Autoplant Equipment 4n4g11

AutoPLANT Equipment Object-based 3D equipment modeling AutoPLANT Equipment XM Edition provides the with a powerful 3D application for fast layout and design of intelligent vessels, nozzles, and equipment drawings. The product is shipped complete with comprehensive prebuilt equipment libraries. Complex custom components are easily modeled from intelligent equipment primitives. AutoPLANT Plant Design solutions provide state-of-the-art 3D modeling capabilities previously unavailable in any AutoCAD-based plant design and modeling package, and this is particularly evident in AutoPLANT Equipment. The 3D engine for AutoPLANT is written exclusively with advanced ARX technology, allowing you to take Equipment is placed based on parametric input data

advantage of new and advanced modeling methods available with AutoCAD ObjectARX technology.

Parametric Equipment AutoPLANT Equipment lets you model using parametric information. Dialogs are presented with graphical representations of the equipment, along with data fields for each critical parameter, allowing you to draw equipment with a great deal of precision. As the design evolves dimensional changes can be reapplied to parameters and the 3d equipment is graphically updated automatically.

Standard Equipment Shapes The AutoPLANT Equipment module includes a wide range of standard equipment shapes such as pumps, vessels, and exchangers. By selecting from the pull-down menus or toolbar, entities are quickly placed by defined points or relative to global reference points. Examples of standard equipment

Custom Equipment Custom equipment is easily built from intelligent primitives. Placing an equipment primitive defines the master or parent component, while attaching associative primitives defines the slave or child components. Constructing equipment assemblies this way is like attaching nozzles to equipment; if you modify the vessel’s dimensional parameters, the nozzles will move accordingly. Similarly, if you modify the parent primitive of an equipment assembly, the child primitives will be moved or sized accordingly.

-defined Equipment The Equipment/-defined option displays a dialog for creating a special type of equipment component from one or more existing AutoCAD or AutoPLANT Equipment entities in a drawing. These entities can be anything -defined equipment dialog

from an AutoCAD primitive, such as a line or circle, to a complex component, such as a block or custom object. The Equipment/-defined lets you bring legacy and other third-party equipment components into the AutoPLANT Equipment environment.

Intelligent Nozzles AutoPLANT Equipment provides a variety of options for placing and orienting nozzles. First, nozzles are placed using parametric information from external database specifications. Once the nozzle is placed on the equipment, the intelligence becomes available to the AutoPLANT Piping application. With AutoPLANT Piping, the connects a piping component to the nozzle, the size, spec, rating, facing, or line number is carried over to the connecting piping fitting.
