Element Shapes

Equipment are built from elements. Elements have geometries.

These are:
  • box
  • cylinder
  • cylindrical transition
  • rectangle-to-rectangle transition
  • elliptical-head
  • torus

  • ring
  • symbol
  • text
  • symbol
  • mass

There is a set of placement and rotation variables associated with all elements. The default value for a placement and rotation variable is 0.0.

These variables are:
  • local-x-origin
  • local-y-origin
  • local-z-origin
Rotation variables (values are given in degrees):
  • local-x-origin
  • local-y-origin
  • local-z-origin

The following graphics show the specific dimensional variables for each element type. The elements are shown in their default rotation and their placement point is indicated with a small box.
