Hanger Configurations

PURP

Set to DATA

GTYP

Hanger build macro suffix

:HCONN

Head connection type (tells the application which type of ATTA is being used for this configuration):

CATT:  Component ATTA

ATTA:  Tube ATTA

:TCONN

Tail connection type (tells the application how to connect to the steelwork or civil):

NONE:  No connection (for example, sliding)

BLTD:  Bolted connection at back marker p-line

BOLT:  Bolted connection at face of steel using back-marker positions

SBOL:  Bolted connection at face of steel with option of using back-marker or central position

WELD:  Welded connection

:DESINFO

Not used at this release

:DRAINFO

Not used at this release

:MAXLEN

Maximum hanger length where not explicitly defined using hanger length data table (see below)

:MINLEN

Minimum hanger length where not explicitly defined using hanger length data table (see below)

:PSLOPE

Logical flag if pipe is permitted to slope wrt hanger direction

:ASLOPE

Logical flag if steel/civil attachment is permitted to slope wrt hanger direction

:PARHANG

Logical flag if partial build available for ‘parallel’ type configurations

XHBFITT

To reposition fitting once last component is known

XHBHELE

To create, orientate and position a HELE element

XHBHORI

To orientate a HELE element

XHBSCLA

To create, orientate and position an SCLA element

XHBSTART

To start Hanger building

XHBSTART

To start Hanger building

XHBSPAC

To create steel profile spacer between specified hanger elements

XHBHCLN

To check the fitted length on any hanger element

For tube ATTAs, single value (quoted if using TANS)

For component ATTAs, space or / separated list for TEE, ELBO, BEND components

(NONE if not applicable)

2

Any other selectors (quoted if using TANS)

3

COMP or TUBE

4

Hanger Direction p-point (for TUBE). This p-point will be orientated to point in the direction of the hanger Rotation Direction p-point (for COMP). This p-point will be orientated to point in the perpendicular direction of BENDs or ELBOs.

5

Angle flag. True if the component has a DDANG which needs to be deduced.

6

Connection/Fitting instructions:

ATTA: Sets PCLA height to distance P0 to P3 of ATTA

FITH: Sets PCLA height to distance HH to HT

FITP: Sets PCLA height to half pipe OD

CONN: Does not set PCLA height

7

Spec from which to select component:

INSPEC: Select from current HSPEC

PSPEC: Select from attached pipe PSPEC

<gid>: Select from explicit specification

2

Any other selectors (quoted if using TANS)

3

HELE GTYP. Unique WORD attribute used to identify HELE for later operations

4

GTYP of element which will be at the arrive end of the new HELE

5

GTYP of element which will be at the leave end of the new HELE

N.B. If argument 4 identifies an element which occurs later in the hanger's members list than argument 5, this will cause the new element to be created in ‘backwards’ mode. This can be very useful in some circumstances

6

Arrive p-point/Leave p-point (for example, 2/1)

7

Connection/Fitting instructions:

FIT: Fit the HELE into the available space (by setting HEIGHT attribute)

CONN: Connect the HELE to the previous element (or HH/HT)

DIST: Set the HELE at a specified distance from the previous element

PROP: Set the HELE at a specified proportional distance between the previous and the next elements

DIST and PROP both have the format <keyword> <value> <p-point> (the p-point designation is optional and defaults to P0)

8

Angle flag. True if the component has a DDANG which needs to be deduced.

9

Specification from which to select component:

INSPEC: Select from current HSPEC

PSPEC: Select from attached pipe PSPEC

<gid>: Select from explicit specification

2

Mode FORW or BACK

3

Connection/Fitting instructions

FIT: Fit the HELE into the available space (by setting HEIGHT attribute)

CONN: Connect the HELE to the previous element (or HH/HT)

DIST: Set the HELE at a specified distance from the previous element

PROP: Set the HELE at a specified proportional distance between the previous and the next elements

DIST and PROP both have the format <value> {<p-point>}

The default p-point is P0.

4

Angle Flag to direct component arrive/leave

2

Any other selectors (quoted if using TANS)

3

Fit flag. True if SCLA is to be fitted into the available space.

4

P-point to orientate towards previous component. The subroutine will attempt to align the PA/PL, but if this in insufficient, then it will use this p-point. Default orientation is determined by argument 5.

5

Default orientation:

TUBE: Pipe flow direction

STEEL: Steel direction (can be SCTN Y or X direction depending on hanger Tail connection type)

6

Any other selectors (quoted if using TANS):

INSPEC: Select from current HSPEC

PSPEC: Select from attached pipe PSPEC

<gid>: Select from explicit specification

2

Minimum/Maximum distance:

Explicit value

Parameter number (for example, PARAM 1)

3

P-points which min/max distance applies to (in arrive‑leave order)

4

Type flag: MIN or MAX
