[QUOTE=corrado;49273]As far as I know, when there is nothing between the two flanges but just a gasket, and the two flanges have the same boltref, then it takes the length attribute and doesn't go to the Nstdblength table.
I am talking about the OLD method.....
corrado,
I think you are right.
After searching and trying:
1. The Length attribute will be used when there is nothing between the two flanges but just a gasket, and the two flanges have the same boltref[/U].
2. The Nstdblength table will be used when:
- There is nothing between the two flanges but just a gasket, and the two flanges have the different boltref[/U].
- There's wafer item (not a gasket) between the flanges.
And in this case, as pitch said:
[QUOTE=pitch;49258]
Isodraft goes to the boltref of Flange 1 of the joint, it then takes the value of length of the Sbol and divides by two.
It repeats this for the second flange in the joint, again taking half the value of the length.
It then finds the length of any wafer items that may be present.
All the derived length values are then added together (1/2 length 1 + 1/2 length 2 + any wafer length)
The Nstdblength list is then searched to find a match for the total length. If an exact match is not found it takes the first entry greater than the calculated length.
It is eventually down to you what entries are available in the Nstdblength table
You can change the length of the Sbol as much as you wish BUT you still need an entry in the table to match.
