Part objects represent piping parts, or fittings, that form part of the work piece. Examples of piping parts include flanges and tees. In the Isogen FIX file, <Part> element defines part object data.

Basic Syntax:

<Part ID="FBC6F70D-0E4C-41F1-B9AC-8AD4613D80C7" PartNumber="5" Occurrence="1" ComponentType="Weld Neck Flange">
<End1 Type="BW--" OD="114.3" WallThickness="6.02" X="3207" Y="0" Z="27" E="1311.3" N="8765" U="2430" />
<End2 Type="FL--" Connection="Open" X="3281.7" Y="0" Z="27" E="1236.6" N="8765" U="2430" />
</Part>

The Part element can contain any of the following data:

  • Fixed part object attributes:

    • ID specifies the internal unique identifier for the part.

    • UCI specifies the unique identifier for the part as generated by the source 3D system.

    • ComponentType indicates the Isogen component type identifier, such as tee or slip-on flange.

    • SKEY identifies the Isogen symbol key, which determines the specific type of part (FLSO, TEBW, and so on).

    • ItemCode/Description specifies the pipe item code or commodity code from materials management and its long description (as it appears in the Material Take-Off).

    • Material specifies the pipe material of construction, such as carbon steel.

    • NS, [NS2, NS3], NSUnits specifies the part nominal size and size units in inches or millimeters. The NS property is always present. The NS2 and NS3 properties are present depending on the part type.

  • Enumeration of any user-specified attribute values in the source PCF or IDF.

    Project-specific mapping may be needed to interpret these values.

  • Coordinate data:

    • Start point and End point

    • Internal keypoints, such as the center points of an elbow (Centre1, Centre2)

    • Any additional external keypoints, such as branch connection points (End1, End2, and so on)

    • Start and end coordinates of the part in both local (X,Y,Z) and installed (E,N,U) coordinates
