The geometry requirements (parameters) for connectors that include a hexagonal (hex) end are listed below. For connectors with this type of geometry, you must set the End Draw type parameter to Hex End.
This example uses a hex female connector. The specification used in this example is “ASME B16.22”.
Note that typically estimated values are used to specify the Hex Height and Hex Length parameters, according to the specification.
Parameter (Dimension) | Value |
Diameter | Should be set according to catalog. |
Extension | = Depth "G" |
Snap Offset | = -2 x Extension |
Hex Height |
= 2x(Outside diameter)XSQRT(1/3) Outside diameter = F + 2T |
Hex Length | = Depth "G" |
Hex Offset | = 0 |
