2.3.7.2.8.  Key "PipingConnPoint" - NX routing function

In NX, fitting connections are represented by small arrows that indicate the direction of flow. This representation can be generated from the PARTsolutions connection points.

PSOL connection points -> NX fitting ports

PSOL connection points -> NX fitting ports

License:

To be able to use the NX routing function with PARTsolutions, an "NX Routing Electrical" license must be available.

Activation:

Configuration file $CADENAS_SETUP/ifugnx.cfg -> Block [CreationOptions(is3d):include(CreationOptions)]-> Key PipingConnPoint

Set the value to 1.

PipingConnPoint=1

With activated key at each export on each connection point a "Fitting Port Feature" is generated.

In addition, the following key must be activated, which is the case by default (for more information, see Section 5.12.13.6, “Use parts in NX ” in eCATALOGsolutions - Manual ).

  • hasRoutingData (by default on)

The flow direction results from the Z-axis of the connection point (visualization via the setting option Connection point coordinate system )

The fitting connections are generated on layer 32 and are visible by default (according to the setting in ifugnx.cfg -> key layer_11-> value ports:32:2).
