Creation of very simple pipe

First of all, enter to piping mode Design��Pipework. From menu select Create�Pipe. Type pipe

name in field Name. If required change Specification and Attributes.

Click OK. Now program requires entering branch name. By default it is b1.

Set Explicit in list Head/Tail settings and click OK.




Select Head and enter all coordinates. Enter Nominal bore and Direction (direction is way from

head along nearest element of current branch. Currently this id East. If take into account that both

ends is flanged and we don’t know defined connection to other piping elements (nozzle, tee ….) and

we know only coordinates we will select 150# RF flange in Connection. Then click Apply.

Now select Tail. Fill all info about coordinates, connection type, and nominal bore. In case

Direction that is defining same way but from tail along close section of branch. In this case is W.

and Apply and you will see next picture.




We can see now pipe. But if your pipe straight and have different direction you will see only dash

line. Now required to install components (flanges, valves, tees). We need install 2 flange and

gaskets at the both ends of pipe. From main menu Create��Components..

There a lot of components. We need to select Assembly (flange and gasket).

If you want to start installation of components from head to tail (normally have to be so), select

option Forwards. If from tail to head – Backwards. Select Auto conn to automatically

connection to previous components or head and tail of pipe. Direction in list (Direct N) is not

applicable to Assembly. It has a meaning for elbows to show correct direction of end and where to

connect – Thro head. And click Create.




Select Gasket flange to head and Apply.

Select type of flange. This option can be different because of local database installed by Admin.




A you can see flange is already installed. Lets install to tail.

Apply

Ok




So very simple pipe is done.
