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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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
