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; |
