I guess you are using the NEW bolting method, aren't you?
Navigate to your valve SCOM.
As Pitch was saying, youn need to set its BLRFARRAY attribute in order to point to two different BTSE.
I.e. BLRFARRAY /AAVGBB2-8-20 /AAVGBB2-4-20
Then in your spec you just need one entry for 20mm diameter bolt:
[QUOTE=corrado;64194]dank69, BDIA, BTYP and BTHL are STRING type attributes so they can contain expressions, NOFF is REAL.
So you need to create as many BTSE elements as many holes_x_diameter combinations you have.Yes, that is what I am seeing here. So my question remains:
If you had a relief valve with 8xM20 pattern on the inlet and 4xM20 pattern on the outlet, how would you write your bolt spec?
Example: HEADING
TYPE NAME BDIA BTYP CATREF DETAIL MATXT CMPREF BLTREF
DEFAULTS
- - - STUD
BOLT */8x20mmSTUD 20.0 STUD /STUD /STUD-D /STUD-M =0 /ABGAB
BOLT */4x20mmSTUD 20.0 STUD /STUD /STUD-D /STUD-M =0 /ABKAB Can't use BSEL because the valve can only have one BSEL, right?
NEW Bolting----A relief valve uses 2 BLTREFs One for each end
OLD Bolting-----A relief valve uses an Mbol with 2 entries in the Sbrarray One for each end
In both cases the bolt for each end is calculated separately
