Summary#

Connection point prims must be Plane (rectangular) or Disk (circular) geometry only. The rule belongs to the v0.1.0 vocabulary: a v0.1.0 profile authors Plane and Disk geometry, a v0.2.0 profile authors Xforms under CP.010.

Description#

Connection point geometry represents the physical opening on the equipment where a pipe, duct, or cable connects. A Plane maps to rectangular openings (most electrical and airflow connections), and a Disk maps to circular openings (most piping connections).

Why is it required?#

  • Geometry type communicates the shape of the physical interface to simulation runtimes

  • Incorrect geometry types can cause misaligned connections in facility layout tools

Examples#

# Rectangular electrical connection point → Plane geometry
def Mesh "nvidia_electrical_nominal_voltage_main" { ... }   # Plane

# Circular piping connection point → Disk geometry
def Mesh "acme_fws_supply_piping_connection_main" { ... }   # Disk

How to comply#

Author connection point prims as Plane geometry for rectangular openings (electrical, airflow) and Disk geometry for circular openings (piping). In USD Composer, this can be done via Create > Mesh > Plane or Create > Mesh > Disk.
