Connections Tab (Ancillaries Properties Dialog Box)

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

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

Name

Displays the name of each part connected to the ancillaries at its connections (ports). Connections (ports) are identified by the name of the part they connect to. Open ancillaries 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 ancillaries at the connection (port).
