Diameter Parameter of a Connection Point

When you create a new CPoint, you must specify the Nominal diameter of the port, corresponding to the nominal diameter of the pipe or tube to be attached. When you create additional configurations of a fitting containing a CPoint, each configuration needs an appropriate value for the Nominal diameter.

The Diameter parameter cannot be driven by equations. You must specify an explicit value for each connection point in each configuration of the fitting.

The Diameter parameter uses this syntax:

Diameter@CPointn

where CPointn is the name of the connection point. If the part has multiple connection points, create a column in the design table for each connection point.

In the body cell for each configuration, enter the value (the nominal diameter).

To verify that the correct value is used in each case, double-click the CPoint feature in the FeatureManager design tree. The Diameter is displayed in the graphics area.

The Diameter parameter in the connection points of fittings corresponds to the NominalDiameter@FilterSketch dimension in a pipe or tube part.
