Piping Specification User Guide ix
Preface
Piping Specification User Guide describes the procedures for creating and
accessing piping specification files. The piping design software uses these files to
model piping systems. This book should be used in conjunction with the Generate
Piping Specification File command (GENERATE PSFILE) or menu option,
described in the Piping User Guide and Menu Reference.
This book also describes the process of creating a piping specification infput file
(INFILE), which tells the Generate Piping Specification File command or option
what to include in a particular specification. This process is described in general
terms and through a specific industry example:*the ANSI specification D2B.

Piping Specification User Guide 1-1
Chapter 1 Master Catalogs
This chapter describes the function and structure of the master catalogs for piping
components. The relationship of these catalogs to parameter and autoselection files
is explained.
Function of Master Catalogs
Structure of Master Catalogs
Components and Naming Conventions
Master Catalogs
1-2 Piping Specification User Guide
The master catalogs are a set of files listing dimensions for commonly used pipes
and fittings. The catalogs also reference generic names and library parts to use
when inserting fittings.
To use the plant design system effectively, you must route pipes and insert fittings
according to a piping specification. To create a set of specifications using Explicit
Modeling software, a central store of selectable piping items is necessary. This
store is referred to as the master catalog.
We supply master catalog files that cover the commonly used ANSI standard pipes
and fittings, as well as a range of manufacturers pipes and fittings, as part of its
standard software package. Also available are the master catalog files to support
DIN. These are not documented in detail in this book since it is sufficient to use
the ANSI catalogs as an example. The items that are supported in these catalogs
are listed in Appendix A, Standard Dimensional Data for ANSI. These catalogs
are not exhaustive, but include the more commonly used piping components in the
size range 1/2 through 48 N.B. (nominal bore). Future revisions of the software
may include an extension to the master catalogs both in size range and component
type. Current features of the system let you easily extend the range of the
components.
The file naming conventions presented here can be used at Explicit Modeling level
only. See the Explicit Modeling User Guide for information on file naming
conventions used at the operating system level.
Master Catalogs
The process of creating piping specifications requires an understanding of the
master catalogs structure as well as how the files are created, modified, and
maintained.
It is easier to edit and manipulate a small file than a large file. For this reason,
master catalogs are subdivided into many small files as shown in the following
table:
Please note: Files in the CVPD Standard Master Catalogs (as shipped with
the product) are in the /usr/apl/cadds/data/aec/2151 directory. Consult
your system administrator for the location of data/aec/2151 on your system.
You should become familiar with the contents of these files. They are, in effect, the
department store where you go shopping with the software that generates piping
specifications. Part of the file cvpd/mcat/balv is shown in the following figure.
Parameter values T4 through T6 are missing in several entries in the master
catalog. No dimensional ANSI standard exists for those sizes. Be sure to fill in
these values according to your vendor-specified standards. All of these parameters
are necessary to use the CREATE DETAIL command.

Master Catalogs
The header line for this file is common to all master catalog files. You can change
the order of the fields or vary the length of the fields up to the maximums shown as
follows:
Fields of the Standard Master Catalog File
The fields have the following meanings.
TYPE
An abbreviation of the fittings name, for example, BALV indicates ball valve.
ENDS
The type of facing on the fitting, for example, BW indicates butt weld. Some types
are double-ended, for example, FFSO indicates Flat Face Slip On. These entries
are necessary for end type compatibility checking. These codes are user-definable.
If both ends of a fitting are the same, such as with valves, you need only use one
end type.
Table 1-3
Field Number of Characters
TYPE 8
ENDS 8 (4 + 4 for double-end
types)
RATE 8
SIZE 16 (8 + 8 for double-size
items)
PARM Up to 10 characters per
numeric parameter, with a
maximum of 29 parameters.
(Keep in mind that the width
is limited to 132.)
ECC 28
NAME 28
Table 1-2 cvpd/mcat/balv
Master Catalogs
RATE
The pressure rating for the fitting, for example, 600 indicates 600#. For some
types, rate may mean schedule; that is, 10S indicates Schedule 10S (for pipe). You
can leave the rate field blank for fittings with the same TYPE, SIZE, ENDS, and
dimensional data. This reduces the number of entries required in the master
catalog.
SIZE
Default size codes meaning nominal bore of the fitting (see the Pipe Size Codes
table).
PARM
A series of values, or parameters, that describes the fittings true size. Although
the parameter fields are not numerically annotated, the system understands them
to have headers of T1, T2, T3, and so forth. These entries are necessary for the
procedure file(s) used by the commands CREATE DETAIL, CHECK
INTERFERENCE, CREATE SURFACE, and INSERT FITTING (for
parametrically scaled fittings only). See Chapter 2, Library Parts for more
information. Note that this field can contain descriptive information instead, if you
use the master catalog file as a description file.
ECC
For fittings, a nonzero value indicates the eccentricity or offset, of the fitting. For
bolting, the value equals the number of bolts. If neither apply, this column can
have a 0 or be left blank.
NAME
Name of the nodal figure (Nfigure).
The system uses the parametric and eccentricity values in two ways. The first two
parameters (T1 and T2) and the eccentricity value are copied into the SCLX,
SCLY, and SCLZ fields, respectively, of the autoselection file. Their values appear
in the autoselection file for use by the command INSERT FITTING. Second, all
parameters (T1, T2, T3, and so forth) are copied into the PARAM field of the
parameter file for use by the commands CREATE DETAIL, CREATE SURFACE,
CHECK INTERFERENCE, and INSERT FITTING (for parametrically scaled
fittings only).
The parameter values are delimited by commas in the file. The final value is not
delimited, however. The master catalog file also contains some exceptions.
Master Catalogs
Here additional parameters are required to define the valve operator. In these
size/classes, the valve typically requires gear/pneumatic/electrical operators. No
dimensional ANSI standards or typical industry standards exist for these items.
Therefore, you should fill in your own values for the type needed for your contract.
As is commonly known, valve topwork of any type is not covered by ANSI
standards, and the dimensions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. For this
reason, we have selected average values based on a survey of several makes. In
potentially tight clearance situations, you may want to take this into account. In
addition, you may extend the master catalogs to include the dimensions in a
particular manufacturers catalog.
Master Catalogs
Appendix A, Standard Dimensional Data for ANSI lists components included in
the CVPD standard master catalogs. The naming conventions used in this list are
not mandatory. Certainly, abbreviations and naming conventions vary between
companies. For this reason, the software for generating piping specifications
allows you to replace the default naming system with your own. However,
retaining the structure of the master catalogs is advised to facilitate the use of new
software releases.
Please note: Remember also that the files are and must remain sorted, even
after you edit them to expand the content. You must sort the files on the first four
fields (TYPE, ENDS, RATE, and SIZE).
Chapter 2 Library Parts
This chapter describes the relationship between the master catalogs and library
parts in plant design modeling. The structure of these parts is presented along with
procedures for making such parts with appropriate properties. The process of
developing procedure files for library parts is explained in the
Visualization/Preparation Reference.
Function of Library Parts
Library Parts
Library parts provide graphic representations of components included in your
piping specifications. Complementary to the master catalogs are the individual
nodal figures (graphic representations) for each type of fitting. Without these
Nfigures, you cannot do any piping system modeling. You can create piping
specifications using only master catalogs, but these are text files with no graphics.
You must have the parts to get graphic representations of piping components.
Therefore, as you extend the range of the catalogs, you may also have to extend
the parts library.
You can model piping systems in either single-or double-precision part format.
Note that library figures supplied with your system are in single-precision format
only. If you want to work in double-precision format, you should reformat all your
libraries (see the Explicit Modeling User Guide for more information). Your
single- and double-precision libraries should be placed in separate CVPATHs so
they may be discriminated easily. Each precision library should include its own
Nfigures.
A few of the figures in the CVPD.F part library are in Figure 2-1. See Appendix F,
Creating Parametric Fittings for examples and descriptions of the parametric
fittings.
These parts are accessed by their part name, for example, CVPD.F.BALV. You can
use the Local Data Manager (LDM) to activate the part and the drawing.
Library Parts
Figure 2-1 Figures in the CVPD Parts Library
The Figures 2-2 through 2-6 illustrate the graphics, nodal entities, and properties
for a representative case for valve, elbow, eccentric reducer, tee, and olet fittings.
From these you can generalize to make specific examples of a given type.
Library Parts
First, see Figure 2-2, the library part representation of a gate valve. (You can use
these as examples to make other components.)
The gate valve in Figure 2-2 was modeled using the standard Explicit Modeling
options.
The scope of this book does not include the basics of modeling. Presented here is
the process of creating library parts and preparing nodal figures from them. Also
described are inserting properties on library parts and creating procedure files. See
Appendix F, Creating Parametric Fittings for a discussion of parametric fittings
and how they are made.

