INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW Through support for numerous regional and global standards – including pressure vessel design codes from the past ten years with regional wind and seismic loading codes – the software provides the most productive, cost-effective, and accurate design for the safe operation of vessels under all loading conditions. By enabling use of both new and older design codes, and material standards from any year, it improves flexibility for re-rating and revamping of existing vessels. This provides the opportunity to design for both brownfield and greenfield projects, shortens both design and rework time by eliminating guesswork, and reduces training time by providing a single, easy-to-use application for global projects. It ensures confidence in vessel design, and improves competitiveness through higher design quality. With AutoPIPE Vessel (powered by Microprotol), manufacturers can quickly evaluate multiple design options to provide comprehensive, high quality solutions for all loading conditions. The program produces drawings to support manufacturing of vessel components in detail with installation and operating conditions, enabling high-quality designs with reduced manual drawing and rework time. Some of the key features are: fatigue analysis, installation and support-in-place design and analysis, pressure testing, automatic drawing production and cost estimation. Comprehensive, flexible modeling and an easy-to-use interface enables designers to find solutions quickly, improves the efficiency of modeling, and increases profitability. This allows manufacturers to improve productivity and delivery time and enables easier, more accurate design and analysis. AutoPIPE Vessel (powered by Microprotol) imports thermal design data from a multitude of other programs (i.e., HTRI, Aspen, Prosim, and Honeywell) to automate heat exchanger model creation. It shares data with plant design software such as PDS and automatically produces drawings in all major CAD formats (e.g. MicroStation and AutoCAD). Through its superior interoperability, AutoPIPE Vessel (powered by Microprotol) ensures greater efficiency in supply chain and greater alignment with engineering companies. By enabling engineers to collaborate more efficiently, it reduces iterations and errors, enables better quality designs, unifies workflows across a comprehensive set of tools, and improves data handover to operations and maintenance.

BASIC CONCEPTS USING THE ON-LINE HELP

USING THE ON-LINE HELP The intent of this document is to familiarize you with the features and interface of AutoPIPE Vessel. It is not a comprehensive User’s Guide or Command Reference. For a complete listing of all AutoPIPE Vessel commands and features, as well as for other useful information, refer to the on-line help system that has been provided with your software. Bentley Help has been designed to provide you access to a variety of different types of help that can be viewed on screen or printed for hard copies. The suggestions below will make the help system more useful. Dialog and Context-sensitive Help: From within a dialog, you have a variety of help available. When a dialog is open, press the key in the title bar (at the top, right corner) of the dialog, then select any of the fields in the dialog. This method has the advantage of being able to access help related to grayed-out (disabled) items. Additionally, from within a dialog press the Help button to access overview information related to that dialog. Help Topics: You can view a “book layout” (i.e., Contents) of the help system at any time by selecting Help > Contents from the main AutoPIPE Vessel menu. Menu Level Help: You can interactively navigate through the help system by selecting the Menu Command Reference section to jump directly to command-specific help. Index: An extensive index of help topics has been provided. Press the Help button on any dialog or select Help > Contents from the menu, then click on the Index tab and type in a topic or key word in the field provided. The index list will filter as you type. Related Topics: Some Help topics are logically linked. In these instances, pressing a See Also button will link directly to a topic related to the open item. Printing: It is very easy to produce hard copies of help documentation. To print the current topic, simply press Print from the Help window. Bentley Help will send the topic to the default Windows printer. To print a range of topics, go the Contents tab and highlight a folder, then press Print. A Print Topics dialog will display on screen with the options “Print the selected topic” or “Print the selected heading and all subtopics”.

BASIC CONCEPTS BASIC CONCEPTS OVERVIEW

BASIC CONCEPTS OVERVIEW This chapter provides you with a tour of the AutoPIPE Vessel interface, and walks you through several of the most basic tasks. If you are a new user, note that the interface is not limited to drawing lines and circles, but rather adding components with specific properties entered into dialogs that, when accepted, update the graphical representation of the assembly accordingly. This chapter introduces you to the most basic AutoPIPE Vessel tasks, including: AutoPIPE Vessel Philosophy: When modeling in AutoPIPE Vessel, it is important to understand some of the concepts and techniques the designers have built into the interface. This section briefly describes modeling concepts and principles. Starting AutoPIPE Vessel: Double-click on the AutoPIPE Vessel icon (or select it from a taskbar). Loading a Model: The first step in every AutoPIPE Vessel session is either to define a new model or load an existing one. Navigating the Interface: This section covers basic interface navigation techniques and introduces you to the program interface, menu structure, and command techniques. Note

Before you can begin working with AutoPIPE Vessel, the software must be installed, configured for your system, and licensed.

AUTOPIPE VESSEL PHILOSOPHY PROJECT SPECIFICATION The time to create a new model can be greatly decreased when using Project Specifications. A specification contains all global project requirements and rules common to several components such as wind, seismic conditions, head type, floating head style, etc. Any new model created within the same project directory inherits the project data. A Project Specification is not a Component Specification because no geometry is filled in; however, any Component Specification created in the same Project will take advantage of the default data found in the Project Specification. Hint

Consider creating a Config directory in your Project directory to take advantage of the customizations.


