Flanges¶
Flanges are very frequently used elements for the detachable connection of pipeline parts or for the detachable insertion of fittings. Flanges are also used to seal off pipelines.
The most common flange types used in mechanical engineering and plant construction can be called up directly with ELITECAD using their DIN standard and then inserted into the construction.
Create flange¶
 |
Standard parts toolbar |
| ME-Objects menu > Standard parts > Flange |
With a click on the function TOOLS > STANDARD PARTS > CREATE FLANGE in the toolbar or by selecting ME-OBJECTS > STANDARD PARTS > FLANGE in the menu bar, the settings of the last flange drawn are active in the parameter window and the standard part can be set immediately.
Flanges property bar¶
The property bar is visible as soon as an existing flange is selected for editing. Clicking on the flange activates the property bar and the main values of the flange can be manipulated. Using the icon 
, the associated parameter window opens and all available values of the flange can be modified.

Depiction (see General parameters)
Flange parameters¶
Decide whether the flange should be created in 2D or 3D.
Tip
Specify the nominal diameter value first and then the values for the other selection parameters. The selection windows will only offer values that are available to the selected standard.
The completed dialog is confirmed with 
. This means that the flange is dynamically active at the cursor for positioning in the drawing. The reference point is the intersection of the pipe centre axis with the sealing surface of the flange.
The function is ended when it is positioned within the construction. The function can be opened repeatedly for other identical flanges. The last input parameters are retained and are suggested the next time it is opened.
