CADWorx Component Library

2009-11-28View Original

Thread Content

A component library in CADWorx - Flange component library, the names in it are as follows: ("NOM SIZE" "OD" "FLG.OD" "Y" "FLG THK" "WGT") Among them, "Y" refers to the total length of the flange. I don't understand it. How does it relate to the thickness "FLG THK"? What does the Y parameter refer to specifically? Can anyone help?

Doesn't anyone know how to do it? Looking for experts urgently

Just input the dimensions according to the flange manual. Note that the size of SIZE must not be wrong.

Y refers to the total length of the flange, including the boss length, which is different from the thickness

Borrowing someone else's reply, I don't remember the original address. ----The following content is excerpted from other posts 1. Component library Component library refers to recording the specific parameters (nominal diameter, thickness, length, etc.) of each component (pipeline, valve, flange, etc.) in the form of a file. CADWORX will generate a lot of component library files during installation. The library files are stored in the software installation directory C:\CADWorx Plant 2009\LIB_IC:\CADWorx Plant 2009\LIB_M, C:\CADWorx Plant 2009\LIB_MM, the files in each directory are roughly the same, the difference is that the measurement units of the component parameters are different.: \LIB_I Nominal diameter and length are both inch size\LIB_M nominal diameter is imperial, length * * System\LIB_MM nominal diameter and length are both * * LIB_MM introduces it as an example: There are many folders with three-letter names in this directory. These folders contain many files with the extension of the folder name. These files are component library files. They can be opened with a text editor such as Notepad. You can see that it records the specific parameter information of a component. These three-letter folders can be divided into two categories according to the component library files they contain.: 1. Pressure type: Most of these folders include valves, flanges, gaskets, bolts and other components. like: \LIB_MM\150 represents a component with a pressure of 150 pounds, \LIB_MM\15C represents a component with a pressure of 1500 pounds. For the naming rules of component library files under the same pressure, please refer to this directory. LIB_MM.pdf document. example: LIB_MM\150\GAT_The F.150 document is at LIB_MM.pdf You can find the following corresponding items in the file. "150" in the first column indicates the folder name is 150 (150 pounds). "GAT" in the second column_F" means the file name is GAT_F.150 (the extension must be the same as the folder name) The third column indicates that this file records the parameters of the GATEVALE gate valve connected with FLG flange when the pressure is 150 pounds. Let’s introduce the different parameters of different component libraries in detail. Use Notepad to open the component library file of the gate valve. You can see the description information in the first line. The following is the parameter table.: ("NOM.SIZE" "OD" "FLG OD" "FLG THK" "LENGTH" "WGT" ) =================================================================== ("Nominal diameter" "Outer diameter" "Flange outer diameter" "Flange thickness" Valve length" "Valve weight" ) Parameter list of the flange component library: ("NOM SIZE" "OD" "FLG OD" "Y" "FLG THK" "WGT" ) =================================================================== ("Nominal diameter" "Outer diameter" "Flange outer diameter" "Total flange length" "Flange thickness" "Weight") Parameter list of the gasket component library: ( "NOM.SIZE" "OD" "FLG.OD" "THK" "WGT" ) ================================================== ("Nominal diameter" "Outer diameter" "Flange outer diameter" "Thickness" "Weight") 2. Wall thickness: Most of these folders include pipe fittings, pipes, etc. like: \Lib_MM\STD\PIP_W.STD represents standard wall thickness pipes and fittings, \Lib_MM\S80\PIP_W. S80 represents pipes and fittings with table number SCH80. The S80 catalog includes pipes, elbows, heads and other components based on SCH80. example: LIB_MM\S80\PIP_W.S80 file is at LIB_MM.pdf The following corresponding items can be found in the file. This file records various parameters of the pipeline based on SCH80 as the standard. Use Notepad to open the pipeline component library. You can see the description information in the first line and the parameter list below.: ( "NOM.SIZE" "OD" "TRD.ENG." "SOC.ENG." "WGT" "THK" ) ============================================================= ("Nominal diameter" "Outer diameter" "Thread outer diameter" "Socket weld outer diameter" "Weight" "Thickness") Parameter table of the elbow component library (90 degrees as an example): ( "NOM.SIZE" "OD" "RADIUS" "WGT" "THK" ) ======================================================= ("Nominal diameter" "Outer diameter" "Structural length" "Weight" "Thickness") Parameter table of the head component library ( "NOM. SIZE" "OD" "LENGTH" "WGT" "THK" ) ======================================================= ("Nominal diameter" "Outer diameter" "Length" Weight" "Thickness") Note: 1. When users create their own component library, each folder must be in LIB_MM (or LIB_I.LIB_M) directory and consists of three letters (such as 150, 15C, S80, STD) 2. The extension of the component file in each directory must also be the name of this directory. (such as GAT_F.150 extension is 150, while PIP_W. S80 extension is S80). 3. These files can be opened and modified with a text editor (Notepad, WordPad). 4. The data format of these component libraries is defined and cannot be changed at will. Only the corresponding numbers can be modified. When creating a new component library file, you can first copy the corresponding library file and then make modifications.
