6. PROCEDURE
6.1 IMPLEMENTING A NEW PROJECT
Cadadmin will create the structure of the new project in the location H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject PM/ Headpiping will communicate to Netadmin the user list with full access on location H:\CadworxIso\Newproject. All users must have mapped the dive H Following PC request, Cadadmin will introduce the needed pipe classes in the location H:\CadworxIso\Support\Spec. In location H:\CadworxIso\Support just Headpiping and Cadadmin will have full access. PC will handle (if necessary) to cadadmin a list containing specific components (which are not present in the pipe classes). Form F1-H-E (h:\CADWorx Iso\Support\) must be used. After completion the form will be placed in location H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject \Data\Models\Various Observation: a. The information introduced in this list will be used in the pipeclass. b. one list per project will be used The available specification (in Excel format) can be found in the location: H:\CadworxIso\Support\Spec_xls

6.2 PIPING 3D MODEL

6.2.1 Work environment configuration Cadworx Plant software will be used. Each user will create at least one file in location: H:\CadworxIso\Newproject\Data\Models\Piping. Is recommended to use a single pipe class in one file. PC/ Headpiping will assign each user a number of lines. A line should not be present in 2 files. Users can find template files in location: H:\CadworxIso\Support\Templ The first thing to do in the new file is to choose the configuration file. Configuration file name will be identical with the pipe class name. The steps to be done are: Plant menu Setup Edit Config File Restore ConfigFile.cfg ConfigFile.cfg will be placed in location H:\CadworxIso\Support\System The next step will be the pipe class selection. The spec view dialog box must be activated Plant Palettes Spec View

4 / 21

From the same dialog box the main size and the reduction size must be selected. Also the line number must be introduced. The line number from the model matches with the line number from the P&ID but cannot contain special character . Is recommended to use (``). The line number must be identical with the line number from csv/xls file. Is mandatory to turn on Specification Option toggle (toolbar Settings) when the user want to insert components with rating different than the pipe class rating If the user want to introduce a line with a different pipe class is mandatory to follow the same steps: first choose the configuration file than the spec file and so on. Usage of a spec file which is not matching the config. file will produce wrong list of materials. Measurements units must be: mm The pipes will be modeled in real coordinates from the beginning (if possible). The topo study must be used like referenced file. Location for topo study: H:\CadworxIso\Newproject\Data\Models\Various. This file must be identical with the file located in a P:\year\Newproject\ . If a new revision of the topo study is released PC must place the file in the both location. 6.2.2 Pipes, elbows, tees, reducers Auxiliary lines can be used for pipes center lines (select layer Linii) 2D Tracing The center lines will be placed on the XY plan of the current UCS.

Instructions for Cadworx equipment can be found in : h:\ CADWORX ISO\CADWORX-CURS\CADWORX-EQUI-CURS.pdf Equipment model will be based on the data sheet produced by the Equipment department. Depending on the number and complexity of equipment, the user will create one or more files. The files will be placed on: H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject\Data\Models\Equipmnet The nozzle which will be used must have dimensions and rating according to the pipe class

6.4 CIVIL
Cadworx Plant/AutoCAD software will be used. The model for civil works is not the base for detail design. In a first phase, this model can be considered like a construction theme for civil department. When the civil department completes the constructive solution, the model will be updated by the users The users will work just with 3D solid entities. Is recommended to use the Steel toolbar.

For inserting an HEA profile select

and the following dialog box will appear

Depending on the number and complexity of the structures, the user will create one or more files The files will be located on: H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject \Data\Models\Civil

6.5 EMSR
Cadworx/AutoCAD software will be used The model for electrical installation (cable tray, cable ladder will be based on the drawings produced by the EMSR department. To insert Cable tray follow the steps: Plant HVAC SHAPES

Depending on the number and complexity of the electrical equipment, the user will create one or more files The files will be located on: H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject \Data\Models\EMSR

13 / 21

6.6 WORKING WITH EXTERNAL REFERENCES

First of all the user must check units of measurement (piping model must have mm units, but the topo study usually have m units) The ucs must be set on world. References must be overlay type and the insertion point must be 0, 0, 0

6.7 REVIEW
Cadadmin will create nwd files (containing all the drawings of the model) on the location H:\CadworxIso\Newproject\Data\Models\Review These file can be viewed with NaviWorksFreedom. These file are useful for clash detection and for a good overview of the entire project The files must be updated 1-2 times per week (or whenever is necessary)

