Defining a Flange End Type

Suppose that we want our flange end type to be an instance of the basic type 4. For this type the position of the knuckle point, W_KN, has to be defined. Assume that the knuckle line should be 15 mm above the end of the arc. Besides the conditions are the same as for the flange width. W_KN will be calculated:

W_KN = 2*PI*(R + T/3)/4 + 15 <=>
W_KN = (PI/2)*R + (PI/6)*T + 15

that means, :

KN_H_FACT

= 0

KN_RAD_FACT

= PI/2 ~= 1.571

KN_T_FACT

= PI/6 ~= 0.523

KN_CONST

= 15

Basic type 4 also requires the parameters R1 and FLA_V. If we set R1 to 30, FLA_V to 25, and we want to refer to the flange end type as number 5, then our flange end will be defined with the statement:

FLA_END, 5

  

/TYPE

= 4

/KN_RAD_FACT

= 1.571

/KN_T_FACT

= 0.523

/KN_CONST

= 15

/FLA_V

= 25

/R1

= 30;
