Hi, I am a software developer and not a Plant 3D user myself, so sorry in advance if I don't "speak the language." We're testing out using a combination of Python scripts and peqx files to template-ize equipment. We're following information from David Wolf's AU lecture and associated blog posts. We've got the scripts registered, we can select our equipment, see preview images, input parameters, that all works. The piece we haven't figured out is nozzles.
My limited understanding is that nozzles are part of the equipment itself and are required to connect with piping. Nozzles even appear in sample peqx files' inner EquipmentType.xml file (Nozzles tag, NozzleInfo tag, etc.). What we don't understand is how to configure this, or integrate it with the Python.
My assumption is that in the Python I should be programming somewhere that the Nozzle attaches to the equipment - maybe mention the name of the nozzle from the EquipmentType.xml file (such as Suction or Discharge) and define a position in 3D space. But I haven't found any documentation on how to do this.
Is there anything else we're supposed to do with Nozzles apart from adding entries to EquipmentType.xml? How can we template-ize them so that the nozzles are the same whenever we add our custom equipment?
