end connection code

[andersun]

Where can I get a list of end connection abbreviations. I'm thinking SCM is screwed male thread, swm is socket weld male thread. but I'm not sure if I'm correct.

Hello andersun:
you can go to see the file of ENDCODES.INI in D:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant 2004\modules:
[SCM]
Name = SCM
Description = Threaded Male End
Engagement_Type = Male
EL = THD_ENG_B; THD_ENG_R; THD_ENG_M
OD = PIPE_OD_M; PIPE_OD_R; PIPE_OD_B

[SWM]
Name = SWM
Description = Socket-Weld Male End
Engagement_Type = Male
EL = SKT_DPTH_B; SKT_DPTH_R; SKT_DPTH_M
OD = PIPE_OD_M; PIPE_OD_R; PIPE_OD_B

Hello andersun
My attach file is a compressed file(*.zip),not the original file(ENDCODES.INI ).
Because i can not upload the files of *.ini to the wedsite.

Hello, Someone know if I Can "create" a new end connection modifying encodes.ini file?, Thanks in advanced.

Yes, you can make as many new encodes as you like. Remember you will also need to modify JOINTS.INI to tell it what other end codes can be connected. You may need new code in JOINTS.EBS to tell it how your new end code connects.
You may also need to update PCF.INI so that Isogen understands your new end code.

You may need to add it to the ports.ini as well.
