NOTE The Engagement section of the dialog box is not enabled until the required
settings in the previous sections are set.
There are three types of engagement that you can set:
The Max is a percentage of the nominal size value (NS).
This engagement type automatically adjusts to changes
% of Nominal Size
in the nominal size. Gaskets and butt weld components
have 0% engagement.
Establishes an association between the connection
point and a work point representing the maximum
To Plane/Point (Asso-
ciated)
engagement position. The point can be an existing
work point or work point that is created by the inter-
section of a selected planar face and the work axis.
The actual maximum engagement position distance.
You can enter the distance in the dialog box.
Distance
The minimum engagement position is always specified as a percentage of the
Max distance.
When a pipe is inserted into a fitting, the pipe fitting procedure applies the
defined minimum and maximum to ensure the engagement position is within
the specified range. Depending on the minimum increment set in the style,
the end of the pipe falls between the Min and the Max.
NOTE For more information about setting the different types of engagement,
refer to the Help.
ISOGEN Properties
To support the optional ISOGEN output format, you must add certain
properties to the published fittings. The ISOGEN properties you must add are:
