This release enables the creation of custom specs, allowing the user to define parameters that must be applied to the models, like thickness, class rating, corrosion allowance, etc., according to the criteria defined by the user. For instance:
1. Let’s imagine a spec, named “SPEC_X12”, which indicates that the thicknesses for this sort of pipelines should comply with the following table:
|
Diameter - From |
Diameter - To |
Thickness |
|
1” |
3” |
STD |
|
4” |
6” |
0.250” |
|
8” |
12” |
0.375” |
2. When modeling the pipeline on PDMS the user would specify the spec name as “SPEC_X12”
3. With the spec definition, it is possible to create on pExchanger a custom spec named “SPEC_X12“, which reflects the mapping table
4. Then, whenever the “SPEC_X12” is found on a PDMS model imported by the user, the system will automatically apply the corresponding mapping table for each pipeline element
For a complete description of changes, see the Release Notes.
