Assigning Port Attribute Values

You can assign attribute values to a port, or modify them.

Before you begin: Select the part with the ports you want to assign values to.

Creating Parts References
  1. From the Fluid Design section of the action bar, click Port Attributes .
    The Port attributes dialog box appears to display the ports of the part and green arrows are displayed on each port. Even though this is a newly created port, the dialog box displays values because the port derives attribute values from the part on which it is created.
  2. Select the port you want to assign values in the dialog box or from the work area by clicking a port.
    The following attributes are displayed in the dialog box:

    • Standard
    • Nominal Size
    • End Style
    • Rating
    • Wall Thickness
    • Outside Diameter
    • Flow Direction

  3. Click the arrow next to each attribute and select a value.
  4. Click OK when finished.

Tip: If you change the attribute value of a port (of the type string), then the corresponding attribute value on the part also changes. To see the change, click Build Part, and the Build Part dialog box displays the part attribute values. If a part has two ports, with two different values, then both are displayed.
