Properties
Enables you to specify a group name, a name, and the size ranges for the new pipe support assembly. Click + to expand and view these options.
-
Group Name
Specifies the group name for the new pipe support assembly. This name displays in the CADWorx Support Modeler palette.
-
Name
Specifies the name of the pipe support assembly. This name displays under the group name in the CADWorx Support Modeler palette.
-
Size Range
Specifies the sizes for the new pipe support assembly.
-
CAESAR II Type
Specifies the restraint type of the support for use in CAESAR II pipe stress analysis.
Insulation Options
Enables you to select insulation options for the new pipe support assembly. Click + plus to expand and view these options.
-
Increase support size if component is insulated
Automatically selects a larger size support component based on the insulation thickness. For example, a six-inch nominal size pipe (6.625 inch actual OD) has four-inch thick insulation (14.625 inch OD). This makes the total pipe diameter 6.625 inch actual OD plus 8 inch insulation OD. The software determines the support by looking it up in the data file.
-
Use next larger size if exact size is not available
Specifies that if the calculated support is not available in the data file, the next larger size support is selected.
BOM
Enables you to set the bill of material sort, type, and CAESAR II Type for the new pipe support assembly you create. You can use the plus to expand and view these options.
-
Sort
Locates a component item in the bill of material schedule. Type the needed value. Type 0 to place the item first in the schedule. Type 999 to place the item last. If the same sort numbers are used for different components, they are placed in alphabetical order.
-
Type
Specifies the bill of material type. Select Fabrication, Erection, Offshore, or Misc.
Isogen
Enables you to set the Isogen details for the new pipe support assembly you create. You can use the plus to expand and view these options.
-
Identifier
Specifies the identifier value Isogen uses for an isometric drawing. For more information, see SKEY Information.
-
SKEY
Specifies the SKEY value Isogen uses for an isometric drawing. If you do not specify an SKEY value, then CADWorx uses the default Isogen Support symbol during Isometric Drawing generation. For more information, see SKEY Information.
