CADWorx Pipe Supports
CADWorx Plant Pipe Supports are managed within the PSL, Pipe Support Library file. Many typical pipe supports can be created using the data files provided out of the box. However, more complex supports will require custom data files or custom DWG model files to be used to create the complete support. Spectrum has years of experience building and creating unique methods to create these supports, while also reducing the file sets traditionally needed with custom DWG based supports.
Pipe supports are an integral part of any piping system, and here at Spectrum Solutions, we provide our clients a wide range of pipe support details along with the ability to create intelligent pipe supports within the model.
Pre-Built Detail Pipe Supports
Spectrum Solutions pipe support details are based on industry standards, such as the PIP standard. All pre-built pipe supports provided by Spectrum Solutions includes the native AutoCAD file of the support detail, a PDF copy of the detail, and the required data files to reproduce the support in the specified CAD software. All that is required by the user to begin modeling the intelligent pipe support within a project is to load the provided configuration files into the project. All supports are intelligent and carry the Long Description, Tag and required information to create a full bill of material or take off sheet for the modeled supports.
Pre-Built Engineered Pipe Supports
Along with typical detail pipe supports, a project will inevitably have a need for engineered supports. Spectrum has also created a large library of Engineered pipe supports with the functionality and flexibility to allow a designer to place them within a model as an intelligent support assembly. No longer will the designer be required to model a support with “dumb” AutoCAD graphics or steel members to represent the support. Just like our detailed supports, our engineered supports have full adjustment and flexibility to the allowances of the corresponding detail. Material take off and bill of materials can report as an assembly or individual pieces of steel making up an assembly.
Pipe Support Detail File
Spectrum provides a detail sheet with every support we offer. The detail sheet is provided in native AutoCAD so you have the ability to modify the document with your own project requirements and border related information. All details are drafted using proper industry standards and will plot using default settings within AutoCAD.
Custom Pipe Supports for your Project
By using current up to date software technology such as CADWorx and AutoCAD Plant 3D, we can fabricate many kinds of standards supports as well as engineered designs provided by the client. In the event your organization already has piping standards or a project with specific client standards requirements, Spectrum can create your 3D intelligent support for you.
