Example 1: Simple Configuration
Configuration 1 has slip-on flanges with two welds at each flange. Configuration 2 has weld neck flanges with a single weld at each flange. In both cases, the work piece is transformed and rotated into a simple configuration.
Example 2: Branch Configurations (Fitting Tee)
The spool in the following example contains three work pieces in the FIX output file.
-
Work piece 1 consists of a single pipe.
-
Work piece 2 consists of a tee, a weld, and a pipe.
-
Work piece 3 consists of a single pipe.
-
There are two work piece connections (w1 and w2).
Example 3: Branch Configurations (Olet)
The spool in the following example will contain two work pieces in the FIX output file.
-
Work piece 1 consists of two flanges, two welds (1 and 5), and a pipe.
-
Work piece 2 consists of an olet, two welds (3 and 4), a pipe, and a flange.
-
There is one work piece connection (w1).
Example 4: Branch Configurations (Set-on / stub-in)
The spool in the following example will contain two work pieces in the FIX format file.
-
Work piece 1 contains a single section of pipe.
-
Work piece 2 contains a set-on (pseudo part) and a section of pipe.
-
There is one work piece connection (w1).
Example 5: Work Piece Rotation
In the local coordinate system, the work piece is rotated so that the longest secondary vector is rotated to the Y-axis of the work piece.
Secondary vectors are defined by calculating the projection of points to the X-axis
of the work piece.
