Configure Pipe Penetration Components

Pipe penetrations components are COUP elements. Penetrations components that do not need to be positioned on a penetrated plate surface do not need special treatment, for example a pipe sleeve positioned at the penetration position.

If the component is placed on a surface of the penetrated plate. It must conform to the following rules:

The GTYPE is COUP

The COMPTYPE of the component must be set to ORIC

The component must support four design parameters as follows:

The component must have a P3 pointing in a direct normal to the plate surface. Which points in the direction specified by design parameters 1 to 3.

The offset (design parameter 4) is the distance along the pipe of the arrive and leave p-points from the origin of the COUP which is in the centre of the plate.

In the sample project, an example of a pipe penetration component can be found in category /MACB2OR.
