A system is a special type of piping file, capable of holding several connected pipelines in a system. Using Smart Isometrics, it is possible to create a single piping system consisting of multiple connected pipelines. The entire system is processed by Isogen and, depending on system model content and complexity, one or more isometric drawings containing all the pipelines are produced.

The diagram below shows an example of the basic organizational structure of a piping system in Smart Isometrics:

Piping System Structure

Unlike those that are inherent when modeling a standard pipeline, the software observes the rules listed below when you model a piping system:

  1. Each sheet can contain objects from several pipelines.

  2. Components can be connected across multiple pipelines.

  • Click File > New System.

    The software opens a new Detail window, and the Pipeline Explorer adds the pipeline reference for the first pipeline in the system.

  • If you have not defined a default specification in the project defaults for the current project, the software prompts you to connect to a specification. For more information about defining project defaults, see Set project defaults in the I-Configure User's Guide.

  • The software always produces system isometrics.
