Maximum Allowable Bore Sizes

Each MDS framework has the functionality to control the minimum and maximum pipe bore allowed for the template.

• This is achieved by setting the :MdsMaxBore and :MdsMinBore uda.

  For example, if the first template for FT09 is 60x06x8 angle and you set the :MdsMaxBore to 100 and the :MdsMinBore to 50, the user will not be allowed to add a pipe to the support which is less than 50 or greater than 100.

The MDS framework can also be configured to set the minimum and maximum pipe bores using the dimensional values.

• This is achieved by setting the :MdsRange uda.

  For example, if the uda is set to ‘1,0,610,80’, it means that dimension 1 can be between 0 and 610 with a maximum bore of 80. If it is set to ‘(1/2/3),0,610,80\(1/2),0,305,80\3,0,305,80’, it means that dimension 1, 2, and 3 has a maximum length of 610 up to 80 bore, dimension 1 and 2 has a maximum length of 305 up to 80 bore, and dimension 3 has a maximum length of 305 up to 80 bore. The largest bore will be used in the check when more that one bore exists on a framework.
