Pipe Flange Connection - Dimension tab

Setting Description
Dimension
  • Thickness ? Sets the thickness of the Flange Plate.
  • Rim Size / Radius ? Sets the radius of the flange.
  • Offset from Edge/ Center ? Determines whether the Rim Size is to calculated from the edge or the center of the selected shape.
  • Shape Size as Diameter ? When checked, the diameter of the selected shape is set as the center hole diameter.
  • Clearance / Center Hole Diameter ? Sets the clearance of the hole at the center of the flange.

    Center Hole Diameter appears in place of Clearance when the Shape Size as Diameter is unchecked.

  • Pipe Insertion ? Sets the insertion of the pipe into the plate. The pipe may not be inserted beyond the thickness of the plate. Negative values are not accepted.
  • Group ? When checked, the entire connection, including the connecting shape, is assigned to a construction group. If the shape is already part of another component group, the connection will be assigned to the same group.
  • With Bolts - When checked, the bolts are also added to that group.
  • Shift Split Point ? Shifts the split point by the specified value.
  • Change Orientation ? When checked, changes the orientation of flange connection.
  • Rotation Angle ? Sets the angle of rotation.
  • Single End Flange ? When checked, the adds flange with single end.
Bolts
  • Num. of Bolts ? Sets the number bolts.
  • Bolt Type ? Sets the bolt type selected from the drop-down list.
  • Turn ? When checked, the bolt direction is inverted.
  • Diameter ? Sets the diameter of the bolt.
  • Work Loose ? Sets the hole tolerance.
  • Additional Length ? Sets the length of the bolt beyond the nut.
  • Bolt Circle ? Sets the radius for the bolts.
  • Offset form Edge/ Center ? Determines whether the Bolt Circle is to calculated from the edge or the center of the selected shape.
  • Weld ? When checked, the shapes are welded. Disables bolts settings.
Stiffeners
  • Num. of Stiffeners ?Indicates the number of stiffeners. Always equal to the number of bolts, unless Weld is checked.
  • Length ? Sets the longitudinal length of the Stiffeners.
  • Thickness ? Sets the thickness of the Stiffeners.
  • Rim Edge Offset ? Sets the offset from the outside edge of the flange.
  • Base Length ? Sets the distance from the plate's surface to the bevel edge.
  • Base Width ? Sets the distance from the pipe's outside surface to the bevel edge.
  • Side 1/ Side 2 / Both ? Determines the placement of the Stiffeners.
