    04. 2 Flanges are Shown as a Single Flange

    Applies To
    Product(s): AutoPIPE,
    Version(s): ALL
    Environment: N/A
    Area: Graphics
    Subarea:
    Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group

    Problem:

    When inserting two flanges at the same point, model graphics looks as if there is only one flange modeled (see left image) instead of two flanges (see right image).  

    Solution:

     AutoPIPE flanges are modeled as a single point graphic. Sometimes when adding the 2nd flange, is is graphically shown over the first flange give the appearance of only a single flange. However, as you can see in both images above, there are 2 flanges modeled at the same point.

    The CAE development team is working on a new enhancement (CAE-CR-941) to model flanges as 2 points components. Until such time, as long as there are 2 flanges correctly located to account for the correct weight, ignore the graphics. Both images above would be correct.
