'O( I! (OR)S
Each flanged component has a %*R array which points to a %O*!SE!. he boltset contains information for each of the bolt holes in the flange. !hen a flanged "oint is encountered during isometric production PDMS uses the information stored in the boltset to determine the amount of bolt length and bolt diameter re#uired for each hole of each component. he preferred bolt type for the component is also stored in the boltset. $nce PDMS has determined the bolt length for each of the components% the bolt types are e&amined and the most superior type is fi&ed for the "oint. his type is then referenced in the bolt specification to determine the bolt re#uired from the corresponding %O*!RE in the spec. he single bolt 'S%O*( determined from the specification is then referenced to determine what 'if any( additional length's( needs to be added to the accumulated fitting lengths. he total accumulated length is then chec)ed against the lengths held in the length table for the bolt and a final re#uired length established according to the following rules:* +f there is an e&act match with the calculated length then use that length. +f there is a length within ,-mm of the calculated length then use that length $therwise use the ne&t length above the accumulated length. he item code to be shown on the isometric is then e&tracted from the corresponding .D/ in the length table.

/ built in priority system will ensure that a priority 2 %!-PE will ta)e precedence over a priority < and a priority - %!-PE will ta)e precedence over both priority 2 and priority <. =enerally% the bolt type is governed by the piping specification but the length calculation method is the same for all types. 7or this reason most %!SEs have the bolt type set to %O*! for each hole and the bolt specification default will determine whether a studbolt or he& head bolt is to be used. 7or tapped holes% where a specific bolt type is re#uired% the type is set to !AP and a separate entry is made in the bolt specification to override the default. +n principal any hole with a %!-PE other than %O*! will cause PDMS to use that other bolt. any of the other types may be used for a component to cause an override to occur. Since each hole is handled independently it is possible to mi& %!-PEs within the set. 7or e&ample% a 0utterfly valve may re#uire through bolts for some holes% and he& head screws for the rest. hus%
