Connections Tab (Appurtenance Properties Dialog Box)

Use this tab to view which parts are connected to the current appurtenance, the allowable deflection for the connected parts, the actual deflection applied, and the nominal diameter of the appurtenance at the connection (port).

Potential connections, or ports, are listed for the appurtenance. The number of rows shown corresponds to the number of available connections (ports) on the appurtenance.

Name

Displays the name of each part connected to the appurtenance at its connections (ports). Connections (ports) are identified by the name of the part they connect to. Open appurtenance ports that are not connected to a part are listed as Open.

Allowable Deflection

Displays the deflection that is allowed for each connected part, according to the allowable deflection specified in the part catalog.

Actual Deflection

Displays the actual deflection that is applied to the connected part.

Nominal Diameter

Displays the nominal diameter of the appurtenance at the connection (port).