Library Parts Structure
The following sections describe the structure of library parts.
Figures
The library part in the Figure 2-2 is a simple three-dimensional stick
representation. All the parts in the library are modeled similarly. They consist of
connect nodes, internal nodal lines, and several properties and part properties. The
model image is constructed with circles, lines, and other simple graphic entities.
The parts in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 are modeled in inches. This unit is required
to ensure compatibility with the insertion software. However, you can use other
units for scales and parameters. For details see Chapter 4, Piping Specifications
and SELECT PPARAMETERS of this manual.
The degree of detail given to the stick figure is a matter of choice, but should be
the minimum required for recognition of the part. These simple, skeletal graphics
are the most efficient for the computer to manipulate. Such graphics are generated
quickly when you use the command INSERT FITTING.
Layers
In modeling, can may insert the entities that make up a figure on different layers.
This is useful for differentiating elements of a part. Layering is also useful in
differentiating three-dimensional and single-plane (isometric) graphics.
Nodal Entities
Nodal entities form an essential element of the library part. Cnodes represent the
faces of the fittings. Nlines represent the internal flow path within the fittings. In
valves, Tnodes associate an item number (nodal text) with the valve.
The first step in creating a library part is to insert the nodal entities.
Properties
Properties are another important element of the library part. See Appendix B,
Properties in Library Parts for definitions of important part properties. The type
of property depends upon the function of the part and the information to be taken
from it. The properties on the entities in the Figure 2-2 through Figure 2-6 are
examples. The incoming Cnode at the parts origin is on layer 0 and has at least
two properties attached to it: CONNECTOR and ENDTYPE. The CONNECTOR
property establishes connectivity in the pipeline with which the fitting reports.
Library Parts
Only those fittings with the CONNECTOR property are reported by the command
REPORT PIPE.
The ENDTYPE property must be on all CNODES (except those at the origins of
branches, such as tees and olets). Therefore, ENDTYPE is also attached to the
outgoing Cnode on layer 0. The system uses the ENDTYPE property for
compatibility checking. The command INSERT FITTING gets the text value for
this property from the autoselection file. That file is created by the command
GENERATE PSFILE. For reducing fittings and reducing tees, the NPS property
should also be on all Cnodes. Both of these properties have null values of four
periods which are replaced with size or end type information at insertion time.
Note that any property that has variable information inserted by INSERT FITTING
should have null values to speed later updating.
The nodal line in the Figure 2-2 is 1 inch long and connects the incoming Cnode to
the outgoing Cnode. This line is inserted on layer 30 and has the property
INTERNAL so that the nodal line is not interpreted as a pipe and included in
reports of pipe length. All nodal lines within in-stream components must have this
property. In branching fittings, one nodal line also has the BRANCH property (see
Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6).
The second step in creating a library part is to associate the appropriate properties
with the nodal entities.
Graphics
1. The first step in creating the part shown in the Figure 2-2 is to insert the two
Cnodes, the internal nodal line, and their properties.
2. The next step in creating a library part is to add some graphics to make the
image resemble a gate valve. One procedure is to insert two 1 inch diameter
circles on layer 30 with their origins at the two Cnodes.
3. Then rotate the entity to get them on the correct construction plane. Insert two
strings on layer 0, one to represent the valve body and one for the handwheel.
4. Then insert two more lines on layer 30 to complete the model graphics of the
gate valve. These lines represent the valve body in the Z plane. Insert a Tnode
with the property ITEMNO on layer 0. Associate the Tnode with the incoming
Cnode by using the command RELATE CNODE TNODE.
Library Parts
The Origin and Axes of Parts
The Figure 1-1 illustrates an important element in a library part - the model axis
system. All parts are modeled in the same relationship to this system. Its
conventions are as follows: +X is East, +Y is North, and +Z is up. The origin of
the gate valve in Figure 2-2 is on the Cnode at X0, Y0, Z0. The concept of origin
is especially important in relation to the procedure files for creating a detailed
appearance.
As it is modeled, the gate valve in Figure 2-2 has a length of 1 inch in the positive
x-direction (SCLX). The true length of this valve is parameter T1 (recorded in the
master catalog). This is the value extracted by INSERT FITTING. The circles lie
in yz- planes (SCLY and SCLZ). The circles true diameter extracted by INSERT
FITTING is parameter T2. For flanged valves, T2 is equal to the flanges diameter.
Scale y- and scale z- are generally taken as equal to parameter T2.
The standard model representations inserted with the INSERT FITTING
command are uniformly scaled according to the x- and y- dimensions from the
autoselection file. This uniform scaling is appropriate for most components.
However, in relation to nodal figures, SCLX, SCLY, and SCLZ have limitations.
The column headed SCLZ in the ASFILE contains an offset number which is used
only for eccentric reducers. Therefore, the representation of the topwork on the
gate valve in Figure 2-2 can only be expressed in terms of SCLX and SCLY. If the
circle that indicates the handwheel were modeled with a diameter of an inch, then
upon insertion the handwheel would always be the same diameter as the length of
the valve (SCLX), regardless of the valve size. This is, of course, not realistic.
Similarly, the string that forms the cone to indicate the valve stem has a
perpendicular equal to 1 inch in length. This means that the height of the
handwheel would be equal to the diameter of the flange (SCLY). Again, this is not
the case. Therefore, only an approximation of the topwork size can be given.
In the sample valve, this approximation is created as follows.
The circle is 0.75 in diameter and it is inserted on layer 30.
The string has a perpendicular of one inch and a base length of 0.60; it is
inserted on layer 0.
Although you will find uniform scaling sufficient for most purposes, you may
want more accurate dimensioning for specific components (for example, a branch
fitting with unequal inlet and outlet or branch legs). You can prepare special
library parts that can be scaled parametrically (in a similar manner to the way that
CREATE DETAIL scales graphics). The dimensions for these parts are obtained
from a fitting parameter file rather than interactively or from the autoselection file.
Library Parts
Appendix F, Creating Parametric Fittings tells you how to prepare the library
parts and parameter files for parametric fittings.
Inserting Part Properties
The final step in creating a library part such as the gate valve in Figure 2-2 is to
insert part properties.
Inserting the COMPNAME Property
The COMPNAME property stores the name of the fitting. For example, GATV is a
gate valve (flanged); GVBW is a gate valve (butt weld). Refer to the column
NAME in the master catalog for fitting names.
The command REPORT PIPE may use the COMPNAME property to generate
component lists.
Inserting the STOCKNO Property
To increase the efficiency of the software, give the STOCKNO property a value of
n periods or other filler character. The number of characters should equal the
length of the longest stock number you use. The command INSERT FITTING
assigns the stock number at the time of insertion. You define the format of the
stock number while creating the piping specification.
Inserting the PNAME Property
The PNAME property stores the name of a procedure file. This property is optional
and is not included on most fittings. This file is used by the commands CREATE
DETAIL and CHECK INTERFERENCE to produce the solid appearance of the
valve. The format of this text file is discussed in the next section.
Inserting the FITTYPE Property
FITTYPE is an integer-valued property. This property is used by the command
GENERATE ISOMETRIC to rescale the fittings for isometric graphics. It is also
used for dimensioning purposes (DIMENSION ISOMETRIC) and reporting
purposes (REPORT PIPE). For a list of other fittings and their FITTYPE values,
see Appendix B, Properties in Library Parts.
For examples of the use of other properties, see Figure 2-3 through Figure 2-6.
Library Parts
Filing the Part as a Nodal Figure
The following steps are essential after you model a part:
1. Reduce the part extents for purposes of storage and retrieval.
2. Compact data for efficient storage and retrieval.
3. File the part as a nodal subfigure. The part is filed with the name you used in
activating it: CVPD.F.GATV. NOTVF files the part without the associated
drawing file. This helps you to save disk space. You can also rename the
Nfigure at this stage.
Once you have filed the gate valve as a nodal figure, the next step is to create a
procedure file for use by the visualization and interference checking options. For
more information on procedure files and visualization, see the
Visualization/Preparation Reference. For more information on interference
checking, see Reports and Analyses Reference.
Layering Conventions
The layering conventions used in the CVPD.F library for the construction of
piping components are as follows:
The system can produce fabrication isometrics from modeled pipelines (see the
Isometric Drawing User Guide). Fabrication isometrics almost always have the
fittings shown as two-dimensional as shown in Figure 2-7. Because of this, you
must decide at the time of part construction what you want to see on the isometric.
See Figure 2-2 to see which lines give the representation shown in Figure 2-7.
These lines were inserted on layer 0, as the table of layering conventions indicates.

Ntext 250 (absolute layer), so that Ntext always goes

Chapter 3 Piping Specifications
This chapter discusses the relationship of a piping specification to the master
catalogs and library parts. The procedures for creating a piping specification input
file (INFILE) for the command GENERATE PSFILE are presented in detail. The
command and its relation to the autoselection process are explained.

Creating a Piping Specification INFILE
INFILE Format
Sorting and Merging Files
The structure of the nodal figure combined with the information in the master
catalogs greatly expands the use of each figure. One nodal figure can represent a
whole range of size and pressure classes.
The information in the master catalogs and the parts library is used to create the
contract piping specification shown in the following table.
You will recognize the format of this piping specification as representative of this
type of document. The specification is D2B, the basic construction material is
carbon-1/2 moly, and the flange rating is ANSI STD 600# RTJ.
The piping insertion software is designed for piping and piping components in
general. To make your piping specification work with the pipe and pipe fitting
insertion software, you must create two basic files. One is an autoselection
(specification) file. This is used primarily by the command INSERT FITTING to
find and insert the part you specify. The other is a parameter file, used by the
commands CREATE DETAIL,
CHECK INTERFERENCE, and CREATE SURFACE. See Appendix D, File
Formats for examples of these files. Parameter files are also used to scale
specially prepared library parts. See Appendix F, Creating Parametric Fittings
for a complete discussion of parametric fittings.
A useful concept is to consider the autoselection file as the systems version of the
piping specification. The autoselection file can contain more than one piping
specification; however, creating one autoselection file per specification is strongly
recommended. As with master catalogs, a smaller file makes for better system
response and file manipulation.

