The bolts are added as a child with position 3.
The bolt sizes and quantities depend on the assembly size. For sizes 2 to 6, we need 6 bolts .5*100, and for sizes 8 to 10, we need 8 bolts .625*120.
Enter 3 in the Pos field, select the bolt short code (BLTS) from the LOV in the Short Code field, and enter 1 in the Option field. Enter the quantity 6 in the Quantity field, and select the quantity unit from the LOV in the Unit field.
Do not change the value in the From I1 field, but change the value to 6 in the To I1 field. Enter the bolt size .5 in the Input1 field and the bolt length 100 in the Input2 field. The input1 and input2 values of the bolt and assembly are not compared, and for all assemblies with a size between 2 and 6, six bolts .5*100 will be assigned.
To define the bolts for sizes 8 to 10, copy the position 3 using the F6 and F4 function keys.
Bolts and other children must be assigned to the same position number, if they are
assigned repeatedly to the assembly with different sizes/quantities depending on the
assembly size.
Enter 8 in the From I1 field, 10 in the To I1 field, .625 in the Input1 field, and 120 in the Input2 field. For all assemblies with a size between 8 and 10, eight bolts .625*120 will be assigned.
Instead of entering the bolt lengths on the assembly position tabs, you can define a filter table and assign this filter table to the bolt assembly positions. The picture below shows the example of a bolt filter geometric, defined on S.40.13 Filter Geometrics.
The bolt filter geometric is defined with nominal pipe size and bolt length columns.
This filter geometric must be assigned to the assembly position as shown in the picture below.
-
0 (zero) in the Input1, Input2, or Input3 field: Sizes of assembly master and the assembly child items are not compared.
-
-1 in Input1: Input1 of the assembly master is compared with Input1 of the assembly child.
-
-1 in Input2 (or 3): Input1 of the assembly master is compared with Input2 (or 3) of the assembly child.
-
-2 in Input2: Input2 of the assembly master is compared with Input2 of the assembly child.
-
-3 in Input3: Input1 of the assembly master is compared with Input3 of the assembly child.
If you change the assembly structure after you have created the assembly idents,
you must delete the existing idents because they are invalid. If you do not delete
the idents and re-build them afterwards, the assembly structure changes are not reflected
in the ident structure.
