Create Section Fitting

When a section fitting is designed it is usually intended for use on one or more specific Plines which may be shown on the Plotfile.

For the fitting to work as intended, the Justification Pline should be carefully selected.

When a Justification Pline has been selected from the options list or graphically identified, an aid arrow is displayed at the Pline location on the section, which points in the Z direction of the Pline. The aid arrow is identified by a text aid which shows the Pline name. The aid arrow is positioned along the Z direction of the section at the distance specified in the Z Distance textbox. The default Z Distance is 0.

Fittings are designed to a specific orientation such that the Beta Angle does not need to be modified from the default of 0. However, some fittings may work at different Beta Angles and entering a value in the Beta Angle field orientates the fitting around the fittings Z axis, that is the Z axis of the Justification Pline; the direction of the aid arrow.
