4. For each object which defines a geometry standard:
– Open the properties.
– Modify the name and description.
– Enter the bolt step lengths on the "Attributes > Dimensions" tab.
– Save your entries.
5. Assign the geometry standard to an appropriate screw part. Amend the pipe part catalog
first if necessary. See also chapter Extending a system of standards in the pipe part
catalog (Page 59).
The attributes catalog does not have to be amended.
3.7.2.4 Configuring geometry standards for nuts and washers
Requirement
You have created a new geometry standard for bolt parts.
Procedure
1. Open the node of the newly created system of standards structure object.
For nuts:
– You see the structure objects for the nut types.
For washers:
– You see the objects defining the geometry standards (geometry tables).
2. For nuts:
– For each structure object which defines a nut type: Open the properties and enter a
description, e.g. "<nut type> acc. to <description of the geometry standard>".
– For each structure object which defines a nut type: Open the node.
You see the objects defining the geometry standards for nuts (basic tables).
3. For each basic table: Open the properties.
For nuts: Enter the following data for all dimensions on the "Attributes > Dimensions" tab:
– "L1" column: The nut height
– "L2" column: The overlap
– "P" column: The pitch
For washers:
Enter the height of the washer in the "L1" column on the "Attributes > Dimensions" tab.
4. Save your entries.
5. Assign the geometry standard to an appropriate screw part. Amend the pipe part catalog
first, if necessary. See also chapter Extending a system of standards in the pipe part
catalog (Page 59).
