Part Type: Fastener (PE)

Rules for the creation of Feature Variants for Plant Engineering parts

Named isolated points

Designation	Function	Comment	Position in coordinate system
!	Connecting point	Fitting point	In origin (0,0,0)
2	Auxiliary point		X = 0, Y = 0, Z > 0
The part has no insertion length. When the part is inserted, it will be placed with its fitting point onto a connection of the target part. Connecting point 2 will only be used for a correct alignment.

Required attributes for entries into database or catalogue

The entering of attribute values and the part type selection should be performed using the PAA Editor.

Values need to be entered for at least the following attributes:

Attribute

Description

BENENNUNG

Designation of the part

NORMBEZEICHNUNG

Standard designation of the part

An entry will even be required if the part corresponds to no standard.

ANSCHLUSSART

Connection type for which the fastener is intended.

NENNWEITE

Nominal diameter intended for the fastener.

Additionally (only if the corresponding standard uses nominal diameters in inches):

NPS_INCH

Nominal diameter in inches (e.g. 1 1/2‘‘, the ‘‘ consist of 2 ‘ characters)

These additional values make sense if the above attributes should not be sufficient as search criteria:

D_AUSSEN

Outer diameter for which the fastener is intended

WANDDICKE

Wall thickness for which the fastener is intended

Possible values of the attribute ANSCHLUSSART (CONNECTION_TYPE):

20000	Flange connection	Please note: The option to specify, via the attribute ANSCHLUSSART, a connected part that will automatically be inserted together with the part (if the corresponding option has been set) is not available here.
2040x	Flange connection of a part that is not a flange itself. The part has a loose flange that is modelled as a sub-part and has no own article master attached to this connection.
42000	Plugged, socket
51000	Socket-welded, nipple
52000	Socket-welded, socket

Please also read the information given in the paragraphs Connection type ID with priority information and Connection type ID - List of part standards.
