一、PCF  Component Definition

The component definition file defines the layout of the component definition in the PCF file. The contents of the file is documneted in the “PCF Component Reference Guide” and defines which items are obligatory in the output,  and which items are optional.

There must be at least two sections in a definition file: [Component Identifier] and [Mandatory Attributes]. The first gives the name of the ISOGEN? component, the second the data required to process the component properly.

Additional sections define attributes that can be added the component definition. These are only added to the definition if corresponding properties are gived.

The Component Identifier section can contain only 1 line, the mandatory section not more than 12 lines.

二、讀取PCF文件

從PCF Component definition中可以看出，PCF文件中管子部件中哪些數(shù)據(jù)是必須的，哪些數(shù)據(jù)是可選的。

必須的屬性數(shù)據(jù)一定要有，不然出來(lái)的軸測(cè)圖可能是不正確的。可選的屬性大多是一些額外標(biāo)記的文件信息等。

部件數(shù)據(jù)的讀取可以將[Component Identifier]作為界限，來(lái)讀取每個(gè)部件的屬性數(shù)據(jù)。

如下圖所示為一個(gè)Elbow在PCF文件中表示：
