Here we look at the Pipe Modelling Toolbars. ‘Multiple parts Single Parts Pipe functions Activate, Save, Cancel, Delete, Ready Pipe Material functions Frame to Pipe, Pipe to Frame, Branch to Frame, Subst straight, Subst bend Pipe Model functions Route, Part add, Part insert, Part rotate, Part delete Align Pipe Pipe Production functions Update spool, Auto spool name, Display spool limits unChapter 2 2 Modify Bend Functions The options under the Pipe Model > Bends menu allow the user to efficiently make modifications to an existing pipe route without having to delete & re-route. ‘These modifications are usually made before the pipe frame is dressed with pipe material Some restrictions exist. For example, if a modification may result in the alteration of an existing internal or ‘external connection, then the system will not allow it. The user will have to first disconnect in order to make the modification. The following examples show how these functions may be applied. i aed i] 2.1 Displaying, Creating and Deleting Bends 2.1.1 _ How to display 0-bends Open drawing PADV.2.1.1 Pipe must be active. © Select Pipe Model > Bends > Display bends ® Aliexisting bends in the activated pipe are displayed with the ‘o" symbol 132.1.2 _How to create a bend in a straight frame '™ Select Pipe Model > Bends > Create © Indicate part ™ Sélect Operation Complete when finished @ The position may be given using the various 20 & 3D point definitions.

Use the Create bend, Move free, and Move angle functions to make the modifications to it as shown in Ex 2. Finally change the pipe back to the original configuration. In doing this try using some of the other modify functions.Chapter 3 3 Group Functions The Group functions allow multiple parts to be handled in one operation. 3.1__ General | Poe Model ‘The Group functions allow changes to be made to groups of ‘components within the current pipe. In these functions a ‘group’ can mean anything from a single part to the whole pipe. ‘The only restriction is that if the group is more than one part then all effected components must be connected. This chapter illustrates how the functions on the left may be used. 3.2 Change Length Functions The Change length functions make it possible to make adjustments to lengths of straight pipe ‘material contained in the current pipe. The function can:- 1. Change one part only 2. Change one part and have another part adjust. In the second case the two parts must be parallel in a full 3D sense. 3.2.1 _ How to change the length of a pipe part (indicate) Open drawing PADV.3.2.1 © Select Pipe Model > Group > Change length + ® Indicate the Part and then indicate the connection to adjust as™ By Selecting Options at this point the following choices may be made: - Cn Delta length — change the existing length by a keyed in value (+/- possible) Absolute length — change the existing length a new keyed in length Free point — we will look at later In this example we will not use these options but rather we will indicate the new position for the pipe connection with the cursor. cee oil ® Select |‘ Node Point and indicate the face of the flange.

Thus, the total number of bending machines possible to define is 1000. If the BMOBJECT_ID keyword is present in the SBP_MODEL_DEF default fle there will be an option to enable work on a specific bending machine object. ‘The object can be the general purpose bending machine object (SMACHSBEND, equivalent to BMOBJECT_|D=0) or another object specified by the user.

The default file SBP_MODEL_DEF is a text file containing a list of keywords and parameters, and will be created normally as per company requirements, Alternatively the default fle can be interactively modified during the users own modelling session. However great care should be taken during this function as either the company requirements may not be met or errors can be encountered as the change contradicts other settings already made. 2) seo the Pipe User Guide Pipe Modelling / Appendix / A1.1 Default File for the complete list of parameters and keywords and their diferent variables. 6.1__SBP_MODEL_DEF 6.1.1 How to use Pipe Model Default File (SBP_MODEL_DEF) Open drawing PADV.6.1.1 ® Select Format > Defaults > 2 SBP_MODEL_DEF ™ Select ALWAYS_WITH_FLANGE © Change the Value to Yes ® Select Set "= Change ALWAYS_WITH_GASKET to Yes ™ Change AUTOSPLIT to EDIT_SPLIT_AND_DELETE ™ Select Apply ® Select OK 67® Select Pipe Model > Part > Insert © Notice how the with flange(s) and with gasket(s) boxes are now ticked © Insert a valve, flanges and gaskets © Add spool names and then make the pipe ready ‘© Notice now how the Autosplitis allowing the split command to be edited (maybe adding the sketch names) ™ Select Format > Defaults > 2 SBP_MODEL_DEF |= Select Restore Defaults 68Chapter 7 7 __ Introduction to Pipe Production Information In the Basic Pipe Modelling course we have seen how we may create pipe sketches. In this chapter we will discuss some of the main pipe production information, which appears on the sketch. For full details of this information see the Tribon M2 Pipe User Guide. 7.1__ The Pipe Sketch Pipe sketches are stored in two forms, in SB_PPDB as structural pipe sketch data and the DWG as picture objects. The detailed layout of the pipe sketches is determined by the sketch form. By T fT changing the form it is f | | possible to move the j items to other positions eee | Al in the sketch. viewpoint the pipe sketch contains all types of information useful for the production of the pipe spool. This information includes: - ™ Parts List and cutting Information Ci) | bt From a production ® Auto Flange Welding Information © Bending Information = Assembly Information The sketch also contains other useful data for production such as Surface Treatment, Heat Treatment, Bending Radius, Planning Unit etc a a [rem 697.2 Parts List Information 1, MODS. Text describing modifications to the sketch, 2. POS. Position number for material within the sketch. All material items have unique number, i.e. if two or more equal items exist, they will all have unique position numbers. 3. QUANT. Quantity of material. 4. UNITS. Quantity unit, ie. milimetres or pieces. 5. DESCRIPTION. Description of material. Originates from PCDB. 6. BUILD. Building length for component. For a pipe, the length is equal to the total material length of the finished pipe. When the length is preceded by a“, then the length is equal to the maximum length of the pipe, e.g. is the pipe has a mitre or a thread. 7. MTRL NO. Material number, ie. the material identification used in the material system (MIS). 8. AC. Material acquisition code according to the rules valid in the current material system (MIS). 7.3__ Auto Flange Welding Information AUTOMATIC WELD. Flanges to be welded in the automatic flange welder are specified here. If two flanges are automatically welded on the same pipe, the flange offset angle (the angle before bending) is specified. 7.4 Bending Information BENDING DATA. The FEED, ROT(ATION) and BEND values are calculated according to the requirements of the current bending machine. The CHECKSUM is also calculated to suit the control unit of the bending machine. The calculation of these values is very much depending on the properties of the bending machine. For example, the calculation of over-bend angle to ‘compensate for spring back is performed by some bending machines themselves, while it has to. be given to some. Also the calculation of automatically added over lengths, etc. may differ between different machines. The end of the pipe to put into the clutches of the bending machine is specified by: SPOOL: 1 CLUTCH: 4 where 1 is the position number for the pipe (spool) and 4 identifies the clutch end. The bending machine number, when the ‘multiple bending machine object feature is activated and the bending machine object is NOT the general purpose bending machine object ($ MACHSBEND) .will show up on the sketch as a bending machine number greater than 100. In this case the last 2 digits represent the actual bending machine number and the digit(s) in front of those 2 represent the
