Parameters may be calculated and set when the physical connection rules are run. Parameters can be used to adjust the bevel shape or to simply set properties on the physical connections. An initial set of parameter values is delivered to the catalog during the bulkload process. If a parameter rule is not used, values are obtained from the catalog defaults. In the case of physical connections, a parameter rules is almost always used.

To set a symbol parameter using the physical connection rules, use the following guidelines:

  1. The parameter must exist in the weld symbol.

  2. The name of the parameter in the weld symbol and the name of the parameter in the rule must match exactly.

  3. The parameter must be declared as an output in the parameter rule:

    • It is not necessary to use every available parameter in each parameter rule. Use only the ones that are necessary for the bevel configuration.

  4. After the value of the parameter has been calculated, the output should be set. Every parameter that is declared as an output must be set.

    • Use this example to set the output for a numeric value:

      ((ControlledParameterDouble)controlledParameters[DetailingCustomAssembliesConstants.NoseOrientationAngle]).Value = Math.PI - mountingAngle;

    • The following list summarizes the tee weld symbol parameters: Use this example to set the output for a codelist:

      ((ControlledParameterDouble)controlledParameters[DetailingCustomAssembliesConstants.NoseMethod]).Value = 65536;

The next sections describe the sets of parameters that are available for each type of physical connection.
