Pipeline design in SolidWorks

Abstract

It is shown that is the program SolidWorks and what it is intended for, taking into account also that SolidWorks is a network standard for tree- dimensional solid state design. There are also tree basic system configurations, which are used depending on the class and complexity of the tasks.
 Application in practice of design of SolidWorks provides automatic reception of the license for use of technologies of tree- dimensional designing which allow to design and bring to the market modern innovative production.
 Respect for those that the SolidWorks program functions on the Windows platform has been transferred to the Russian language and on- demands DSTU and ESKD.
 The use of SolidWorks can significantly reduce labor costs when performing assembly work. The risibility of tree- dimensional design is fundamentally different from the usual project and allows workers to perform assembly work without contact consultation and ongoing control by engineering personnel. SolidWorks can be used for the design in various branches of mechanical engineering, construction, as well as for installation work on water supply and sewerage pipe systems. There tasks are solved using the SolidWorks Routing module, which is included in the configuration of the SolidWorks Premium and is specially designed to facilitate the design of prefabricated and bent pipelines, as well as flexible hoses. When designing plumbing equipment in pumping stations there is a task to complete the individual components and nodes of the project to obtain a tree- dimensional model in a complete form.
 The inclusion of pipeline equipment in a tree- dimensional model of a object allows solving many problems already at the design stage and avoiding situations when at the installation stage it is revealed, that the pipes are incorrectly bent and interfere with the operation of other system nodes, or there is little free space in the created structure for saying all the necessary communications.
 Using the SolidWorks Routing program makes it possible to optimally and compactly place water and sewer pipes indoors, prevent them from crossing and quickly get accurate data on the needs for materials and components. Indicates additional modules, which can also be used witch the SolidWorks program to facilitate the design work on the boring and bent pipelines, flexible lines and communications.
