Component Prototype

Description

Valve

Component

 

Valve component is a component of the petrochemical domain. This component builds a three-dimensional Valve. Valve is build out of three different models (Tapped, wheel and tube). The component bases on the Geometry3dsComponent to load the geometry of the component into the scene (see Geometry3dsComponent). In order to build the Valve component, the following parameters are needed: offset, scale, tappedVisible, wheelVisible, tubeVisible and typeOfValve (See Figure Valve)

In-slots

Name

Type

Description

visible

boolean

The component is shown when true and hidden when false.

transformation

matrix

This transformation matrix is applied to the component geometry when shown

openingPercentage

double

This value depicts to the percentage of opening of the tapped (0 = completely closed; 100 = completely open)

temperature

double

Value in the input of the valve

pressure

double

Value in the input of the valve

Out-slots

Name

Type

Description

visible

boolean

The in-slot is propagated to the out-slot

transformation

matrix

This transformation matrix corresponds to the output transformation, which combines input transformation with the offset.

openingPercentage

double

Emits the same value of the input

temperature

double

Value in the output of the valve

pressure

double

Value in the output of the valve

id

integer3

Id of the model that can change at run time (a translation of the tapped and a rotation of the wheel)

nodeTransformation

matrix

Transformation matrix of the model that can change at run time (tapped or wheel)

Properties

Name

Type

Description

iconFileName*

string

The filename of the icon shown for the component in the authoring environment.

offset

matrix

The offset transformation matrix between the transformation given by the in-slot and the geometry model

scale

double

scales the component in the three axis.

tappedVisible

boolean

Shows the model tapped when true and hides when false.

wheelVisible

boolean

Shows the model wheel when true and hides when false.

tubeVisible

boolean

Shows the model tube when true and hides when false.

typeOfValve

integer

Selects the type of valve: (see Figures)

  1. Gate Valve
  2. Adjustable Gate Valve
  3. Spherical Valve

Conical Valve
