Create Section Fitting

Specification

Select from the drop down list to display all the available groups of fitting component available for the section. Once a specification has been selected from the drop-down list, the Fitting Group and Fitting galleries are automatically populated with fitting group and fitting components available for selection.

Fitting Group

Select from the gallery to display all the available fitting components. Once a group has been selected, the Fitting gallery is automatically populated with the fitting components available for selection.

Fitting

Select a fitting component from the gallery. Once a fitting has been selected, the Design Parameters fields are automatically populated with default values.

Design Parameters

Input values in the fields to modify the dimensions of the fitting component parts.

Detail

Click to display a detailed image of the fitting. The Image window displays a detailed description of the fitting geometry and the different parameters and variables that can be applied to the fitting.

Include Weld Geometry

Select the check box to include the weld geometry for a section fitting.

Note:
The functionality is only available for welded fittings created from catalogue joints. The functionality is not available for welded fittings created from template joints because the welds must be included in the template.

The example displays a welded fitting created from a catalogue joint. The weld geometry displays in the 3D view.

The connection status of welded fittings can be inspected and modified using the Connection Review window. Refer to Review Connections for further information.

Angle

Press the down arrow key and select Angle to rotate the fitting.

You are prompted to Specify Angle <#deg>

Input an angular value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the angle of the fitting.

Basepoint

Press the down arrow key and select Basepoint to identify a base point to position the fitting.

You are then prompted to Specify base point or

Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the basepoint from which the position of the fitting is measured.

You are prompted to Specify Distance or

Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the position of the fitting.

Alternatively, input a value in the field to define a number of fittings and the distance between each fitting and press Enter to end the command. For example, input 5x200mm;2x100mm to create five fittings at 200mm intervals, followed by two fittings at 100mm intervals, measured from the basepoint.

Repeat

Press the down arrow key and select Repeat to create multiple fittings.

You are prompted to Specify Distance or <Finish>

Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the position of the fitting.

The prompt is repeated allowing you to create multiple fittings.

Input F at the prompt and press Enter to end the command.

Start

Press the down arrow key and select Start to identify the start of the section as the base point from which the position of the fitting is measured.

You are prompted to Specify Distance or

Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the position of the fitting.

Alternatively, input a value in the field to define a number of fittings and the distance between each fitting and press Enter to end the command. For example, input 5x200mm;2x100mm to create five fittings at 200mm intervals, followed by two fittings at 100mm intervals.

End

Press the down arrow key and select End to identify the end of the section as the base point from which the position of the fitting is measured.

You are prompted to Specify Distance or

Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the position of the fitting.

Alternatively, input a value in the field to define a number of fittings and the distance between each fitting and press Enter to end the command. For example, input 5x-200mm;2x-100mm to create five fittings at 200mm intervals, followed by two fittings at 100mm intervals.

Note:
Negative incremental values should be used to position fittings measured from the end of the section.

Back

Press the down arrow key and select Back to undo the last action.

Single

Press the down arrow key and select Single to create a single fitting.

You are then prompted to Specify Distance or

Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the position of the fitting.

Finish

Press the down arrow key and select Finish to end the command.
