How would we place an insulating flange kit at specified flanged joints?
I need a solution for this as well. I can add an Iso Message but need for this item to generate in the Iso BOM and the Report Creator/BOM.
@PLANToftheAPES could you please provide some snapshot for better understanding?
You could create a duplicate component of the gasket and change the Description to read what is needed for the BOM. Then when you are modeling you could use the Substitute Part to change the component from gasket to insulating kit when needed.
@DACOMA3 please create the new component in fastner categroy as insulating kit.you cant take collar or backing ring for example.after creating the compnent modfiy the flange joint set up and in spec filter tick the backing pr collar which you have taken in component creation.you will get the insulting kit in your BOM.
Since it's not very common, we just do Add Custom Part --> Part Type: Inline Instrument --> Shape browser --> Advanced Shape Options... --> Fasteners --> Collar
We then set the type in content iso symbol definition in the items properties along with changing the long description.
It works, it doesn't have an impact on dimensions, and it'll show up in the BOM / on the iso.
One of these days we'll get around to adding it to the specs.
I created a insulating gasket and new boltset with longer length, but when I used in the model it did not pick-up the longer bolt length. Need help to get longer bolt length on insulating gasket connection.
I am not sure if this procedure is correct:
1. created new insulating gasket by copying similar normal gasket, change description and thickness
2 .created new boltset by copying similar boltset and change description, make the length longer and even increased the flange thickness
3. add to the spec
4. use in the model and substitute part to insulating gasket, this works as expected
5. substitute part to the newly created boltset but the length did not change.
Appreciate if someone can help.
Hi,
I'm still working on it to give the right stud length. For now I manual change the Length under Part Geometry Property. It not perfect solution but its a good work around for now.
I will let you know if i find better solution.
