Detailed Description

Port.

A port is an object that defines the parameters and position of the connection point of an object to the system.

Member Function Documentation

SetAnchor()

self SetAnchor

(

Axis3D

anchor

)

Sets the port anchor.

By default, the accessory and fitting ports are located on the route. The anchor is used to offset the port and the adjacent object relative to the route. For example, the anchor should be set at eccentric reducer to offset the pipe or duct without changing the position of the route.

An anchor can only be set for a transit port. If an anchor is set for an end port, it will be ignored.

SetDuctParameters() [1/2]

self SetDuctParameters	(	DuctConnectorType	connectorType,
		CircularProfile	profile )

Sets the connection type and port profile for connection to duct systems.

Parameters

connectorType	Connector type.
profile	Pipe profile.

SetDuctParameters() [2/2]

self SetDuctParameters	(	DuctConnectorType	connectorType,
		RectangularProfile	profile )

Sets the connection type and port profile for connection to duct systems.

Parameters

connectorType	Connector type.
profile	Pipe profile.

SetPipeParameters() [1/2]

self SetPipeParameters	(	PipeConnectorType	connectorType,
		number	nominalDiameter )

Sets the type of connection and nominal diameter of the port for connection to pipeline systems.

Parameters

connectorType	Connector type.
nominalDiameter	Nominal diameter.

SetPipeParameters() [2/2]

self SetPipeParameters	(	PipeConnectorType	connectorType,
		PipeThreadSize	nominalDiameter )

Sets the type of connection and nominal diameter of the port for connection to pipeline systems.

Parameters

connectorType	Connector type.
nominalDiameter	Nominal diameter.

SetPlacement()

self SetPlacement

(

Placement3D

placement

)

Sets the port placement.

The route runs along the Z-axis of the port in automatic construction. To place an object as an accessory or fitting on a route, the insertion point and Z-axis vectors of the ports must be aligned with the route.
