The MHEChuteShapes.xls workbook defines chute shape parts, properties, and attributes used by Materials Handling. The workbook is delivered to the [Product Folder]\MaterialsHandling\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles folder and is bulkloaded into the catalog.
Common Properties
Below is a listing of the common properties that you will see on each sheet.
Name
Enter the part number for the chute shape part. The keyword Name must be respected in the spreadsheet, but it is actually equivalent to the PartNumber. The software uses the part number at placement when the part name is automatically generated. An example is TransitionSectionC-001.
All part numbers must be unique across the entire catalog.
PartDescription
Type a description for the chute shape. An example is Chute Transition SectionC-001.
MirrorBehaviorOption
Type the mirror behavior code for the chute shape part. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Mirror Behavior Option sheet in the Codelist Number column.
ProcessEqTypes(i)
Type the coded process equipment type for the part. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Equipment Types sheet in the Codelist Number column. For example, 365 is the equipment type code for a vertical centrifugal pump.
SymbolDefinition
Type a definition of the C# .NET symbol you are creating for the chute shape part. An example is TransitionSectionA,Ingr.SP3D.Content.MaterialsHandling.TransSectA.
Definition
Type a definition of the C# .NET class you are creating for the Custom Assembly Definition for an equipment part. An example is MHHeadSection,Ingr.SP3D.Content.MaterialsHandling.HeadSection.
Part-Specific Properties
Below is a listing of the properties that are part-specific, meaning that they do not appear on each sheet in the Chute Shapes workbook.
DryWeight
Enter the empty weight of the chute shape part. Be sure to specify the units when entering this value.
WaterWeight
Enter the water weight of the chute shape part. Be sure to specify the units when entering this value.
For equipment, the Weight and CG property Wet Weight is the sum of DryWeight and WaterWeight. The dry weight and water weight values are catalog properties entered on the part
sheet for the equipment.
DryCOGX
Type the center-of-gravity location for the chute shape part along the x-axis when the part is empty.
DryCOGY
Type the center-of-gravity location for the chute shape part along the y-axis when the part is empty.
DryCOGZ
Type the center-of-gravity location for the chute shape part along the z-axis when the part is empty.
WaterCOGX
Type the center-of-gravity location for the chute shape part along the x-axis when the part is filled with water.
WaterCOGY
Type the center-of-gravity location for the chute shape part along the y-axis when the part is filled with water.
WaterCOGZ
Type the center-of-gravity location for the chute shape part along the z-axis when the part is filled with water.
