Flange Components

The following requirements apply to flanges and flange components, so that Smap3D Piping can automatically place the matching flanges and gaskets.

Every connection point of a flange needs an INPUT_POINT, an  and an OUTPUT_AXIS. With Victaulic flange components SKEY FLCL should be used.

With Victaulic flange components the SKEY FLCL should be used.

 

Flange:

 

In addition, information on flanged End Treatment is necessary.

If the components contain such information within CSInfo, Smap3D Piping automatically places flanges and gaskets (eventually) and divides the pipes.

 

Counter Flange:

 

Stub-end Flange:

 

Lap Joint Flange:

 

 

See more information on Tapping point here.

 

The x-axis of each coordinate system must always point in the direction of the input or output.

For the detailed information about coordinate systems and axes see the Definitions chapter of this help.

The proper coordinate systems and axes as well as the CSInfo can be created easily using Coordinate System Wizard.
