Piping Component from a Part Model (No Dimension Table)

Piping Design

If you are filling in data in the database view for the first time, confirm the copying of the pipe library into the Custom/dbases folder.

We recommend filling in the fields marked with asterisks (*).

  1. Fill in the data in the two-page COMPONENT DATA view.
  2. Fill in data on the pages:
    • Code - Fill in a unique item code.
    • Type - In the G4 Mechanical Engineering application, the software will fill in the default value.

      In the Plant Piping option, the user can select a component type for each part, which will then be used, for example, in the isometry application for adding an isometry symbol.

    • Description - Enter a clear-language name for the component, for example 'Valve'.
    • Dn Size - If necessary, change the Dn Size. If there are several sizes available for the component, for example a T branch, fill them in separated with vertical lines ( | ).

      You can type a vertical line ( | ) by pressing the Alt Gr + > keys.

    • Wall - If the component has several walls, for example a T branch, fill them in separated by vertical lines.
    • Material - Click and select a material. Leave the field empty if you wish the component to suit all pipes.
    • Classes - The pipe class is used in Plant Engineering pipelines. Fill in all pipe classes in which you wish to use the component, separated by vertical lines ( | ). If you leave a field empty, the component becomes available for all pipe classes.
    • Fill in data for an elbow-type component.
    • Otherwise, fill in data as necessary.
  3. Save the data by clicking OK.

    The piping component is now finished. You can add the component from the library.
