Rapid Routing Extensions
Rapid Routing™.is
a key part of the Hazmap Modeller product, proving that the connectivity and
function of pipelines is as vital as the geometrical description of the
position and orientation.
The following extensions are currently in beta at key
customer sites.
Support of user defined library of intelligent
inline Tee elements
Support of user defined Valve elements
Ability to modify and save the attributes of the
parameterised components
A power user can lock parameterised components for
general users
A Tee element
is selected in the component list.
In this case
we will also define the size parameters for subsequent use in routing this
pipeline.
The orientation
of the intersecting section of pipe is set as "up" via a rotation and a
simple click and drag on the vertical centreline positions the whole
component.
Rotations of any explict angle are
possible e.g. 45 deg, 60 deg etc. Alternatively the tee can be rotated
interactively around the main pipe centreline.
The principle
is much the same with Valve gear.
Additional
parameters define the geometry of
the body of the component
the actuating handle and arm
the flange assemblies
These can be set in three ways:
explicitly using the parameter dialog
interactively by manipulating the graphical overlay
and comparing with the underlying component
import from a CAD equipment catalogue
Routes can be
saved and imported as static graphical overlays of variable colour.
The node defining the face of the tee intersection can be
used to start a new as-built route whilst combining the integrity of
pipe connectivity and geometry.
Tee's and valves can be added retrospectively to an
existing route as required.