PTC CONTRACT:NEGB CONTINUOUS REFORMATTING PLANT
The key to the two required files, autoselection and parameter, is an input file
called an INFILE. This INFILE is the shopping list that you use in the department
store - the master catalogs. The INFILE is required before you can proceed
effectively with the modeling process. Basic to that process is the command
GENERATE PSFILE, described in more detail below.
When you use this command, the items you specify in the INFILE are searched
for in the master catalog. If the item is found, the following information goes into
the autoselection file.
The item with its specification, size, end type, parameters T1 (SCLX), T2
(SCLY), ECC (SCLZ), name, and stock number.
Insert Fitting Code (IFC) that GENERATE PSFILE creates.
All the parameters and the stock number go into the parameter file.
When the INFILE is complete, you process it with the following command:
#n#GENERATE PSFILE INFILE PLANT.INFILE.D2B
ASFILE PLANT.ASFILE.D2B PAFILE PLANT.PAFILE.D2B NMFILE
PLANT.NMFILE.D2B
These file names are hypothetical. File names are your choice, but to take
advantage of the CVMAC CVPD.SPEC.CVM.MERGE that sorts these files and
combines the parameter files, you should follow the convention of using the
specification name (for example, A6A, B3A, C6A, D2B, D6A) as the last level of
the file name. The command has several modifiers, which are discussed later.
Using the previous command, you have created three files related to the pipe
specification D2B, using the INFILE called PLANT.INFILE.D2B. Two of these
are the autoselection and parameter files. They are required for inserting, detailing,
and interference checking. The third is the NMFILE, or nonmatching file.
ASFILE (Autoselection File)
The command creates an autoselection file for components you specify in your
INFILE. The autoselection file lists components by generic name, pipe
specification, size, and end type. The command INSERT FITTING uses the
autoselection file to select, scale, and orient fittings inserted into a pipeline.
PAFILE (Parameter File)
The parameter file gives the dimensional data needed to define the
three-dimensional appearance of each component. The commands CREATE
DETAIL, CHECK INTERFERENCE, and CREATE SURFACE use these
parameters with the procedure files to create the three-dimensional appearance of
components.
NMFILE (Nonmatching File)
The INFILE searches the master catalogs for matching items. Items that the
INFILE cannot find go to the NMFILE. You can print this file to see what items
were not found.
You have these options when you examine the contents of the NMFILE:
1. You must determine if the items are there because you made an error in the
INFILE. In this case, correct the error and execute the command GENERATE
PSFILE again. You can do this with the modifier DELETE as shown in the
following example:
#n# GENERATE PSFILE INFILE PLANT.INFILE.D2B
ASFILE PLANT.ASFILE.D2B DELETE PAFILE
PLANT.PAFILE.D2B DELETE NMFILE
PLANT.NMFILE.D2B DELETE
This command indicates that you do not want to retain the original versions of
the ASFILE, PAFILE, and NMFILE files.
2. The items in NMFILE are required in specification D2B. You made no errors in
the INFILE. This means that these items are not in the master catalog. Now you
have three options:
Add the items to the appropriate master catalog (make sure they are sorted).
Rerun GENERATE PSFILE with the modifier DELETE.
Create a new master catalog or catalogs for odd items such as strainers and
traps. Rerun GENERATE PSFILE with the modifier DELETE. Again, make
sure the catalogs are sorted.
Edit the ASFILE and PAFILE produced by the initial processing of the
command to insert the nonmatching items manually. Make sure that you keep
the sorted order, or sort the whole file over again to ensure the correct order.
In general, this is the least desired option. The missing items may be required
by other pipe classes; therefore, you should add them to a master catalog.
The flowchart for GENERATE PSFILE that follows (see Figure 3-1, Flowchart
for GENERATE PSFILE, on page 3-8) shows how the software uses INFILE to
generate the ASFILE, PAFILE, and NMFILE.
The Piping Specification INFILE Used to Produce Specification D2B on
page 3-8 shows the actual INFILE, CVPDC.GENPSF.INFILE.D2B, that was
created to produce the piping specification D2B. Refer to these as you read the
procedure.
In an INFILE, asterisks (*) indicate comment lines, which help to explain the file.
The comments refer to the previous line or lines of input.
Your first impression of an INFILE may well be that it is long (262 lines). You may
also recall, however, that many piping specifications are remarkably similar. The
basic piping components are the same, except for perhaps a different type of valve,
a different grade of steel, or only a different grade of gasket material. This means
that once you have created one INFILE for a contract specification, you can copy
the INFILE into another file. You can then edit the new file to create a second
specification.
First, run GENERATE PSFILE for specification D2B to be sure it works
satisfactorily. Then copy the file CVPDC/GENPSF/INFILE/D2B to
PLANT/INFILE/B3A.
A set of INFILEs that produces other industry specifications is contained in the
cvpdc/genpsf/infile and the cvpd/spec/infile catalogs.
For an example of an INFILE that selects all the components currently in the
master catalogs, see the Portion of Piping Specification INFILE Selecting All
Components in Master Catalogs on page 3-13 . An online version of this INFILE
exists in the text file cvpdc/infile/example.

INFILE Format
INFILE Format
A pipe specification INFILE has several categories of information which you must
specify with required keywords in a required format. The main categories of
information are headers, instruction lines, input records, size tables (for coding
items with more than one size), and lists of items in assembly groups. The first two
categories are required. The last two are optional depending on your piping
specification sheet. The sets of instruction lines and input records in the INFILE
establish the relationship between the components and their parameters in the
master catalog and the components you select for a particular job in the INFILE.
The required information falls into two major categories in the INFILE:
Declaration/classification information
Component selection information
You can think of the INFILE as being divided into two major sections with the
previous major categories of information: the declaration/classification section and
the component selection section. The first section of the input file sets up
correspondences between different codes and defines the rules for the selection
process. The first section includes the header line, code equivalence, and
input/output instruction lines, and a specification designation line.
The second section controls the selection of specific components represented in the
master catalogs to include in your specification files (ASFILE, PAFILE). It
includes selection instruction lines, input records, tables, and assembly lists.
There is no strict rule that your input file be physically divided into these sections.
The important point is that you must declare the component codes for size, type,
end type, and rating; the name of the piping specification; the format of your input
records; and the format of your stock numbers before you select specific
components. These declarations and/or classifications can be interspersed and
redefined throughout the input file, therby applicable to subsequent input records.
As you read the following description of categories of information, refer to the
INFILE in Piping Specification INFILE Used to Produce Specification D2B on
page 3-8.
INFILE Format
Description
Headers
These are the first lines of the INFILE. See the following for a detailed
description.
Code Equivalence
These are required before the input records. Code equivalence instructions
equivalence the codes used for the size, type, rating, and end type of a component
in the master catalogs, autoselection files, pipeline label, and within the input file
itself. Their format is keyword(s) followed by an equal sign and codes; for
example:
CC SIZE CODES = 0D, 0F, 01 ...
The keyword information to the left of the equal sign is required as shown in the
sample input files. The information to the right is described in detail below.
Input/Output
These are required before input records. Input/Output instruction lines define the
format of the input records in your input file, and the stock numbers output to the
specification files.
Selection
These are required before input records. Selection instruction lines instruct the
system to use a catalog, table, or alternate type name.
Input Records
Select the specific components you want in your specification using information
defined in the code equivalence instruction lines.
Tables
Identify sizes for branch and reducing fittings.
Assembly Lists
Define the components in assemblies.
INFILE Format
Please note: The line numbers mentioned next in the discussion of the
INFILE in Piping Specification INFILE Used to Produce Specification D2B on
page 3-8 are for reference only. The line number itself is not part of the format or
the data.
Header Lines
The first line of input in the INFILE defines the header line for the ASFILE that the
command GENERATE PSFILE creates. You should not include this header line
when you use the submodifier APPEND with the GENERATE PSFILE modifiers
ASFILE and PAFILE.
The second line of input defines the header line for the PAFILE that the command
GENERATE PSFILE creates. This line must begin with three blank spaces
followed by STK# so parameter files can be merged later. Although INSERT
FITTING works well with individual autoselection files (ASFILES), CREATE
DETAIL, CHECK INTERFERENCE, and CREATE SURFACE work more
effectively when parameters are combined in one file (PAFILE). There should be
one parameter file which contains all piping specifications and parameter files, but
there may be a number of separate parameter files for different disciplines. The
merging of parameter files is discussed in Chapter 4, Piping Specifications and
SELECT PPARAMETERS. For now, be aware that files cannot be merged
successfully unless there are three blank spaces before STK# in the second header
line. This restriction applies only if you use the CVMAC cvpd/spec/cvm/merge.
The third line of input shows an asterisk (*). Any line with an asterisk is not read
by the GENERATE PSFILE software. The asterisk provides a way to create space
in a file for readability and to add comment lines to explain or identify information.
Blank lines are also allowed, but marking them with an asterisk is recommended.
Correspondence of Field Headers
The field headers in the autoselection file (ASFILE) have the following
correspondences:
TYPE corresponds to component types in the INFILE, for example, ELR4 or
CHKV in lines 26 through 38.
SIZE refers to USERS TEXT CODES in the INFILE and to corresponding
SIZE codes in the master catalogs. Note that the header contains only a single
field for size (with the header SIZE). This is sufficient for fittings involving only
a single size reduction. An INFILE to produce a specification for
double-reducing fittings (that introduce two size changes into the pipeline)
would contain two additional fields, one for branch size and one for new size.
SPEC refers to the specification defined in the INFILE.
INFILE Format
ENDT refers to ENDT TEXT CODES in the INFILE and to corresponding
information in an end-type file (END1, END2) and the master catalogs
(ENDS).
SCLX, SCLY, and SCLZ refer to the two left-most parameters and the ECC
value for the component in the master catalog. The reference is based on the
TYPE, ENDS, RATE, and SIZE.
The GENERATE PSFILE command creates an Insert Fitting Code (IFC#) which
it writes to the ASFILE. The code identifies the component for orientation,
location, end type, and automatic insertion of flanges and gaskets. The Insert
Fitting Code is put under the heading IFC#. The code has four contiguous
columns. The single-character codes, in order, represent a components
classification, end type (for example, flanged), whether the component is a
wafered valve or a relief valve, and whether gaskets should be used.
The letter in the first column of the code indicates the classification of the piping
item. The command GENERATE PSFILE recognizes the following set of types:
The end type appears in the second position of the IFC code as F for flanged ends
or W for weld ends. The letter W in the third position in the code indicates a
wafered component and if the nfigure does not have the property WAFERED then
this property with integer value one will be inserted in the nfigure; then REPORT
PIPE will report this fitting as a wafered fitting; R in the third position indicates a
relief valve; L in the third position indicates an elbowlet. The letter G appears in
the last position of the code if the item is to have gaskets inserted. The gasket code
is referenced only if the item requires flanges.

