The Orings can be placed also on cylindrical parts, drop the tool on an circular edge or face and the Orings inherits the shaft dimensions.

‍

Components

The family of Orings can be selected using the two tabs.

You can change the type of Orings clicking of the option buttons placed under the tabs.

‍

Parameters

• Standard Name - Using this dialog box, the user can select the correct rule.
• Type - This combo box contains all the values related to the selected rule.
• Diam. Shaft/Hole - This combo box contains all the diameter values related to the selected rule. When the user drags a component over on circle edge (for example, if the user drags a Orings over a shaft), a check control named Auto will be shown. Using this toggle control, it’s possible that the Orings inherits the shaft dimensions.
• Diam. Torus - Using this combo box, the user could select the torus diameter related to the rule.
• Hollow Mode - This box lets you choose between the hollow mode: none, active, only hollow (in this case the oring is not positioned). When the user activates the hollow, the check control of the Chamfer is activated to do so on the edge of the groove.
• Material - Using this combo box, the user could select the code of the material related to the component.

The data structure behind Oring

Every component defined in the User Interface has behind him some data files which contain properties and parameters related to the component itself. These files are placed in the folder of the standard rule. The main files associated to the family of components are the followings: ORing.ini and OringN.UNI

Every numbered section is related to an icon of the component in the User Interface, and every record contains these fields:

• DataFile -> File containing the data values useful to build the component
• Rule -> Name of the Standard Rule
• Description -> Description of the Standard Rule
• MaterialFile -> Data file containing the materials allowed for this kind of component

For example, this is the structure of a ORing.ini file

# Data file Rule Description Material File

ShaftDynAS.UNI | AS/BS | O-Rings dynamic seal for shaft | orings.dat
ShaftDynSMS.UNI | SMS | O-Rings dynamic seal for shaft | orings.dat

Under each section it is possible to place several records; every record refers to a particular rule.

The material data file contains all the materials available for the component. All the material files are stored in the folder Norme.

The OringN.UNI files, contain the fields of the standard values related to oring normative; the structure of the files are self-explaining.
