i have an old bolting method spec, where i refering to an ltab which only contains length without 5mm steps. so only 60mm 70mm 80mm...
Now i have a connection between two flanges. one with 80 and one with 70mm length (specbreak)
Specbreak ltab contains 5mm steps, but i think that is not the prob...
My problem is, when i generate isometric, it is still showing a length of 75mm, but the code is from 80mm as it has to...
could it be, that PDMS ignores the ltab first by calculating the length? How can i fix that problem?
PDMS 12.1.SP4...
AKONE WHEN WE HAVE DIFFERENT BLTREF IT CALCULATE AVG BLENGTH (80+70)/2 =75 , then it will search in dtab for nearest value,NOW IF YOU CHECK IN YOUR DTAB YOU MAY HAVE VALUES LIKE 70,75,80,85,90 ETC. so its giving you bolt length 75 ,if you wish to have bltlength as 80 mm then 1.use same bltref 2.change interval in DTAB TO 70,80,85,90.....
no, as already mentioned. There are no values of 75, 85,... in the dtab...
of course, i know how it is calculating, but there are not such length inside...And, as mentioned, the MESC is chosen from the correct length...
I tried something...i inculded a bolt atta with length 90mm...so now it was calculating (90+70)/2 = 80mm -> correct length mentioned on ismetrics...
Strange thing: For the other 3 times, where i did not included the bolt attas, it was now also shown correct with 80mm, but i didn't change something in it...
But in the material list it was shown 2 times with same length and same MESC code...
I think, problem is the second ltab, where 5mm steps are mentioned, but according AVEVA, PDMS is only using the first mentioned LTAB...and, the MESC code is from the correct one...so still strange for me...
Any other ideas?