INFILE Format
NAME is the library part name.
STK# refers to the stock number you define in the INFILE with the instruction
line STK NO = . This same stock number goes into the parameter file under the
header STK#. The field headers in the parameter file (PAFILE) have the
following correspondences:
This same stock number goes into the autoselection file under the header STK#.
PARM refers to the parameter values for the component in the master catalog.
The reference is based on the components TYPE, RATE, ENDS, and SIZE.
The parameters generate the three-dimensional representation of components.
Size Codes
The size equivalence instructions define all the size codes referenced in the
selection section of the file. There are three kinds of size codes defined with the
following instruction lines:
CC SIZE CODES =. USERS TEXT CODES =.
SIZE CODES =.
CC stands for catalog codes. These are the size codes used in the master catalog.
The master catalog can be our version or your adaptation of it. In the CC SIZE
CODES, you must include every size that you want to use in this INFILE for the
particular specification. The size codes identified here must correspond to the size
codes in your master catalog. The correspondence is required so that the items you
input in the selection section can be found in the master catalog.
USERS TEXT CODES are the codes you use in your pipeline labels and the SIZE
field of your autoselection files. The commands INSERT FITTING and ROUTE
PIPE read the size of the pipeline from the label and look up the fitting or pipe in
the autoselection file matching on size (as well as type, spec, and end type). In the
USERS TEXT CODES, you can state how you want your sizes to appear in the
reports that the system generates and in the required input to the label for the
command ROUTE PIPE. The data may be in metric sizes, inch fractions, or other
symbols you want to use. The sizes appear in the autoselection file that this
INFILE generates.
SIZE CODES are the codes that you use in the input records to indicate the size or
size range of piping components you intend to use.
Please note: They cannot include an inch sign, because it would be confused
with the ditto mark.
INFILE Format
In your input records, the ditto means repeat the contents of the corresponding
field in the prior input record. If you define a size field in your stock number, these
codes appear in the stock number generated by the system.
You set up the equivalence between the different types of codes by putting them in
corresponding positions (going from left to right) in the three equivalence
instructions. Define the codes according to these rules. Delimit each item with a
comma. Do not use intervening spaces between characters that are part of the
code, but spaces before or after commas are acceptable. Do not repeat codes; each
code should be unique. With a format of foot/inch/fraction, some character must
fill the gap between the whole number and the fraction. For example, 1 1/2
becomes 1.1/2.
The following excerpt taken from the D2B input file shows the relationship among
the codes:
CC SIZE CODES = 0D, 0F, 01, 1D, 02, 03, 04, 06, 08, 10, 12
(for looking up items in the master catalogs)
USERS TEXT CODES = 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1.1/2,
2,3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
(for the autoselection file and the command ROUTE PIPE)
SIZE CODES = 0D, 0F, 01, 1D, 02, 03, 04, 06,
08,10, 12
(for the stock number and input records)
Only CC SIZE CODES are allowed in the first line. In this line 0D equals 1/2
N.B. (nominal bore), 0F equals 3/4 N.B., and 1D equals 1-1/2 N.B. These CC
values agree with the codes used in the master catalog (see the cvpd.mcat.balv
Table 1-2 on page 1-4 ). For a list of these codes and their values, see the Pipe Size
Codes table that follows.
For a half-inch component, if a match occurs between a component selected by
one of your input records and an entry in the master catalog, the size is shown in
the ASFILE, as 1/2. If you define your stock number so that it contains a size,
then 0D also appears in your stock number for that item. These related codes give
you flexibility in representing sizes you intend to use. You cannot use an inch sign
in these SIZE CODES since it would be confused with a ditto.
INFILE Format
In your input record the ditto means to repeat the information in the corresponding
field of the previous record. Note your SIZE CODES do not have to be the same as
the CC SIZE CODES shown here.
Please note: For fractions, you must use 1.1/4, 1.1/2, and so forth. The
period is the only filler character allowed.
The Pipe Size Codes table indicates that specification D2B calls for pipe in the size
range 1/2 through 12. The CC SIZE CODES in the D2B INFILE indicate that
range. This first part of the file does not make component selection; instead, it lays
down some ground rules. The CC SIZE CODES could, for example, show pipe up
to 24. However, whatever you include for these codes must have a corresponding
code in the USERS TEXT CODES and the SIZE CODES. It is mandatory to have
a one-to-one correspondence in these three equivalence instruction lines.
Table 3-3 Pipe Size Codes

1/8 = 0A
1/4 = 2/8 = 0B
3/8 = 0C
1/2 = 4/8 = 0D
5/8 = 0E
3/4 = 6/8 = 0F
7/8 = 0G

12 = 12
14 = 14
16 = 16
18 = 18
20 = 20
24 = 24
INFILE Format
Note the use of the comma as a delimiter in these codes. The comma is required
after each entry except the last one (for example, the line shown : CC SIZE
CODES =). However, if the line continues to a second or third line, put a comma
at the end of each continuing line (for example, the lines shown: USERS TEXT
CODES =). Do not put a comma at the end of a line if there is no continuation
line.
Type Classifications
Type classifications enable the software to use automatic features to insert
components. The equivalence instructions define the two sets of type codes for
components: Catalog codes from the master catalogs and your own codes.
The first set of codes (for example, CC ELBOW =, CC ANGLE VALVE = )
relates the piping components to their lookup names in the TYPE column of the
master catalogs (see lines 13 through 24). For Piping Specification D2B, elbows
include all items from the master catalog with ELR4, ELR9, ESR9, ESW4, or
ESW9 in the TYPE column. Select only the CC equivalences you need for your
specification. Note that the equivalent instruction for elbowlets (for example,
SELT, WELT), not included in this example, is CC LLET=.
The second set of codes (lines 26 through 41) lets you define your own names for
these same piping components. The keywords (codes) to the left of the equal signs
(for example, ELBOW =, ANGLE VALVE =) are the same as those in the first set
except for the absence of the CC (Catalog Code). There must be a one-to-one
correspondence (same number and same order) between the items in sets one and
two. Although the user-defined names in the INFILE shown in Piping
Specification INFILE Used to Produce Specification D2B on page 3-8 are the
same as the Catalog Code names, you can choose any names you want, subject to
the limitations on the total number of codes and characters-per-code as shown in
the Header Lines table.
Rather than breaking them into two successive lists as shown in the D2B INFILE,
it is recommended that you alternate the lines of CC codes with your own codes;
that way the correspondence is easier to see (for example, CC ELBOW =,
ELBOW =). Like the SIZE CODES, your type codes appear in the autoselection
file and in STOCKNO output.

INFILE Format
Please note:
1. The maximum number of codes listed is based on four character codes. The
maximum number of codes varies with code length.
2. The maximum number of fields is 10, including NGASK.
3. The STK NO is not to exceed the length of the stock number as allowed by the
field width defined in the header line for your ASFILE (specification file).
4. The 132-character limit for an input line may prevent you from using all the
available characters in a single field.
While your type classifications normally are at the top of your input file, they can
be interspersed throughout the input file. However, you must define the type code
equivalences before you reference the type codes in an input record or other
instruction.
There are a few other important type equivalence instructions in the INFILE in
Piping Specification INFILE Used to Produce Specification D2B on page 3-8.
Lines 38 and 39 contain the following entries:
*WAFER = BUTV
RELIEF VALVE = RVAL
(Note that the asterisk indicates that line 38 is a comment line, which is not read
by the system.)
A component can be explicitly classified as either a wafered component or a relief
valve. If the component is explicitly classified as such, then the GENERATE
PSFILE inserts the letter W or R for wafered or relief in the third position of the
IFC code. Wafered components and relief valves are assigned FITTYPES of 11
and 81, respectively (see the Values for the FITTYPE Property table in Appendix
B, Properties in Library Parts). This explicit FITTYPE property is overriden if
the component was given a FITTYPE part property when the component Nfigure
was prepared.
Note that any component type that is explicitly classified as a wafer or relief valve
must also appear in a CC classification line. In the INFILE shown in Piping
Specification INFILE Used to Produce Specification D2B on page 3-8, this is
demonstrated by RVAL which is classified as a relief valve in line 39 and also as
an angle valve in lines 14 and 28.
Line 41 is as follows:
PLHX, UNIO, CPRC, FLAN, BRAN
INFILE Format
Note that the entries FLAN and BRAN do not have corresponding entries in the
CC classification line 23. This is because these component names are specified in
the SELECTION NAME = instruction lines (lines 80, 121, 127, 143).
If you use the SELECTION NAME instruction and use the name in an assembly
list (for example, FLAN and BRAN), the name must be specified in the
GENERAL type equivalence instruction (not the CC GENERAL instruction). Any
SELECTION NAME items not used in an assembly list (for example, CPLG) may
also be included in the GENERAL type equivalent instruction, but that is not
required.
Line 42 indicates four assembly types: vents, drains, and pressure and temperature
connections that are built with an assembly of fittings:
ASSEMBLY = VENT, DRAN, PI, TI
You can create standard assemblies and insert them with one command. At this
point in the INFILE, you must state what you want to call these assemblies. You
define the constituent components later in the INFILE in what is called an
assembly list.
End Types Codes
The identification of end types has great impact on the design process. The naming
conventions you establish in your INFILE for end types affect the automatic
insertion of appropriate flanges and gaskets and the correct selection of end types
to match fittings.
Three equivalence instruction lines are required: CC ENDS =, ENDS =, and
ENDT TEXT CODES = (lines 44 to 49). The codes in these three lines must have
positional correspondence.
The CC ENDS are the standard end types as they appear in the master catalogs.
The ENDS codes are used in your stock numbers, if you define the stock number
to include them. You define these codes. For example, your specification may
require screwed male or female piping components. The catalogs may refer to
these generically as SC. It may be convenient to refer to them as SCF and SCM. To
do this, establish the following relationship:
CC ENDS = SC, SC
ENDS = SCF, SCM
INFILE Format
ENDT TEXT CODES appear in the autoselection file in the ENDT field, in the
end type file, and in your input records in the input file. The system uses these
codes in the autoselection process for checking the compatibility of end types.
You define these codes. In the sample INFILE, F6RJ means Flange Class 600#
Ring Joint Face. However, you may want to define some other code.
The best way to develop the end type equivalences in your INFILE is to start with
the ENDT TEXT CODES. Establish the codes you want for the specification and
then input the CC ENDS and ENDS with a positional correspondence to the
ENDT TEXT CODES. Entries for ENDT TEXT CODES must be unique.
However, you can have duplicate entries in either the CC ENDS or the ENDS
CODES.
End type compatibility checking does not work without an end type file. This file
consists of two columns headed END1 and END2. The following lines are typical
of this file:
END1 END2
F6RJ G6RJ
G6RJ F6RJ
These lines tell the insertion software that the only legal connection for a 600#
ring joint flange is a 600# ring joint gasket and vice versa. You should construct
this file with your own codes, or use CVPDC.ENDTYPES (see the
cvpdc/endtypes figure). If you construct your own file, sort it on the first field.
When there is more than one match for a given end type (for example, BW, WE,
and BE, for BE), a comma is used to separate the entries in the END2 column. The
END1 column must contain each end type you need for end type checking. Entries
in the END 1 column must be unique (no duplication), and the file must be sorted.
You must use the ENDT TEXT CODES in your input records and in your end type
file for end type compatibility checking to work.

