Define the Physical Part Type of a Component
 |
This task shows you how to define the physical part type of a component. | |
 |
When you create a component with a
specified function type you are defining a functional component in a 2D
diagram. When you assign a physical part type you are associating a
2D component to a 3D physical part; one that assumes the physical
characteristics and properties used in a 3D environment.
When you define the physical part type of a component you are assigning it a part type and catalog part name based on the items mapped in Function Physical Mapping tables found in both the Design Rules and in the Specification. In the following scenario a Blocking Valve (function) was placed in free space to illustrate the various part types available under that function class. See Select the Physical Part Name of a Component for applying the part number. Although this function - and associated functions - is described (below) using the Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams application, it operates identically in the HVAC, Tubing, Waveguide and Electrical Diagrams applications. |

1. | Click the Part Selection
button
and select the component in the document. |
| 2. | The Part Selection dialog box opens
and displays the available Part Types and Catalog Part Names.
|
|
| 3. | Select the desired part type from the Part Type column. If you know the correct name for the component, select it from the choices in the Catalog Part Name column. | |
| 4. | Click OK when finished. | |
