Delivered SSRs

The following Support Selection Rules are delivered with the product:

  • StandardSupportSelRule

  • DesignSupportSelRule

Worksheet Column Headings

The following column headings can be found in an assembly, Assy_xxx, worksheet. The information provided is used by the various Support Selection Rules to determine whether supports should be returned.

Worksheet Column Definitions

CommandType

The code that specifies which Hangers and Supports task command can use the assembly. Valid codes are listed on the HngSupCommand worksheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the column, Codelist Number. The SSR only returns supports that use By Structure or By Point.

DisciplineType

The code that represents the type of object that the assembly can support. Valid codes are listed on the HngSupDiscipline worksheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the Codelist Number column. For example, if the support is to be placed on pipe, only those supports whose discipline type is 1 (Piping) is returned by the SSR.

TypeSelectionRule

The code that specifies the location of the supporting structure with respect to the route being supported. Valid codes are listed on the HngSupTypeSelectionRule worksheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the Codelist Number column. For example, this attribute can be used to ensure that the support is only returned by the SSR if the route is below the supporting structure.

MinAssemblyLength / MaxAssemblyLength

The minimum and maximum length from the supporting structure to the route. Include the units of measure when specifying this value (for example, 1500 mm). A support is returned by the SSR if the distance from the supporting structure to the first selected route is within this limit.

SupportingCount

The maximum number of supporting objects (for example, beams) to which the assembly can be attached. Type 1+ to indicate that the support can be attached to a variable number of supported objects. A support with SupportingCount=1 is not returned by the SSR if you select two structures.

SupportedCount

The maximum number of supported objects (for example, pipes) to which the assembly can be attached. Type 1+ to indicate that the support can be attached to a variable number of supported objects. A support with SupportedCount = 1 is not returned by the SSR if you select multiple pipes.

NDFrom / NDTo

The minimum and maximum nominal diameter for the supported object. This option is only used for conduit and pipe assemblies. A support is only be returned by the SSR if the pipe nominal diameter is within the limits set.

NominalWidthFrom / NominalWidthTo

The minimum and maximum width of the supported object for the assembly. Include the units of measurement (in or mm, for example) when specifying this value. This value is used for rectangular supported objects such as ducts.

NominalDepthFrom / NominalDepthTo

The minimum and maximum depth of the supported object for the assembly. Include the units of measurement (in or mm, for example) when specifying this value. Type 0 if the supported object is circular.

SupportedFamily

The type of supported object. Valid types are STRAIGHT, TURN, END, ALONG, BRANCH, ENTRYEXIT, SEGMENT, SURFACE, TRANSITION, and PART. Using END and PART allow you to place hangers on in-line components. PART defines objects such as valves, flanges, and tees. END defines end features (for example, reducers). Supports with SupportedFamily = TURN is only returned by the SSR if the support is placed on a turn.

RulePriority

Defines the sort order of a list of assemblies from the Type box. You can assign a numerical value randomly in this column. Assemblies are sorted in an ascending order based on RulePriority value. If two or more assemblies are assigned the same RulePriority value, then the assemblies with the same value are sorted alphabetically.