INFILE Format
Schedule/Rating Codes
To define the schedule or rating codes for your specification, use the instruction
line CC SCHEDULE/RATING =. This identifies the ratings you want to reference
in the master catalogs. Then use the line SCHEDULE/RATING = to make a
positional correspondence between the CC values and those you want to use in the
input records in your INFILE and have output to the stock numbers in your
specification files.
In the D2B INFILE, the catalog codes are shown in line 53: CC SCHEDULE/
RATING =. The codes particular to this specification are line 55:
SCHEDULE/RATING =. In this example, the codes are identical; however, they
need not be.
Input/Output Definition
You have set up the correspondences between the different codes. Now you are
almost ready to specify the components you want, but first you have to define the
rules for the selection process with two important instruction lines. The first is the
line that defines the format of the input record: INPUT =. The second line defines
the order and content of the stock number: STK NO =. It is possible and may be
desirable to redefine the input record format and the stock number format in the
body of the INFILE.
These input and stock number records relate to the autoselection process.
Component selection has four mandatory requirements. They are the information
in the first four fields of the master catalogs: TYPE, ENDS, RATE, and SIZE.
Normally, if you omit any of these, a search in the master catalogs fails.

Table 3-6 End Type Codes Used in cvpd/mcat and cvpd/diso/mcat
End Type Description
INFILE Format
The exception is RATE. It is possible to omit RATE for a component to which a
rating does not apply.
In addition, any piping schedule creates a match with a blank rating field. For
example, the ELR9 in line 139 of the D2B INFILE has a rating TMP (To Match
Pipe). For a 3 elbow this implies a schedule (rating) of 40 (see line 73 of the D2B
INFILE for 3). A lookup in the master catalog searches for ELR9 with a size of
3, end type BW, and rating 40. A match occurs even though the rating field is
blank in the master catalog. A match would also occur if the master catalog
contained 40 in the rating field.
A ball valve provides an example of a master catalog search. The
CVPD.MCAT.BALV file contains 160 possibilities for selecting a ball valve. Forty
of these ball valves have ring joint facings. Eleven of the ball valves with ring joint
facings are in the 600# class. Only one ball valve with a ring joint facing in the
600# class has 6 N.B.
Input Line
Before you define the input line, type the following mandatory line:
INPUT RECORD FORMAT
Remember that most INFILES are quite similar. If you are editing an INFILE, the
line is already there.
The first four codes are required in the input line (see line 58 in the D2B INFILE).
The order of information in the input record is not important:

SNAME(Selection Name) Your type equates to TYPE in the master catalogs.
SR/TC(Size Range/Table Code)
ENDType of facing or weld type.
RATEFitting rating or pipe schedule.
MATERIALOptional; you can assign a code for material.
Generally the master catalogs have dimensional information which is material
independent. If this is not the case, you may create additional master catalogs for
use in the matching process. The following is an example of an input line:
INPUT = SNAME, SR/TC, END, RATE, MAT
INFILE Format
You have a great deal of flexibility in defining fields for the stock number. To
include additional fields, define them in the input record using any name. For
example, add FIELD6 and use it in the stock number.
Stock Number Line
Before you define the stock number line, the following line must occur (line 59 in
the D2B INFILE):
STOCK NUMBER FORMAT
The stock number may consist of the selection name, first end type and second end
type (for double-ended items), rating, material, delimiter, size, and new size (for
double-sized items). You may select and order these items to be included in your
stock number as you desire. The format indicated in line 64 of the D2B INFILE is
as follows:
STK NO = SNAME,END,NEND,RATE,MAT,DELIM1,SIZE, NSIZE
The DELIM in the stock number format allows you to insert some character or text
string into the stock number. Line 66 of the D2B INFILE shows the following:
DELIM1 = -
This means that a hyphen appears in the stock number generated by the system.
The location of the hyphen is indicated in the previous stock number format. The
maximum number of delimiters allowed in a stock number is nine. They use the
key words DELIM1, DELIM2, ..., DELIM9.
A delimiter such as JOB 8754 is possible if you want to include a job identification
code in the stock number. This is not recommended, however, because such data is
redundantly stored in the database with every piping component. The project name
you can define with the command SELECT PPARAMETERS is a better
alternative.
Stating the Specification
The declaration/classification section ends with a statement of the specification
(see line 68). The line SPECIFICATION = allows the specification number to
appear in the autoselection file under the column SPEC. In the D2B INFILE, the
line is as follows:
SPECIFICATION = D2B
This line puts D2B under SPEC in the autoselection file generated with this
INFILE.
INFILE Format
Summary of Declaration/Classification Section of the
INFILE
The discussion about the INFILE concentrated on the first section of the file. That
section creates the rules for the selection process. In summary, the first section
states the following:
1. The components required in specification D2B
2. What the components are called in the master catalog files
3. What you want to call them and the format you use in selecting specific
components from the master catalogs
4. The format of your stock numbers
5. The specification code to assign to the components
This first section can contain more items then you actually require in specification
D2B. Within the array limits for each type of code, you can show every item in the
master catalog if the sets of instruction lines have the correct correspondence (see
Portion of Piping Specification INFILE Selecting All Components in Master
Catalogs on page 3-13).
It may not matter if you list more items than you need. However, it does matter if
you list fewer items than you require. With fewer items, the result is missing items
in the autoselection and parameter files. The absence of items becomes apparent
when you attempt to insert the missing items. You will discover that you cannot do
so.
Component Selection
The second section of the INFILE, the component selection section, explains the
selection of specific components to create the autoselection and parameter files for
specification D2B. Again, the D2B INFILE is referenced for examples.
The process of component selection consists of telling the system which master
catalog file to access and which items in it you want in specification D2B. To do
this, you must use the input record format that you specified.
INFILE Format
Specifying the Catalog
Before the system can make a selection, it must know which catalog file to
reference. Instruction lines with the catalog file names provide this information.
The information for selecting particular components in the file follows the name,
as shown in the following example:
CATALOG NAME = CVPD.MCAT.PIPE
This says, in effect, to go to the catalog file called cvpd/mcat/pipe (see the D2B
INFILE, line 70). The single quotation marks are required.
Input Records
As shown in the following example, lines that immediately follow the catalog file
name are input records that state what items to select from that file:
PIPE, 0D-1D, PE, 80, BA
This line requests PIPE (selection name) in the size range 0D-1D (1/2 to 1 1/2),
with plain end (PE), with schedule 80 wall thickness, and with a material code of
BA. Remember that the material code can be whatever you want. The material
code does not appear in the master catalogs. An example of the material
specification code is shown in the Material Specification Code table. This table
does not appear on the system and is included only as an example.
Table 3-7 Material Specification Code
AA = ASTM A234 WPB
AB = ASTM A105 GR2
AC = ASTM A106 GRB
AD = ASTM A216 GR WCB
AE = ASTM A193 GR B7
AF = ASTM A194 GR 2H
AG = ASBESTOS RING GASKET
AH = ASTM A181 GR1
AM = ASTM A312 TP321
AO = ASTM A351 CFBC
AP = ASTM A403 WP321
AQ = ASTM A182 F321
BA = ASTM A335 GR P1
BB = ASTM A217 GR WC1
BC = SP. W GASKET 4.6% CHR
BD = ASTM A234 WPI
INFILE Format
The next input record is the following (D2B INFILE, line 73):
PIPE, 02-12, BE, 40, BA
This asks for pipe in the size range 2 to 12 with beveled ends, schedule 40 wall,
and material code BA. A check in the pipe specification shows that these input
records select the pipe required.
Pipe nipples are selected in lines 74 and 75:
NIPL, 0D-1D, PBE, 80, BA
NIPL, 0D-1D, POE#TOE , 80, BA
These nipples are generally used with socket weld and screwed fittings. In the
master catalogs they are listed as 4 long. Note that the nipple in the second line
has two different end types: plain one end (POE) and threaded one end (TOE).
The pound sign (#) is required to separate them. When inserted, this nipple will
not automatically flip to match the end types of adjacent fittings. One way to
rectify this is to enter line 75 a second time, with the end types reversed
(TOE#POE).
The end types specified previously are those given in the instruction lines (48 and
49):
ENDT TEXT CODES = BW, F6RJ, G6RJ, BE, PE, SWF, PBE, POE, TOE, SCF
This specification of end type is important for checking end type compatibility.
The selection process is similar for other components including flanges, valves,
gaskets, and bolts (through line 146 of the sample INFILE). For each, you must
activate the catalog name before you select the component. This is a good reason
for being familiar with the master catalogs.
Selection Name
For convenience, you have the option of using the instruction line SELECTION
NAME =. Line 80 reads as follows:
SELECTION NAME FOR FLANGES = FLAN
Note, the FOR FLANGES text is not required. This is the input record (line 82)
that follows the instruction line:
BE = ASTM A182 GR F1
Table 3-7 Material Specification Code
INFILE Format
WNRJ, 0D-12, F6RJ#BW, 600, BE
This line selects a weld neck ring joint flange (WNRJ), in the size range 1/2 to
12 (0D-12), with a double end type of 600# RJ-flange face and butt weld-flange
hub (F6RJ#BW), 600# rating in material BE (ASTM A182 GR F1). In the
autoselection file, FLAN appears for this item under the column TYPE.
The advantage of using the selection name is this. When you are modeling
pipelines, you can simply key in INSERT FITTING FLAN. In this way you do not
have to remember the type of flange in the specification. You can also apply this
useful feature to branch fittings.
The entry /S in line 83 means that this is the end of the selection name option. If
you omit this /S entry, then all remaining entries in the autoselection file appear as
type FLAN. A subsequent selection name will have the same effect as a /S.
You may use new selection names as required. Lines 121, 127, and 143 are
examples:
SELECTION NAME = CPLG
SELECTION NAME = BRAN
Two more points apply to this section of the INFILE.
Line 113 is the following:
STUD, 0D-12, F6RJ, 600, AE
This line selects stud bolts for the complete range of flange sizes (0D-12) with a
flange end type (F6RJ). You may wonder why bolts have a flange end type. The
reason for this entry is that bolts are reported automatically. Each time the system
sees a pair of flange end type properties, it includes a set of bolts. Hence, the flange
end types are included.
The section BUTT WELD FITTINGS (lines 135-146) includes the entry TMP:
ELR9, 02-12, BW, TMP, BD
ESR9, 02-12, BW, TMP, BD
ELR4, 02-12, BW, TMP, BD
TMP (To Match Pipe) appears in the RATE field, according to the input instruction
line. It indicates to the selection process to select the correct wall thickness for
these items based on the schedule of a predefined pipe of the same size. Since the
INFILE Format
master catalog dimensions of these fittings are independent of wall thickness, a
match is achieved without regard to rating. This keeps the master catalog smaller.
Part Name
You may want to use an autoselection name for a nodal figure that is different than
its name in the master catalog. To change this name, use PARTNAME = <nodal
figure name> followed by /P.
Tables for Branch and Reducing Fittings
In addition to specifying the master catalog file to use, you can also specify tables
to use for branch and reducing fittings. Branching tables are a convenient way of
showing the information in the pipe specification under BRANCHES. These
tables are particularly useful in the INFILE. Line 150 of the INFILE contains this
entry for a branch fitting table:
TABLE = BR
This instruction line names the table for later reference. You can later activate the
table in a manner analogous to the way the master catalog files are activated. A
two-character name is required. Any two alphabetic characters are allowed. The
single quotation marks are required.
Within the table you use single-character codes within the cells. The following
lines (152-154) describe the meaning of the codes used:
*R = SW REDUCING TEE
*S = SOCKOLET
*W = WELDOLET
These lines start with an asterisk, so they are only comment lines. However, these
and other comment lines are useful in reminding you what the codes mean. The R,
S, and W characters are shorthand codes that are meaningful only to you. Use a
different character for each size range you want to reference.
The table in lines 156 through 170 is shown as follows:
Table 3-8
A B C D E F G H I J K
0D A
0F B R
01 C R R
1D D R R R
INFILE Format
The letters A through K across are the branch sizes that correspond to the header
sizes shown in the first field (0D-12). The table is blank above the diagonals
because the cells there indicate an increase in size. The diagonal, of course,
indicates no change in size. Notice that no character code is put under K. The
reason is that the software reads across the line A through K first. If the K were not
there, you would get branch fittings for sizes 1/2 through 10 only. In other
words, the software uses the branch size to get the header size. This is a small but
important point to remember when you develop tables.
The /T following the table (line 170) means that this is the end of table input.
The construction of the table is straightforward. Take the example of a 10 8 branch
(J I). The table code is W. When you use the W in the SIZE field of your input
record instead of a size code, as defined by the SIZE CODES= instruction line, it
indicates a size range going from a header of 3-12 inches to a branch of 2-10
inches. It so happens that for this size range, the master catalog provides a
weldolet.
Reducing Fitting Tables
Line 172 of the INFILE contains this entry for a reducing fitting table:
TABLE = RE
The construction of the table that follows (lines 179-191) is similar to the previous
branch fitting table. The only difference is that some cells under the diagonal are
left blank, because the reduction indicated is not used in practice.

