Groupings of attributes

You can group attributes into sections so that you can use the same attribute multiple times.

Example of an attribute grouping

For example, you define a pipe in the system as an asset. The pipe has the following characteristics:

It is 80 feet (~25 m) long.
It contains 10 sections of equivalent length.
It has an interior diameter that narrows at one end of the pipe.

Because of the taper, the walls of the pipe must be thicker at the narrow end to withstand the higher pressure. Each section has a different average interior diameter and wall thickness. Therefore, the attribute is the interior diameter.
