Dear all,

to share for others:

Recently I have generated a custom standard part using the -BMHARDWARE command as documented in the docs.

Defining the "B: Center to end distance" I ran into some trouble. I figured that the value B equal the distance OP (red), whereas the elbow goes MP along the radius R. For an elbow DIN2605 type 3 the radius equals 1,5xOuterDiameter, which in the case of DN1200x12,5 is da1220.

A functional sample may thus read as below and may be transformed into a part using -BMHARDWARE option create Custom.

NAME: "Bogen Typ 3 25 Grad"

CATEGORY: "Elbow"

PATH: "Piping;Elbows"

STANDARD: "DIN"

DESCRIPTION: "DIN 2605 Bogen Typ 3 auf 25 Grad gekürzt"
EXPOSED_PARAMETERS: "PartNumber" "Size" "OuterDiameter" "Thickness" "Schedule"

INITIAL_VALUE: "DN 1200 x 12.5"

LENGTH_MEASUREMENT_TYPE_PARAMETERS: "OuterDiameter" "Thickness"

MATERIAL: "Steel"
"PartNumber"          "Size"      "UNIT"     "OuterDiameter"     "Thickness"     "Schedule"     "B"           "DEG"

"DN 1200 x 12.5"      "DN 1200"   "MM"        1220                12.5           ""             405.70        25.0