Table 3-8
INFILE Format
The Selection Process Using Tables
When you have completed the table, you are ready to go on to the selection
process (shown in lines 193 through 219 of the INFILE D2B). The method is the
same as that already described for valves and fittings.
1. Specify the catalog name:
CATALOG NAME = CVPD.F.SWFITT
2. Give the selection name, if desired:
3. Indicate the table:
USE TABLE = BR
4. Type the input record, for example:
RTEE, R, SWF, 6000, BE
The record selects from the active catalog, using the size information in the active
table, and outputs the selection name to the autoselection file.
Note that the table code R has replaced the size range in the input record. You can
use a table code in only one input record for each use of the instruction USE
TABLE =.
5. Indicate the end of usage for the table as follows:
/T
6. Activate another catalog and table, and so on.
Assemblies: Input Record
The last portion of the D2B INFILE is for assemblies. The command INSERT
FITTING can put in a group of fittings that represent, for example, a standard vent
assembly. As shown here, the assemblies are ordered in relation to the header size
into which they are inserted. Two steps are required to successfully insert an
assembly:
1. Define the input format (lines 223-225):
DRAN, 0D, DA1,,
DRAN, 0F, DA2,,
DRAN, 01, DA3,,
2. Define the constituent components (lines 240-260). This is discussed in the
Assembly List section.
Line 228 of the input file specifies a selection name VENT:
INFILE Format
VENT, 0D, VA1,,
This vent is for header size 1/2 (0D). The reference number is VA1 (Vent
Assembly 1).
Your company may have standard assemblies categorized and identified with a
code. If so, you may want to make the selection name the same as your standard
code.
This is the input record format for assemblies. It works in essentially the same way
as that specified for component selection earlier in the INFILE (line 58).
Note these two points about the assembly input record:
VA1 coincides with the END field of the component input record. The software,
in fact, uses this entry as a reference for the material list for assemblies. This
section is described next.
For assemblies, the input record has no input for the RATE and MAT fields in
the component input record. You must, therefore, type two commas after VA1
to preserve the five-field status defined in the INPUT = line.
Assembly List
The final step in creating an INFILE is the assembly list section. Begin this section
by typing the following line (240):
ASSEMBLY LIST SECTION
The next step is to list the components in the assembly along with any of the four
modifiers BSIZE, NSIZE, NSPEC, or FACE needed by the command INSERT
FITTING to select the correct components.
Lines 242 to 244 and 248 show part of an assembly list:
DA1, BRAN NIPL FACE PBE GATV NIPL FACE POE#TOE CAPP FACE SCF
DA2, BRAN BSIZE 0D NIPL FACE PBE GATV NIPL FACE POE#TOE CAPP FACE
SCF
DA3, BRAN BSIZE 0D NIPL FACE PBE GATV NIPL FACE POE#TOE CAPP FACE
SCF
VA1, BRAN NIPL FACE PBE GLBV NIPL FACE POE#TOE CAPP FACE SCF
INFILE Format
In the previous line, VA1 is the reference for this line listing materials. The line
indicates that you require a BRAN inserted on the header to accommodate the
vent assembly. The header size is 1/2 N.B. The specification requires a 1/2 vent,
so the modifier BSIZE is not used. The system provides the STEE specified on
line 128 of the INFILE: STEE, 0D-1D, SWF, 6000, BE.
The VA1 assembly is shown in the VA1 Assembly figure.
Figure 3-2 VA1 Assembly
The next item in the assembly is a pipe nipple with both ends plain. Note the use
of the modifier FACE. Next is a socket weld gate valve followed by a pipe nipple,
plain one end (POE), threaded one end (TOE). The last item is a screwed cap.
If you select a line with a 10 N.B., you get the items associated with assembly
VA5 (see lines 232 and 252).
In modeling, you can insert the previous items with this command, assuming that
the line you select is 1/2 N.B.:
#n#INSERT FITTING VENT STEM U: MODEL ent d; MODEL loc d
INFILE Format
The entry /A on line 261 means that this is the end of the assembly list section. The
comment line EOF means that this is the end of the file. This line is not required.
Using GENERATE PSFILE
You now have a complete INFILE ready for use by the command GENERATE
PSFILE.
Autoselection File
The ASFILE figure in Appendix D, File Formats is the autoselection file
PLANT.ASFILE.D2B. As previously mentioned, the command INSERT
FITTING uses this file. Note that the header line is as you defined it in the first line
of the INFILE. Where SELECTION NAME = was used in the INFILE, those
names appear under TYPE. All items are specification D2B, as you would expect.
Single- and double-sized items are clearly shown as are items with two different
end types.
SCLX, SCLY, and SCLZ appear as well. A check of any item shows that these
scales are equal to parameters T1, T2, and ECC in one of the master catalog files.
The column headed IFC# (Insert Fitting Code) was generated by
GENERATE PSFILE. As the name implies, the command INSERT FITTING uses
the code to identify the component type and to determine whether automatic flange
and gasket insertion is required.
The library part name of the fitting appears under the column NAME. In this
instance, it is also the procedure name for the commands CREATE DETAIL and
CHECK INTERFERENCE. The stock number appears with the format that you
defined in the INFILE.
Parameter File
The PAFILE figure in Appendix D, File Formats is the parameter file
PLANT.PAFILE.D2B. This file contains the stock numbers and the parameters
extracted from the master catalog for use by the commands CREATE DETAIL and
CHECK INTERFERENCE.
This command always creates a nonmatching file (NMFILE). In this example, the
nonmatching file is empty because all items defined in the INFILE were found in
the master catalogs.
INFILE Format
Using the INFILE, the command GENERATE PSFILE created a piping
specification (D2B) for the system to use. The process has, in fact, created two
files: the autoselection file (ASFILE) and the parameter file (PAFILE).
On a typical contract, you may use many specifications. To create one from
another, use one of the Operating System editing commands with a field width
selected for files wider than 72 characters.
Additional Features
The following notes provide additional information about creating an INFILE. See
the D2B INFILE for an illustration of most INFILE characteristics. The following
notes describe some features in more detail, as well as describing some features
not included in the D2B INFILE.
1. The following codes have special meaning when used in your input records:
a. TMP (To Match Pipe)
This code can be used instead of a schedule or rating in the appropriate field
of your input record. It is shorthand for telling the system to use the
schedule or rating of the last pipe of the corresponding size selected by a
prior input record. To use TMP, first select pipe of a corresponding size. If
you select more than one type of pipe of the same size, the most recent pipe
is used for TMP.
b.
The double quotation marks (ditto marks) mean to reference and repeat the
information in the corresponding field of the preceding input record.
Because of this usage, you cannot include double quotation marks as an
inch sign in the size field of your input records.
c. ,,
Two commas in an input record without any intervening information define
a null field. Even though you specify the input to include certain optional
fields, you may choose to omit these fields from your stock numbers for
some components by replacing them with the null field.
d. -
The hyphen indicates a range when separating sizes in the size fields. When
used to separate items in other fields (for example, STEE-ELR9), a hyphen
is shorthand for saying the following: generate entries for each of these
items using the other fields in the input record. More than one field can have
multiple items, thereby greatly reducing the number of input records
needed.
2. NGASK at the end of an input record changes the Insert Fitting Code (IFC).
This deactivates the automatic insertion of gaskets. The use of NGASK in an
INFILE Format
input record is analogous to using the modifier NOGASK with INSERT
FITTING.
3. The D2B illustrates the use of the instruction line USE TABLE =. This
references a table within the INFILE. In addition, you can use a table that is in a
separate file.
Reference it with this instruction line: USE STANDARD TABLE = <filename>.
For example, to create a standard reducing table, change line 172 as shown in D2B
INFILE to USE STANDARD TABLE = RE; then move lines 177, 179-189, and
191 to a file named re, for example tbl/_bcd/re. Do not include any comment lines
in the file.
4. Another file option is to use INSERT = <filename>. This transfers the in-file
processing to an existing text file and returns back to the file when processing is
complete. You can use this option with any portion of an INFILE except for the
header line. You cannot nest INSERT = statements, that is, an INSERT =
statement cannot be included in a text file.
5. The first section of the INFILE has equivalence statements, for example CC
ANGLE VALVE=, CC ENDS =, and so on. You can redefine these statements
throughout the INFILE. The redefinition affects subsequent input records.
A benefit of this redefinition is that it allows you to add items to a category that
has already reached its limit. This means, for example, in the case of the
statement CC ANGLE VALVE = that you can initially assign the maximum of
ten names of four characters each. After selecting these components, you can
again state CC ANGLE VALVE = and specify a new set of angle valves.
6. The slash (/) followed by the letters A, S, or T as the first two characters in a
line delimit a special process, such as the use of a table or selection name.
Specifications with Double-Reducing Fittings
The autoselection file for fittings can contain either one or three columns for size
data. The first type of autoselection file (shown in D2B INFILE) can specify
single-reducing fittings, with both the header size and new size (or branch size for
reducing tees or olets) in the SIZE field. The second type of autoselection file can
specify both single- and double-reducing fittings.
The total width of the ASFILE for both types of specifications can be up to 148
columns, and all nonsize headers are the same. The following additional rules
apply to three-size files:
The size fields (SIZE, NSIZ, and BSIZ) can contain a maximum of 18
characters.
The SIZE field can contain only one size.
INFILE Format
SIZE must always be greater than NSIZ.
BSIZ can be greater than, less than, or equal to SIZE.
An INFILE used to generate a three-size autoselection file is shown in the Sample
INFILE for Specification with Three Sizes figure. Note the NSIZ and BSIZ
headers in the header line (line 1). Although the autoselection file can contain 148
characters, the INFILE is limited to 132.
Line 78 defines the stock number to include the three sizes (SIZE, NSIZ, and
BSIZ).
Line 116 designates the branch size table as CV; the name of the table can be up
to 56 characters. Although the two tables in this sample INFILE contain an equal
number of columns and rows, this is not required; you can have more rows than
columns. The CV table is shown in lines 118-139. The rows (as listed down the
side) give the size of the inlet or outlet pipe; the columns (as listed along the top)
give the branch size. This matrix defines the allowable size combinations in the
piping specification. You can produce a specification that includes components
with a larger branch than run size, as is demonstrated in lines 123 and 124 (the Z
and Q codes).
Line 145 designates the reducer size table as RE. The table is shown in lines
147-168. The size of the inlet leg of the fitting comes from the pipe (as specified in
the input record described); the two sizes in the table allow for double reducing;
the branch size is read from the rows and the outlet size from the columns.
Although not shown in this table, the outlet (labeled larger end) could be smaller
than the branch (labeled smaller end).

