above.


Number	Description	Dkey
22	Minimum Insulation	MNIN
23	Maximum Insulation	MXIN
24	Minimum Temperature	MINT
25	Maximum Temperature	MAXT

No user editable design parameters have been defined.

AN500 to AN569

Anchor for Shoes

Simple Anchor Representation

These user standards will ask for a pipe shoe to be identified so it will read the shoe parameters HEI (shoe height) and WID (flange width) in order to size the anchor. It will then ask for a section or box to be identified to read the anchor width across the section of box.

The three standard catalogue parameters have been added, nominal bore (NB), outside diameter (OD) and connection type (CONN) and 25 design parameters have been created. The following list the parameters that have been preset, i.e. to -1, 100, 102 and 165. All other design parameters are set to 0 (zero), as shown in the form displayed above.


Number	Description	Dkey
1	Associated Shoe Height	HEI
2	Associated Shoe Flange Width	WID
3	Support Beam Flange Width	SBFW
22	Minimum Insulation	MNIN
23	Maximum Insulation	MXIN
24	Minimum Temperature	MINT
25	Maximum Temperature	MAXT

Design parameters 1, 2 and 3 have been declared as user editable (with an allowable range of 0 to 1000) and default values have been added as shown.
