The Edit Nozzle window allows users to modify nozzle data and components.
The Edit Nozzle window is separated into different areas, Nozzle Data, Components Tree, Components,and Commands.

Nozzle Reinforcement (t)– Specifies the nozzle’s reinforcing plate thickness.
Nozzle Reinforcement (CA) – Specifies the nozzle’s reinforcing plate corrosion allowance.
Nozzle Reinforcement Gap – Specifies the nozzle’s reinforcing plate neck-to-reinforcement gap.
Reinforcing Plate Diameter (D0) – Specifies the nozzle’s circular chape reinforcing plate diameter.
Reinforcing Plate Length (L) – Specifies the nozzle’s diamond shape reinforcing plate length.
Reinforcing Plate Fillet Weld – Specifies the nozzle’s reinforcement plate fillet weld size.
Insert Plate Type – Specifies the nozzle’s insert plate type.
Insert Plate Thickness – Specifies the nozzle’s insert plate thickness.
Insert Plate Height – Specifies the nozzle’s insert plate height.
Insert Plate Width – Specifies the nozzle’s insert plate width.
Insert Plate Corner Radius – Specifies the nozzle’s insert plate corner radius.
Nozzle Reinforcement Impact Test – Specifies the nozzle’s reinforcing plate impact test requirement by the user.
Nozzle Neck Impact Test – Specifies the nozzle’s neck impact test requirement by the user.
Nozzle Flange Impact Test– Specifies the nozzle’s flange impact test requirement by the user.
Nozzle Cover Impact Test– Specifies the nozzle’s cover impact test requirement by the user.
Nozzle is Access Opening – Specifies the nozzle as an access opening.
Full Nozzle Area Replacement – Specifies the nozzle’s reinforcement area to fully compensate shell perforated area.
Exclude Shell Area – Specifies to exclude shell area into reinforcement calculations.
Exclude Outward Neck Area – Specifies to exclude outward neck area into reinforcement calculations.
Exclude Inward Neck Area – Specifies to exclude inward neck area into reinforcement calculations.
Stress-relieved periphery welds– Specify the nozzle’s periphery welds to be stress-relieved.
Stress-relieved assembly – Specifies the nozzle’s assembly to be stress-relieved.
Allow opening in shell butt-weld – Allows the nozzle to intersect shell seams.
Allow Table 5.6 Manhole Elevation – Allow Table 5.6 for manhole elevation requirements.
Components Tree Area #
The Components Tree includes the following root nodes: External Piping, Internal Piping, and Unassigned Components.
External Piping – All components from this node are external to the tank surface.
Internal Piping – All components from this node are internal to the tank surface.
Unassigned Components – All components from this node are unassigned and excluded from the tank model and Bill Of Materials.
Users may drag and drop components to arrange them to change zones or alter the component’s order.
By right-clicking on a node in the Components Tree, the user is given access to operations that can be applied to the selected piping component.
The actions that the user may perform from the pop-up menu are as follows:
Edit – Edit the selected piping component.
Clone – Copy the selected piping component. The selected piping component is cloned and added to the Unassigned Component node.
Delete – Delete the selected piping component.
Component Area #
The Components area includes all piping components that can be added to the Components Tree.
By left-clicking on a component an Edit Component window is opened with a standard component information for the user to make modifications.
By right-clicking on a component a standard component is added to the Components Tree.