Several specification (autoselection) files may exist, but they must be sorted. You
should have only one parameter file for fittings covering all the piping specification
files used in building a 3D model. You can have layer-specific parameter files
referenced in your directory file for different disciplines.
Stock numbers must also be sorted. Use separate parameter files for any nozzles
and structures used for the job.
Sort the specification and parameter files, and merge the created parameter files,
using the following CVMAC routine supplied by us:
cvpd/spec/cvm/merge
See Appendix D, File Formats, the CVPD.SPEC.CVM.MERGE figure.
To use the file, issue the following command:
#n# RUN CVMAC CVPD.SPEC.CVM.MERGE
Chapter 4 Piping Specifications and
SELECT PPARAMETERS
This chapter explains the use of the SELECT PPARAMETERS command to select
piping specification-related parameters. It also explains how to specify the unit of
the data contained in your specification and parameter files.
Selecting Parameters
Defining Data Units
One final step is required before you begin modeling. When you have a part
active, type the following command:
#n# SELECT PPARAMETERS PIPING LIST
The system displays the default directory file cvpd/directories containing the
list of default parameters affecting plant design activities, such as routing pipes,
inserting fittings, defining projects, and producing detailed drawings:

LAYER/160-200 CVAEC.HVAC.DATA.PARAMETERS
Please note: This file contains lines describing HVAC layering. If you are
doing only piping work, you can remove these lines.
You can use this list to set the parameters for the current part. Three modifiers
relate directly to piping specifications: DRFILE, PAFILE, and BOLT. Use the
DRFILE modifier to specify an active directory file. The default directory file
(DRFILE) cvpd/directories references the specification files to use for
modeling and reporting. To see the format of the file, use one of the editors
available in the Operating System.
Next to the entry SPEC are the words cvpd/m/spec/. This is the name of a catalog
that contains single-specification files. You must change the entry cvpd/m/spec/ to
the catalog that contains your set of specification files. In this case, plant/asfile.
Now the system is ready to use your specification (autoselection) files. The
following command shows an example of this use:
#n# ROUTE PIPE LABEL O-8240-10-D2B
The command reads the spec, D2B, in the label and appends it to the spec catalog
plant/asfile. Then it goes to the file plant/asfile/d2b for data on the specified pipe.
By simply switching the active directory file you can switch from sets of
specification files that support different standards. For example, the directory file
cvpd/diso/directory would reference specification files created from the
DIN standard master catalogs (cvpd/diso/mcat).
The file cvpd/directories has the entry ENDT with
cvpd/m/spec/endtypes. If you have made an end type file as discussed in,
Chapter 3, Piping Specificationsthen enter it here to replace
cvpd/m/spec/endtypes. You may also want to change the layer ranges and
names of the nozzle and structural parameter files.
Another approach to the previous procedure is to create your own directory file
(for example, plant/drfile) with perhaps a contract number identification. In
doing this, change the default in SELECT PPARAMETERS
(cvpd/directories) to the name of your directory file (in this case,
plant/drfile). The system now uses your directory file. At the same time,
activate your default parameter file with the command SELECT PPARAMETERS
PAFILE <pafilename>.
This file should contain any items not covered by the other parameter files
assigned to specific layer ranges in the DRFILE.
Specification D2B calls for stud bolts; therefore, no change in
SELECT PPARAMETERS is required because BOLT STUD is the default. If
your specification used machine bolts from the catalog file
cvpd/mcat/machbolt or if a selection name of BOLT was used for the machine
bolts, then you would change the default for bolts to BOLT.
Defining Data Units
Defining Data Units
You can define units in activating a part.
Specifying units other than inches can be useful in making parts for your
equipment and structure libraries, but note that the parts in the fitting library must
be modeled in inch units to be compatible with the INSERT FITTING command.
The data in master catalog, specification (autoselection), and parameter files can be
defined in other units. If you want other units, at the operating system level use the
editor to insert the UNITS= line before the first line of the autoselection and
parameter files. The format of the units line is UNITS=XX; where XX is one of the
standard part units (MM, CM, IN, FT, M, KM, and MI). The line is left justified.
When you input the UNITS line, do not use any spaces (between the keyword and
the equal sign, between the equal sign and the part unit, or between the part unit
and the Return).
UNITS=MM
With this unit line, all values in the file read as millimeters.

The following is a partial listing of the standard dimensional data included in the
CVPD master catalogs. The catalogs conform to the commonly used ANSI
(American National Standards Institute) standard pipes and fittings plus a range of
manufacturers pipes and fittings. The dimensional data included in the master
catalog files supports the DIN/ISO (German National and International Standards
Organization). Plumbing standards are not documented.

Appendix B Properties in Library Parts
The following is a list of properties used in the library of fittings parts:
The following descriptions of properties and part properties apply only to those
inserted into library parts. In addition, the command INSERT FITTING adds other
properties that influence pipeline tracing.

Part Properties
COMPNAME
A text-valued property that provides the name used by REPORT PIPE. The name
may match the last level of the NAME column in the autoselection file; however,
this match is not mandatory.
FITTYPE
An integer-valued property used by GENERATE ISOMETRIC and DIMENSION
ISOMETRIC for rescaling and dimensioning and by
REPORT PIPE for reporting. The nodal figures in the CVPD libraries were
prepared with this property.
NOBREAK
A null-valued property assigned to branching fittings that do not affect the cut
length of a pipe, for example, weldolets and sockolets. The appropriate nodal
figures in the CVPD.F library were prepared with this property.
PNAME
A text-valued property that gives the name of the components procedure file. You
must insert this property on all components that require appearance graphics or
clearance checking unless the names of the components library part and
procedure file are the same. (Gaskets do not require either). There are no PNAME
properties on any CVPD.F parts.
STOCKNO
A text-valued property with a random number of periods or other filler characters.
The number of characters is a function of the stock number format you establish in
the INFILE. The software can adjust the number of characters when fitting
insertion occurs. INSERT FITTING assigns the actual STOCKNO when you
insert the fitting. The command ROUTE PIPE also automatically inserts the
STOCKNO.
Properties
Properties
BRANCH
A null-valued property associated with the branch nodal line of a branch fitting.
The command REPORT PIPE uses this property to distinguish the main line from
the branch line.
CONNECTOR
A null-valued property assigned to the incoming Cnode of all fittings. This
property must exist; otherwise, REPORT PIPE ignores the fitting.
ENDTYPE
A text-valued property of four periods or other filler characters. This property is
required for end type compatibility checking and you must insert on all terminal
fitting Cnodes (not on the central Cnode of tees and crosses or the origin Cnode of
olets). INSERT FITTING assigns the actual value when you insert the fitting. The
value is taken from the ENDT field of the autoselection file.
The first character must be F for flanges and G for gaskets. If weld dots are to be
drawn automatically in an isometric, one of the other characters must be a W.
GASKET
A null-valued property associated with the internal nodal line that identifies the
component as a gasket. INSERT FITTING normally inserts gaskets automatically.
INTERNAL
A null-valued property assigned to the internal nodal lines of instream fittings.
This property indicates that the nodal line is not a piece of pipe.
ITEMNO
A null-valued property associated with valves. You insert this property on the
Tnode associated with the fittings CONNECTOR Cnode. It allows the ITEM NO
field to be included in the REPORT PIPE output.
Properties
B-4 Piping Specification User Guide
NPS
(New Pipe Size) A text-valued property with six filler characters such as periods.
You insert this property on both Cnodes in reducing fittings. INSERT FITTING
assigns that value when the fitting is inserted.
PLEN
(Parametric Length) is an integer-valued property with two values (inserted with a
space between them) that indicates which parameters to use from a list (for
example, PLEN values of 5 and 2 point to the fifth and second parameters). PLEN
is placed on curved Nlines of library parts that are to be scaled parametrically. The
two values are used to get the x- and y- coordinates of the outlet Cnode, relative to
the inlet Cnode, in an xy- plane. See Appendix F, Creating Parametric Fittings
for an example.
PSCL
(Parametric Scale) is an integer-valued property used on library parts to be
inserted parametrically. Placed on the Cnodes of the part, its values indicate flow
direction: 1 on the inlet Cnode, 2 on the outlet Cnode, 3 on the branch outlet (if
more than one branch, only the one on the positive y-axis). Placed on Nlines of the
part, it points to a position in a list of parameters in the Fitting Parameter File (for
example, 5 points to the fifth parameter in the list). If the Nline has more than one
segment, the PSCL property has a value for each segment (listed in the order of
flow). The Nline is stretched by the value of PSCL. See Appendix F, Creating
Parametric Fittings for an example.
SPEC
A text-valued property that stores a pipeline specification code. It is inserted on
the downstream connect node of components when you use the NSPEC (new
specification) modifier with INSERT FITTING.
The FITTYPE property should use the following values. Fittings are categorized
according to the following listing. Select from the appropriate range when you
prepare new figures. Insert the FITTYPE number.

