The ExternalDimensions section of the configuration file specifies how to calculate the outside dimensions of a component. The objects the software processes are component keypoints. As such, start aspect expressions with properties or methods in IComponentKeypoint. Common aspect expressions used in the ExternalDimensions section are listed below.
-
Nominal Size - Bore
-
Bore Units - BoreUnitsAsString
-
Pressure Rating - Component.Material.Rating
-
Piping Specification Component.Attributes.Item<PIPING-SPEC>.Value
The ExternalDimensions section supports three tags.
-
PipeOD specifies the outside diameter in millimeters (mm) of a non-flanged section of pipe.
-
FlangeOD specifies the outside diameter in millimeters (mm) of a flange.
-
FlangeThickness specifies the length in millimeters (mm) of the flanged section on the end of a flanged component.
