Examples of Parameterization

Example 1 A Slip-On Flange

Example of Parameterization for a Slip-On Flange

A slip-on flange can be parameterized using five component parameters, as shown in the Example of Parameterization for a Slip-On Flange image.

• PARAM 1 - PBORE

• PARAM 2 - Outside Diameter

• PARAM 3 - Thickness

• PARAM 4 - Connection Type at P1

• PARAM 5 - Connection Type at P2

Example 2 A Reducing Tee

Example of Parameterization for a Reducing Tee

A reducing tee might be parameterized using 12 component parameters, as shown in the Example of Parameterization for a Reducing Tee image.

• PARAM 1 - Nominal bore of main run (PBOR1)

• PARAM 2 - Outside diameter of main run

• PARAM 3 - Nominal bore of branch (PBOR3)

• PARAM 4 - Outside diameter of branch

• PARAM 5 - Half overall length of main run

• PARAM 6 - Standout length of branch run

• PARAM 7 - Connection type of main run

• PARAM 8 - Connection type of branch run

• PARAM 9 - Flange diameter of main run

• PARAM 10 - Flange thickness of main run

• PARAM 11 - Flange diameter of branch run

• PARAM 12 - Flange thickness of branch run

Other families of tees could be defined as follows:

• Equal and reducing welded tees using parameters 1-8

• Equal and reducing flanged tees using all the parameters

Example 3 A Universal Beam Profile

Example of Parameterization for a Universal Beam Profile

A Universal Beam Profile might be parameterized using four component parameters, as shown in the Example of Parameterization for a Universal Beam Profile image.

• PARAM 1 - Overall height of Profile

• PARAM 2 - Flange width

• PARAM 3 - Web thickness

• PARAM 4 - Flange thickness

Example 4 An Angle Joint

Example of Parameterization for an Angle Joint

An Angle Joint might be parameterized using three component parameters and two attached parameters, as shown in the Example of Parameterization for an Angle Joint image.

• PARAM 1 - Overall height of angle leg

• PARAM 2 - Overall length of angle foot

• PARAM 3 - Thickness of leg and foot

• APARA 1 - Height of profile of attached Section

• APARA 2 - Width of flange of attached Section