Shapes
C-2 Piping Specification User Guide
Note the following rules when defining shapes:
Optional dimensional keywords default to information that is provided. For
example, D2 defaults to D or D1. CONE and ECON are exceptions to this
ruleD2 defaults to 0.
WYDR can be defined with RAD and ANG only if both sides of the WYDR
are equal.
ECT1 and ERT1 shapes must have an ANG (angle) of 90 degrees.
The ANG or RAD keyword can be used to define nonnodal line following
elbows; ANG or RAD overrides all Nline information.
ANG must be greater than 0 degrees, but less than or equal to 360 degrees.
ANG defaults to 90 degrees.
RAD defaults to 0 procedure file units.
When defining a CTEE:
The branch length (L2) is centered on the main length (L1). L2 defaults to
(L1)/2.
The outlet diameter (D2) and branch diameter (D3) default to the inlet
diameter (D1).
Saddles are created at the intersection of any two faceted shapes. For example,
at the intersection of two cylinders in a piping fitting or duct junction.
When defining general transitions (GRRT, GRTR, and GTRN):
Offsets are defined by the Nline of the Nfigure or by the procedure file.
YOFF, ZOFF, and L are read from the Nfigure unless one of the values is
specified in the procedure file. If any of the values are specified, the other
values must be specified (or default to 0).
If the PATH keyword is used, YOFF, ZOFF, and L values are ignored.
Shapes
The following table lists all the supported procedure file shapes and their
corresponding keywords. The keywords with a larger, bold type are required; the
others are optional. This table also identifies which shapes can follow a nodal line
(Nline) path.

Appendix E DIN/ISO Standard Files
The DIN/ISO standard files are in the cvpd/diso catalog. These files closely
parallel the standard cvpd files in both structure and function. The DIN/ISO master
catalogs use the standard cvpd/f library parts for their graphic representations.
In order to begin modeling with metric fittings, you must first create an
autoselection or ASFILE. The easiest way to do this is to copy and edit the file
cvpd/diso/infile/long. First process it using the GENERATE PSFILE command.
Then sort the ASFILE and merge and sort the individual parameter files using the
cvpd/diso/cvm/merge execute file. The final step is to modify the
cvpd/diso/directories file to include your ASFILE and parameter file names and
layering conventions.
See the DIN/ISO Files table for a listing and a brief description of the files
contained in the cvpd/diso catalog.
DIN/ISO Files
Please note: Files in cvpd/iso, the DIN/ISO master catalog (as shipped with
the product) are located in the /usr/apl/cadds/data/aec/2152 directory.
Consult your system administrator for the location of data/aec/2152 on your
system.

Appendix F Creating Parametric Fittings
Parametric fittings are scaled according to a list of parameters referenced in a
parameter file. This appendix describes parametric fittings and how they are made.

The Parameter File for Parametric Fittings
Parametric Fittings
F-2 Piping Specification User Guide
Parametric Fittings
Standard fittings (like those in the CVPD.F catalog) are scaled uniformly
according to the dimensions from the x-scale and y-scale columns in the
autoselection file. The width (z-scale), by default, is equal to the height (y-scale).
Parametric fittings are scaled according to a list of parameters referenced in a
parameter file (CREATE DETAIL produces detail graphics in a similar way). This
makes it possible, for example, to model fittings that have unequal inlet and outlet
legs.
Fittings to be inserted parametrically are modeled the same as regular fittings but
are prepared with additional properties:
Inlet Cnodes (upstream) have the property PSCL with a value of 1.
Outlet Cnodes (downstream) have the property PSCL with a value of 2.
The designated inlet and outlet Cnodes are those that INSERT FITTING hooks
into the pipeline.
Branch outlets (only one per fitting) have the property PSCL with a value of 3.
(When there is more than one, the PSCL property is placed on the +Y branch
that INSERT FITTING orients in the stem direction.)
Each dimensioned internal Nline has the property PSCL with a single integer
value for a straight Nline or multiple integer values for a multisegmented Nline
(listed in order of the direction of flow). These values point to positions in the
list of parameters for that component (for example, a PSCL value of 3 points to
the third number). The Nline is stretched by the value of PSCL.
Each curved Nline has the property PLEN with two values (inserted with a
space between them) indicating which parameters to use from a list (for
example, PLEN values of 5 and 2 point to the fifth and second parameters). The
two values are used to get the x- and y- coordinates of the outlet Cnode, relative
to the inlet Cnode, in an xy- plane. INSERT FITTING places the elbow origin
at the corner and orients the elbow so that the Cnodes lie on the pipe. The legs
are scaled to equal the x- and y- parameters; this determines the final location
of the Cnodes on the pipe (the path of the Nline is adjusted accordingly).
The modeling of parametric fittings is illustrated in the following figures. Figure
F-1 shows the library symbol. Figure F-2 annotates the part, showing where each
property is located. Figure F-3 shows the detail representation and the procedure
that CREATE DETAIL uses to detail the part.

Figure F-1 Example Parametric Fitting with Annotation
Parametric Fittings
Figure F-2 Graphics and Properties for Example Parametric Fitting
Parametric Fittings
Figure F-3 Detail Representation for Example Parametric Fitting
Note in the Example Parametric Fitting with Annotation figure, the center (origin)
Cnode is blanked. As shown in the Graphics and Properties for Example
Parametric Fitting figure, the PSCL properties on the Cnodes (values of 1 on the
inlet Cnode, 2 on the outlet Cnode, and 3 on the branch Cnode) tell INSERT
FITTING how to orient and hook the component into the pipeline.
The PSCL values of 4 and 1 on the two straight Nlines determine their scaling,
using the fourth and first numbers, respectively, from the list of parameters (for
example, if the fourth number were 10 and the first number were 1, the inlet leg of
the wireframe graphic would be ten times as long as the outlet leg).
The PLEN values of 5 and 2 on the curved Nline place the branch Cnode, using the
fifth and second numbers, respectively, from the list of parameters. When the
fitting is inserted, the path of the Nline is adjusted so that it ends at that point (for
Parametric Fittings
example, if the fifth and second numbers were 4 and 2, the branch Cnode would be
located at Xy4Y2, relative to the origin Cnode).
Note that the MODEL and ISO views in the Graphics and Properties for Example
Parametric Fitting figure are identical; since parametric scaling only affects
Nlines, not model graphics, model graphics are omitted from most of the
plumbing fittings.
The procedure defined in the Detail Representation for Example Parametric
Fitting figure uses the MIT1 shape to represent the curved Nline, the first Nline
modeled in the library part. The mitre starts at the origin (0,0) and follows the path
of the Nline. (When the fitting was inserted, the end point of the path was
determined by the parameters T5 and T2, corresponding to the PLEN values of 5
and 2). Parameter T7 (BSIZE) determines the diameter of the mitre.
Please note: When the procedure includes a shape that must follow an Nline
path, that shape is assigned to the first Nline created in the part. This means that
when you construct the part, you must create this Nline first. Only one such Nline
can be detailed, and the shape defined for it must be the first shape in the
procedure file.
T3 (the size of the inlet pipe) and T8 scale the inlet cylinder, and T6 (NSIZE) and
T9 scale the outlet cylinder. (These cylinders, which represent sockets, extend
beyond the Nline.) The diameters of the cone between the inlet and outlet Cnodes
are determined by T3 and T6 (SIZE and NSIZ) and its length by T4 + T1 (the
length of the two Nlines scaled by the PSCL values of 4 and 1).
Fittings to be inserted parametrically contain a P in the ECC column of the master
catalog. The GENERATE PSFILE command puts this P in the SCLZ column of
the specification file (ASFILE). The P tells INSERT FITTING to use a parameter
file (rather than the SCLX and SCLY values) for scaling.
INSERT FITTING can access the same parameter file that is used by CREATE
DETAIL; however, for efficiency, you may want to break out the entries for
parametric wireframe fittings into a separate parameter file (so that the INSERT
FITTING command will not have to search the larger fitting parameter file to scale
a parametric fitting). To prepare this file, extract the parametric fittings from your
specification files (items with P in the SCLZ column). Then, compare this file with
the composite fitting parameter file, using stock number as the key, and copy the
parameters for the matched items from the parameter file into the file you extracted
from the ASFILE. Reference this new parametric fitting parameter file as the PFIT
file in your DRFILE. You should also delete the matching lines from the composite
parameter file.
Please note: You may have both a PFIT file and parameter files assigned to
layer ranges referenced in your DRFILE. INSERT FITTING will use the PFIT file
if it exists but will use the regular fitting parameter files assigned to layer ranges if
it does not. (By contrast, the commands CREATE DETAIL, CHECK
INTERFERENCE, and CREATE SURFACE can only use the layer-range
parameter files.)
