hi Experts,
I have ASME nozzle connect to Gre piping. when export isometric is not show bolts and nuts. i check bltrefarray of catref nozzle is /A2R,STD (Bolt of ASME flange) and flange of Gre piping is /A2F,HDF,2000M (bolt of Gre Flange).
/A2R,STD and /A2F,HDF,2000M is same Bdia (0.63in).
What's problem happening ?
if i change Bltrefarry of Nozzle is same to Flange Gre (/A2F,HDF,2000M), isometric shall show bolts and nuts follow Gre Flange. However it will effect to all other ASME connection. i don't want to use this way.
Hi Corrado,
below is warning message

The BTHK is supposed to be the flange thickness.
NUT length and XTRA length are part of the SBOL definition.
I notice that the BDIA value for both is showing as 0.63 in
As PARAGON input is by default in milimetres, check the BDIA setting using metric units.
There is a chance that their metric values are different but "rounding" is making them appear equal when PDMS converts to inch
Hi Pitch,
You right t[COLOR=#333333]he BTHK is supposed to be the flange thickness.
[/COLOR]
I checked Bdia of [COLOR=#333333]/NTC-1SB21ZZZZBBJJ and [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]/A2F,HDF,2000M exactly is 0.63 in.
Nozzle spec and Gre spec are on different WORL (I copied database from 2 project). In each WORL, there have also Sbols which Bdia is same. The BTSET can refer to Sbol by Bdia and anything else? If there are may sbol which is same Bdia, it will have problem?
