Attachment types

The attachment types data form defines the properties of a number of named attachment types. Attachments with these properties can then be connected to lines. The available attachment types are clump types, drag chain types, flex joint types or stiffener types.

The attachment types form must include all the attachment types referred to by all of the lines in the model, but it can also include other attachment types that are not currently in use. This allows you to build a library of standard attachment types that can then be easily used when setting up lines.
