Wall Thickness Table

Wall thickness tables are a reference list of elements with a bore and a wall thickness value. The Create Wall Thickness Table window is displayed with a default name based on the current element and must be created below a TABWLD element in the catalog hierarchy. It is also an administrative element.

Many multi-purpose windows provide similar functionality through the create and modify options, the functionality is common throughout all disciplines. Refer to Multi-Purpose Windows for further information. A Wall Thickness Table is added to the database hierarchy and the Wall Thickness Table window is displayed.

The Wall Thickness Table builds a set of wall thickness elements (WTHELE) matching the bore sizes in the specification to which it's applied. The bore sizes selected must match those in the specification from the Available Nominal Bores list.

Click to highlight the desired bores in the Available Nominal Bores (mm) list by left clicking on the desired bore size. Multiple bores can be selected at once by clicking and dragging the mouse pointer down the list.

Click Add > to populate the Nominal Bores column, to add the complete bore list to the Nominal Bore column, click Add All >>.

After the addition of the required bores to the Nominal Bores column, the Remove and Remove All options become active allowing the removal of bores from the Nominal Bores list.

After setting the required bores, the Wall Thickness values can be entered. For each nominal bores enter a wall thickness into the corresponding blank field.

When all the Wall Thickness values have been entered, click Apply to create the Wall Thickness Table (WHTAB) element in the database hierarchy displayed in the catalog hierarchy.
