Pipelines 3D

Pipelines 3D is a specialized application for KOMPAS-3D software; it is intended for automation of routine works on pipelines design. The library is intended for using in the machine building area and for designing utility networks.

The application allows:

• Creating routes and performing different operations with them;
• Arranging pipeline’s elements.

Pipelines can be created in the following modes:

• By existing routes;
• By existing in the document paths or by their elements;
• In arbitrary mode.

Pipelines 3D is intended for automation of pipelines design

Pipelines can be created automatically, semi-automatically and manually.
In auto mode pipelines are created by routes each of these routes can include several paths. This mode allows creating pipelines, setting T-sockets, outlets and grooving of selected pipe coupling via paths included in routes.
In semiautomatic mode a pipeline is created by selected segments of paths; outlets and grooving of selected pipe coupling can be also created.

In manual mode separate pipes can be created as segments or as continuous pipe having creating bending radii at pipe turns.

The application also allows:

• arranging elements and setting certain type of coupling for each element;
• creating different insets in pipes;
• grooving of selected pipe coupling
• rearranging bearing faces;
• editing diameter and wall thickness of created pipelines.

The application can use components manually created by user and components from Standardized Parts catalogues as standard pipeline’s components.

Sets of standard elements are included in the library for the purpose of the familiarization:

• A pipe with unrestricted parameters (user can set necessary designation, external diameter and wall thickness when designing);
• A pipe set via integrated table of variables;
• A pipe set via the Materials and stock items reference;
• An outlet set via integrated table of variables;
• Outlets from Standardized parts reference;

A set of T-branches in the package analogical to outlets.
