Creating an Elbow Part

To create a simple elbow part:

  1. Create a part that meets the geometry requirements for an elbow.
  2. Create a connection point at each end where the pipe exits the elbow. Optionally, you can include a specification parameter so you can filter elbow configurations.
  3. Insert a design table to create the configurations. In the header row, include these parameters:

    BendRadius@ElbowArc
    BendAngle@ElbowArc
    Diameter@CPoint1
    Diameter@CPoint2 (value must be unique for each configuration)
    Specification@CPoint1 (recommended)
    Specification@CPoint2 (recommended)
    You can include additional dimensions (outside diameter, shell thickness) and properties (part number, cost, weight per unit of length) as needed.

  4. Save the part in the Routing library specified in Routing File Locations.
