Structure Flexible Hose Routes
When defining the flexible hose style you must decide if you want the fittings
placed into either a flat structure or a subassembly.
All parts are independent components placed along
with all other components under the pipe run. There
is no subassembly.
Flat structure
All parts are grouped into a subassembly under the
pipe run.
Subassembly struc-
ture
The route structure used for your design is typically determined by how the
hose route parts are purchased, assembled, and represented in manufacturing
documentation such as Parts Lists and Bills of Materials (BOM).
