(User) bevel code

Refer to General Principles - Definitions for further information.

Gap

Chamfer

Alpha (a)

Opening angle on the upper side of a bevel with opening (for example, V-type bevels). For symmetric K- and X-joints, Alpha is valid also as the opening angle on negative side.

Alpha2

Second opening angle on the positive side of a bevel. Calculated for bevel types 31 and 39.

Beta (b)

Opening angle on negative side of K- and X-type bevels. For symmetrical bevel types, Beta by definition is equal to Alpha and should not be separately defined.

Beta2

Second opening angle on the negative side of a bevel. Calculated for bevel type 49.

E

Short for the E-measure of a joint (Refer to General Principles - Definitions ). Calculated parameter (or user given in modelling).

H

H-measure of the joint, that means, the distance to the nose/knee of K- and X-bevels (cf. the figure in the survey of the bevel types). The detailed interpretation of this parameter has been specified individually for each bevel type above.

D_TS, D_OS

The depth of the joint, measured from the positive side and the negative side, respectively. In case of chamfer the depth is measured from the point where the extended chamfer line intersects the vertical edge line of the bevel, cf. the figure below. These two parameters are calculated from other parameters.

Figure 1:54. Calculated bevel parameters.

Nose

Height of nose in the basic bevel type (relevant for certain bevel types only).

W_CHA

Width of chamfer, measured from the vertical line through the edge of the bevel (cf. the figure above). Calculated parameter.

Figure 1:55. Calculated width caused by second opening angle on positive side.

ANGLE2_WTS

Width caused by second opening angle on positive side. Calculated for bevel types 31 and 39.

ANGLE2_WOS

Width caused by second opening angle on negative side. Calculated for bevel type 49.

OTH_TS

OTH_OS

Height of chamfer on the positive side and on the negative side, respectively ("this side" and "other side"). Calculated parameters.

RAD

Radius of arc of "U"-shaped opening. RAD is relevant only for bevel types 33, 38, 43 and 48.

RADB

Radius of arc on negative side of "double U"-shaped opening. Relevant for bevel types 42 and 44.

NOSE_LEN_A

Length of nose, on positive side, for "double U"-shaped opening. Relevant for bevel types 42 and 44.

NOSE_LEN_B

Length of nose, on the negative side, for "double U"-shaped opening. Relevant for bevel types 42 and 44.

NOSE_ANGLE

Fixed angle at the nose. Relevant for bevel type 31.
