Applies To Product(s): AutoPLANT Piping Version(s): 08.11.09.140 Environment: N/A Area: Component Subarea: Placement Original Author: Artiom Jakubovic, Bentley Technical Support Group In Victaulic module when two IPS pipes (AT_IPS_PIPE) are joint, following selection dialog will be show For this case only Number 75 Flexible Victaulic IPS Joint ([#75 Vic IPS Flexible]) and Number 77 Flexible Victaulic IPS Joint ([#77 Vic IPS Flexible]) is required Background Joints list in in AutoPlant Joint Selection Dialog is build based on two files. JOINTS.INI (%PROJECT_ROOT%\Config\modules\) and PORTS.INI %NETWORK_ROOT%\Modules\Victalic\ or (%PROJECT_ROOT%\Config\ Modules\Victalic\). In order to suppress unwanted joint from the list, joint availability should be suppressed. Steps to Accomplish First and second ends of joints for [#75 Vic IPS Flexible] and [#77 Vic IPS Flexible] joints are IGM (Victaulic IPS Male Grooved End). Ports.ini file for PipePorts section should have marching data. [PipePorts] ………… Port1.EC = PL ;IGM; BW ;SCM;SWM;SDL;FP;MJM …… …… …… Port2.EC = PL ;IGM; BW ;SCM;SWM;SDL;FP;MJM …… …… …… Removing PL and BW end codes will give next AutoPlant Selection Dialog: To suppress Number 77S Flexible Victaulic IPS Joint( [#7 Vic IPS Rigid] ) and Number 7 Rigid Victaulic IPS Joint ( [#77S Vic IPS Flexible]) comment joints names in JOINTS.INI file using semicolon. Example: ; [#77S Vic IPS Flexible] End1 = IGM End2 = IGM ReqMatch = ND ; OD Fasteners = AT_COUP_FLEX77S_FAST Description = Number 77S Flexible Victaulic IPS Joint Tolerance_Variable = MAX_CLAMPEDSLOPE_TOL As a result only required joints will be shown in dialog.
