Part Builder VI

By setting the parameters, we are instructing the part how it determines size. We can assign values that are constant, calculated by an expression, or selected from a list. If you expand the Model Parameters section on Content Builder, we can observe a list of parameters that must be configured in order to get our part working.

Junction structures have certain predefined parameters that must be understood. Let's look at some common parameters:

Overall Dimensions:

• Structure height = floor thickness + rim to sump height i.e. SBSH = FTh + SRS.
• Structure width = inner width + (2 * wall thickness) i.e. SBSW = SIW + (2 * WTh).
• Structure length = inner length + (2 * wall thickness) i.e. SBSL = SIL + (2 * WTh).
• Structure diameter = inner diameter + (2 * wall thickness) i.e SBSD = SID + (2 * WTh).

Thicknesses:

• Wall thickness = WTh
• Floor thickness = FTh
• Slab Thickness, thickness for top of lower tier of structure = SSTh

Frame:

• Frame height = SFH
• Frame width = SFW
• Frame length = SFL
• Frame diameter = SFD

Pipe Clearance Control:

• Vertical pipe clearance, clearance between top of structure and top of pipe = SVPC.
• Barrell pipe clearance, clearance between top lower tier of a structure and top of pipe = SBPC.

Miscellaneous:

• Cone height, conical riser section height = SCH
