This allows the diameter of Round and Oval ends to be increased or decreased depending on the connector being used on the end. This adjustment is applied in addition to any other existing adjustments.
Please use the Navigation & Toolbars for information on how to access the Global database using your application.
The adjustment is set in the column labelled Diameter Adjust.
A value can be entered here to increase or decrease the size of the diameter, alternatively the Diameter Adjust can be set to be Material Specific.
If Material Specific is selected then a Diameter Adjust Set must be selected. The Diameter Adjust Set is created in the Materials database.
The Effective Diameter Set
This will apply the predefined adjustments, to the item, that were created in the Effective Diameter table when the Use Connector Dependant Effective Diameters check box is applied. These tables are created by selecting either of the Connector Dependant tables from the pull down menu and creating a set within them.
The Oval Connector Dependant Sets have a number of extra fields, some of which are not used in the actual development of the item but are there for using in reports. These are explained below.
- Major Axis
- Minor Axis
- Round Size
- Equivalent
- Ovalising Spacers
- Ovalising Stroke
- Straight Major
- Straight Minor
- Large End Major
- Large End Minor
- Small End Major
- Small End Minor
Please note that fittings that do not support unequal ends will report a Geometry is Invalid error when you try to develop them in takeoff, if the adjustments create unequal ends.