6.8. ISOMETRICS
PM/PC will notify the users if the isometrics must be delivered in Cadworx format or SmartPlant format. At least the as built isometrics must be in SmartPlant format -Isometrics in Cadworx format The user must fill the file TitleBlock.xls located in H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject Microsoft Excel 2007 is recommended. Excel 2010 is not recommended. The user cannot write special characters in the xls/csv file :() The cells must not be in Number Format. The cells can not be on two rows In the top of the column is specified -in brackets the maximum number of characters that can be introduced. After each modification, the xls file must be converted to csv file in the same location (Cadworx can work just with csv files) The config file will be selected (see 6.2.1) The specification must be selected Plant menu Setup specification select specification If connection points are placed in other files, insert those files using xref command. Select isogen style. Isogen style must be in accordance with the cfg file (if cfg is for Ansi pipe class the isogen style must be Ansi) If the line contain both ansi and din components ansi cfg file and ansi style will be choosen. Plant menu Accessory Isogen Isogenout select directory, select style Generate isometrics Plant menu Accessory Isogen Batch select lines One or more lines can be selected Isometrics will be located on: H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject \Stil\Drawings When the isometrics are ready to be sent to the checker, the files will be placed on: H:\CadworxIso\Newproject\Data\Models\ISO -Isometrics in Smartplant format To obtain the isometrics in Smartplant we need the pcf files generated in Cadworx. These files will be automatically generated together with the isometrics (with isogen batch command) in the location H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject \ Inputs The pcf files will be copied to I:\SPIsometrics\ Newproject\Imports TitleBlock.xls file will be copied in location I:\SPIsometrics\ Newproject Open Smart plant Isometrics and import pcf files. File import select line Observation: By default SmartPlant is set on Metric/Inch Bores. If the user want to import lines with Metric/ MM bores (or with both type of units), he must inform the cadadmin. We generate the isometrics File Generate drawings A dialog box will appear: We select the iso style:
14 / 21

We select the option Style Setting for North arrow

The isometrics will be found in location I:\SPIsometrics\ Newproject \ Stil\Drawings The native files (*.pod) will be saved in the location I:\SPIsometrics\ Newproject\Pipes

6.9. LAYOUTS
PM/PC will notify users if the layout should be delivered in the usual format or the format desired by the customer (Petrom_Symbolica). These formats do not exclude each other completely. Is possible that the first edition to be in the usual format and the last one to be in the customer format.

15 / 21

6.9.1 Usual format Cadworx Plant/AutoCAD software will be used. In location H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject\Data\Models\Layout one single file will be created. Is not mandatory that this file must be created when the model is finished In the model tab will be inserted (with xref command) all the files needed for the layout. For each drawing a layout will be created. In layout tab will be inserted title block and borders delivered by the customer (paper space mode will be selected) Views will be inserted with viewports (one by one) in Layout tab View Viewport New Viewport Active Model configuration. Visual style in Viewport dialog box must be set on Wireframe Paper size will be selected in page setup (oversize type). The scale of the drawing must be specified in Scope of work. If not a standard scale will be used (the drawing must be readable). The scale will be applied to the frame and the title block. The geometry will be made in absolute sizes (OMV norm 351). The scale of the viewport will be set to 1:1. After the scale selection the viewport must be locked For section and partial views the viewbox command is recommended (in this way we cut o slice form the mdel). Before introducing this command, auxiliary lines (defining the opposite corner of the box) can be drawn. Plant menu Utility View Viewbox dialog box

Select the views to be generate

After we define the box and the types of view, we choose the desired view from the viewport dialog box

16 / 21

Dimensioning Dimension styles of the customer will be used Dimensions will be placed in layout tab in viewports. All dimensions must be attached to the entities from the model. In this way updates in the model will lead to the dimension update Before the plotting the visual style must be changed from Wireframe In Hidden After the layout is complete they will be extracted in pdf format in location: H:\CadworxIso\Newproject\Data\Models\Layout\pdf 6.9.2 Customer format (Petrom Symbolica) Cadworx Plant software will be used. The usual format can be considered the base for the Customer Format The main difference between the usual format and the customer format is the use of the 2drep command (2d representation) 2drep will be applied to all the viewports Command entry: 2drep select object Enter All the entities (obtained with 2drep) will be placed in Symbolica Layers The layouts will be exported to new drawings with wblock command.

6.10 BILL OF MATERIALS

The list of material will be generated for each pipe class. The configuration file must be selected according to the pipe class (see 6.2.1) The user must configure the style for the list of the material Plant menu Bill of material Setup select : Mark, Alpha size, Long_desc, DB_code, Length, Quantity, Spec_file Generate list of materials in an Excel file Plant Bill of material Export T (total length) L (line number) L (list) select lines. List of materials will be saved in location H:\CadworxIso\ Newproject\Data\Models\ MTO. Afterwards these lists will be converted using Customer template Is recommended to run a list of materials before isometrics (just for checking)

6.11 ARCHIVING, SAVING, PLOTING

17 / 21

PC/Cadadmin will make periodically backups for all active projects. Before saving, the users must perform the Purge command When many drawings must be plotted is recommended to use the publish command. In this case Autocad will be used and not Cadworx. File Publish A dialog box will appear:

Add files

In Include box Model must be selected

18 / 21

Page setup must be imported

File SetupF7 will be placed in location: I:\SPIsometrics\ Newproject\Style\ Drawings

In the end press Publish and the drawings will be ploted

6.12 OBSERVATIONS

19 / 21

To obtain readable isometric drawings use stop sign (or additional flow arrow). Is not allowable to leave connection point in the air (near other connection point or pipe center line).

Is not allowable to use Symbolica layers in the piping model. Is not recommended to use the stretch command. If, however is used, is recommended to use the convertsolid for the stretched component. Using cadworx 2010 is possible to insert pipe components which are not in accordance with the pipe classes. The user must have always on his desk the pipe class and the part descriptions. Is not recommended to insert components from the spec view palette. Two weldolets can not have the same insertion point. A gap of few mm must exist If you want to delete an attribute in xls/csv file (for a line wich has been already generated) dont leave blanks (place for example -).
