Elements Used in Both Types of Catalog Section/Category

The following elements may be used in either type of Catalog Section or Category:

• 3D P-point Set (PTSET) (usually abbreviated to 3D Pointset)—a definition of the position, direction, connection type and bore of a Component’s P-points, to be used by Design and Isodraft.

• 3D Geometry Set (GMSET) (usually abbreviated to 3D Geomset)—a grouping of 3D primitive elements, defining the dimensions, orientation and obstruction geometry of each primitive. Used by Design and the Drawing modules.

• Data Set (DTSET) (usually abbreviated to Dataset)—a grouping of DATA elements, holding any catalog data not stored more specifically elsewhere and which is required for use in Design or Draft; for example, the cross-sectional area of a structural steel member calculated from its parameterized dimensions.

• Detailing Text (DTEX)—elements containing general descriptive text relating to a Component. Referred to from SPCOM elements in the Specification. For further details see Detailing TextRequirements for the Thermo Library Generation Tool.

• Material Text (MTEX)— elements containing text describing the material(s) from which the physical Component is constructed. Referred to from SPCOM elements in the Specification. For further details see Material Text.
