You can place various types of equipment in your drawing, such as towers, boilers, heat exchangers, and reactors. You also place equipment components in drawings. Equipment components are items associated with pieces of equipment, such as nozzles and trays.

As you place equipment components, the software automatically creates a group relationship between the equipment and the component. As a group, the components move when you move the equipment. However, you can only associate an equipment component with a single piece of equipment. When you place an equipment component, the component is associated with the last selected or highlighted piece of equipment, creating an equipment group.

Depending on the rules defined for the equipment or equipment component, you can have limits to the possible placements for the equipment. For example, specific trays can be flagged for placement inside the piece of equipment, and nozzles can be flagged for placement outside the piece of equipment. Rule Manager defines rules that determine the way that model items interact during manipulation.

The software includes a standard group of equipment and equipment component symbols. However, you or your plant administrator can change and add to these symbols as needed for your plant.
