Insert Bolted Flange Connections on Complete Part

Plant Engineering > Part Tools > Exchange > Flange connection, bolted - Part

Use this function to insert bolted flange connections on all flange connecting points of parts with a counterflange.

Select the desired part with the cursor.

First, the dialogue with general Settings for bolted connections will be displayed (if it has not been deactivated with the Suppress window checkbox). Here, especially the options for Level of detail and Geometry are of interest. In the Grip length area, you should always choose the Calculate option. The specified Fitting mode is not relevant here.

Specify the desired settings and confirm with OK. The subsequent behaviour of the function depends on whether or not a matching flange connection already exists as a referenced KRA file.

If the required bolted flange connections have already been saved as referenced KRA files, and for each insertion point only one bolted flange connections exists, no further inputs will be required and all bolted flange connections will be inserted automatically.

Otherwise, the required input data will be requested for the insertion point in question, as described in the Insert Individual Bolted Flange Connection topic.
