Port Definition
You need to define a part port.
The port dictates how a part is placed on the port and how a pipe/tube
is routed from the part.
- Part Port
- Part placement is allowed on this port.
- Pipe/tube routing can start or end by selecting this port.
Port Attributes
Each port contains specific attributes
that dictate the type of part that can connect to it, and its orientation. When you
create ports, the application predefines a set of attributes that are available to
you to define the required values. The following attributes are assigned on a port:
- Port type: piping/tubing, electrical, etc.
- Nominal size
- Rating
- End style
- Standard
- Outside diameter
- Wall thickness
- Alignment rules
- Orientation rules
- Location where other parts can connect.
