Input values are attributes for the support that are entered by the user either through the Excel sheet or from the support properties page in the software. Input values can be either Occurrence Attributes or Non-Occurrence Attributes, also known as Catalog Attributes. The values may or may not be displayed on the property page. Each input value has four associated columns, Value, Rule, Selection, and Definition, in the Excel sheet.

Value - Specifies a value, such as offset, and is based on the user input.

Rule - Specifies the hanger rule that returns a value and this overrides the value in the Value field.

Selection - Specifies the codelist value that defines whether the code uses the input value or the rule value. If you do not specify this attribute, the value attribute is used unless you specify a rule. Use the following values:

  • 1 - By Rule

  • 2 - By Input

Definition - Specifies how to measure a value.

For example, to define the shoe height, you must either enter a value for height or a rule must return a value for the height. The following definition values for shoe height are supported:

  • Bottom of Shoe to Pipe Centerline

  • Bottom of Shoe to Top of Shoe

  • Bottom of Shoe to Bottom of Repad

You can add additional definitions for each dimension value based on the requirements. The following use-cases are supported:

  • Use case 1: User types a value in the Value column and a definition in the Definition column.

    Leave the Rule column empty. If the Rule column is populated, then the rule overrides the value specified in the Value column.

  • Use case 2: User supplies a hanger rule in the Rule column and the definition in the Definition column.

    If you do not enter a definition, or if you enter an unknown definition, then an error displays and the support fails.

Example

The following example uses adjustable base support to explain the input values.

Supported Definitions:

1 - Top of the Structure to Bottom of Plate

SDB - Input Values - Example - 1 - Top of Struct to Bott of Plate

2 - Top of Structure to Top of Plate

SDB - Input Values - Example - 1 - Top of Struct to Top of Plate

  • The first row has an offset of 10mm and the PlateOffsetDefinition is 1, which specifies the offset is from the top of the structure to the bottom of the plate.

  • The second row has an offset of 20mm and the PlateOffsetDefinition is 2, which specifies the offset is from the top of the structure to the top of the plate.
