Configuration of Hole Management Data

Additional hole size properties on piping and HVAC components are used to control automatic hole dimensions. If these properties are not provided the system uses hole management default sizes (for example, OD for pipe holes).
Hole Management Design and Catalogue data configuration is as described in the Design Common Functionality User Guide, with the addition of new data set properties on selected piping components.
The following properties are used to control automatic hole sizes.

Property Name (DKEY) |
Description |
|
AHDI |
Property specifying the diameter of the hole required for the component (a REAL DISTANCE expression returning the hole diameter.) The property is used if: It is associated with a piping or HVAC component that clashes with the panel at the penetration. For example, this property may specify the outside diameter of a COUP element that represents a penetration sleeve. It is associated with a FLAN component that is adjacent to a penetration clash with pipe implied tube. This allows for a flange clearance hole to be created. If the AHDI property is applied, the Clearance value is ignored. If the AHDI property is not applied, (Pipe OD + Clearance) is used to calculate the hole size. |
|
AHX |
Property specifying the X dimension of a rectangular hole required for the component (a REAL DISTANCE expression.) If the AHX property is applied, the Clearance value is ignored If the AHX property is not applied, (Component width + Clearance) is used to calculate the hole size |
|
AHY |
As for AHX, but specifies the Y or height dimension of the hole. |
