It is possible to show the bolts and nuts for the flange connection?

[wuming250]

I just wonder if the 2014 verson can show the bolts and nuts for the flange connection? 

that make the model more realistic.

No has not been added in AutoCAD Plant 3D 2014. This is by design for performance reasons.

[JohnHolder]

you could model the flanges with bolts and nuts then create a catalog with those in it.. but it would most likely affect performance.

I like more realistic models aswell.  I have modeled up all my valves and pumps to be as realistic as possible, but I draw the line at flanges heh.

There is a noticeable performance degradation working with the valves and pumps.

Sometimes we need make check, coud we take out bolts  and it will be great just insert realistic bolts and make check, and than delete it and continue design. I've made it in one programm for piping (LiNear - made in German)

Realistic is like cosmetic, in my opinion Autodesk won't address this now as they have many other priority.

You Can

but you have to use Cadworx 2014

Hi,

 What are the settings to be done to show the bolt as Stud bolts . now it is being shown as Mechanical bolt

[KenFauver]

Do you have both Stud and Mechanical bolts defined in the spec? If so there is probably some additional configuration needing to happen.

[muralikumar.v]

No, in Material Database only one bolt specification is defined . and when i bring it in model it shows in screen as Mechanical bolt

[KenFauver]

Can you email me the model and the pipe spec in questions?

Also, what version of Plant 3D and is this Imperial , Metric or Mixed Metric.

You'd have to use CADWorx, not Plant3D

I HAVE CADWORX 2015 AND I SHOW FLANGE WITHOUT BULTE AND NUT EVEN PIPE IS SOLD NOT HOLLOW
