TAPE circular requirements

This topic describes the specification requirements for circular taper (TAPE) components.

Parameter description requirements

• Parameter #1 = Width of arrive

• Parameter #2 = Width of leave

Data set requirements

For information about data set requirements that apply for all circular components, refer to Circular component requirements.

The following requirements are in addition to the data references that are created for parameters.

** Where the Default value is set to a parameter, the Expression value must be set to the same parameter. This is applicable for all component types.

P-point requirements

For information about P-point requirements that apply for all circular components, refer to Circular component requirements.

P-point P2 is PTMI type because it is offset from the Z axis.

The following table shows the additional required P-points:

The P-points are arranged as shown in the following graphic:

Specification requirements

The following specification headings are required:

• Type (TYPE)

• Duct Shape (PSHA)

• Duct Width 1 (PWID1)

• Duct Height 1 (PHEI1) = 0

• Duct Width 2 (PWID2)

• Duct Height 2 (PHEI2) = 0

Specific Type (STYP) is used to differentiate between eccentric and concentric. This could simply have values of ECC and CONC.

The order of Duct Width 1, Duct Height 1, Duct Width 2, Duct Height 2 does not affect selection and use in the Model module.