2-3

BASIC CONCEPTS AUTOPIPE VESSEL PHILOSOPHY

COMPONENT SPECIFICATION Component Specifications contain the process and mechanical requirements to be applied on a component. The existence of a Project Specification provides a quicker input and provides default values. Existing Component Specifications can be opened as a model to create a new specification.

INDIVIDUAL CALCULATION Geometry (Head, Shell, Conical Transition). Flanges. These calculations are valid for internal /external pressure for all Pressure Vessel Codes. Also within this family are special calculations such as: Local loads according to BS 5500 or WRC B. Anchors. Expansion Joints. Saddles for Horizontal Vessels. Tube-Sheet Layout. Beams.

MODELING CHIMNEYS Chimneys are defined with metallic-based anchors. The calculation anticipates three helixes systematically set to 120° to avoid Karman whirlwinds.

PRESSURE VESSELS AutoPIPE Vessel enables you to define the stiffness of individual saddles (2-10) for Horizontal Vessels. Vessels can also be placed on Legs, Brackets, or Skirts. Vessels can have up to three chambers, each with a different design condition. Double-jacket and Limped Coil Vessels are supported. Vessel templates can be modified by inserting components such as Cones, Flanges, Flange Covers, etc.

BASIC CONCEPTS AUTOPIPE VESSEL PHILOSOPHY

SHELL AND TUBE EXCHANGERS Any combination of Channels, Shells, and Rear Ends can be selected for creating a new Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger. Special considerations are made for Floating Head Single Passes with an Expansion Joint below. Tubesheets can be extended, avoiding the Test Ring, and Bolted Tubesheets can be internally bolted. Most Bundle pass arrangements can be set up to 30 passes. Longitudinal and Transversal Bundle layouts can be interactively managed. U-bends can be crossed one-to-one, two-to-one, or three-to-one. Impingement Baffles can be defined as Plates or Rods. Sliding Rails, Sealing Strips and Tie Rods are located automatically. You can also interactively change the location. Disks and Doughnuts, Segmental, Double Segmental, Triple Segmental, and Support Baffles are also available.

AIR COOLERS Forced-Draft and Induced-Draft Air Coolers can be defined with conical, pyramidal, box transitions including steel structure descriptions and drawings without the steel structure design. Plug headers, flanged cover plates, stud cover plates and bonnet headers are designed according to ASME VIII as rectangular boxes with or without stiffener plates. Users can define the diameter and number of blades for fans, as well as the weight, type of drive, and location of electric motors. Bundle layouts are generated preserving the necessary space for Induced-draft shafts. You can define up to four bundles per Bay, and group Bays in Units and Units in Banc.

TANKS Tanks can be designed according to API 650 with a supported or self-supported roof (dome or conical). Wind, snow load, and earthquake considerations are also supported. You can also define the structure supporting the roof and automatically generate engineering drawings. The software can also perform checks to determine whether or not a roof is frangible.

The schedule or thickness may be entered but is not necessary since AutoPIPE Vessel calculates the required Nozzle thickness and pipe schedule. 4. In the Location field, type -100 mm. The Location field specifies the distance to the right of the reference line or Ref[1]:0 – which is the left Head-to-Shell weld joint in the case of a Horizontal Vessel (the case in this exercise). A negative value places the Nozzle at the center of the left Head directly on the axis. Likewise, any value greater than the length of the straight shell portion (6000 mm in this case) locates the Nozzle on the right Head at the center on the axis. Entering -100 mm places the Nozzle on the left head at the center. The Offset, Orientation and Inclination can also be specified (in this exercise they are all left blank and hence default to 0 values).

5. Type N1 in the Tag field, then select Manhole from the Designation drop-down pick-list. You may also enter information in the Notes field and enter a description in the Designation field. 6. By not specifying Reinforcement Size values, AutoPIPE Vessel will automatically calculate them; however, you may specify the width and thickness of the pad and also select the reinforcement type. Additionally, options are provided for limiting the length of the Nozzle and Shell for a more conservative design. 7. The Nozzle Neck tab should now appear as shown below.

CREATING A NEW SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER CREATING A BILL OF MATERIAL

CREATING A BILL OF MATERIAL OVERVIEW The principle of the Cost Estimate module is based on the computation of the Bill of Material where each line uses a manufacturing schedule table including one or more tasks. Raw weight and Freight weight are calculated as a task through the manufacturing schedule for each component. The customizable database enables you to specify material rates, specific gravity, rate of hours per task, machining factor depending on material classification, etc. Hours are added according to the task code specified in the manufacturing schedule. Item numbers, variables lists, and manufacturing schedules are fully customizable. When using a multi-site shop, a manufacturing schedule for each site can be produced before performing the calculation.
