Modeling a Pump
The Equipment Builder is dialog driven to simplify modeling
When you model a pump, the main concerns are the location of the suction and discharge nozzles in relation to the pump base. When these are right, the rest of the pump is usually not too much of a concern. Modeling the base, motor , shaft, and coupling are important mainly for verifying you have room around the pump for its operation and installation, and also to establish a spatial volume for the pump to occupy. Then you can see if something might be clashing or interfering with parts of the pump. Watch the opening sections of the video and then start your model. To start the process, have Equipment running and 1. 2. 3. Click New Enter in the name: P-1000. Click Horizontal (for the orientation). You can build horizontal or vertical models
305
4. 5.
Then youll Click the Components tab and Click the first four buttons on the pump tool bar (see video).
You can follow the videos, then pause them at certain points, and fill out your dialog boxes with values as shown in the following figures. The video will show you exactly how to get the discharge nozzle oriented correctly.
Placing the main components
In pumps, the main concern is locating the nozzles correctly
306
The only tricky part to a pump is getting the discharge nozzle oriented correctly (see video). Also, you will have to do some adjustments to get the nozzles positioned as needed in relation to the base. The video will explain that as it goes along.
Details on the discharge when you click Distance.
The body and base of a pump model can show you if there is adequate clearance from other objects in the model

Other values used in the pump model
308
Modeling a Vertical Vessel
This model will contain vessel parts, nozzles, and platforms
In this section youll model the vertical vessel named 35-450. This will be an interesting example, because youll model the various components that make up the vessel, as well as platforms and nozzles. Note: The top platform has been modified from the video. See the details in the later section of this lesson.
309
Start the video for the lesson, and watch the first section. Then you can pause it and do some of the steps it shows. Go back and forth from the video to CADWorx Equipment and work you way along step by step. As you progress through the videos you will enter in values in the dialog boxes as shown. Use the dialog boxes for data as you go through the videos
Dialog boxes make updating the model easy and dynamic

Equipment Modeling Modeling Heat Exchanger

In this lesson you will model a heat exchanger. The Heat Exchanger youll model looks as shown.
You can save models and easily modify them for other clients
You could model the exchanger yourself, step-by-step if needed. It would be a matter of naming it, setting the orientation to horizontal, and clicking components from the first toolbar to arrange them (elliptical head, cylinder, body flange, stiffening ring, etc.).
In CADWorx, you can also transfer model and design data back and forth between CADWorx and PVElite

1. 2. 3. 4.
Start the Equipment module in CADWorx Plant. On the Placement Tab, Click New Fill out the name: EX-1000
5.
Set the Orientation to Horizontal.
Follow along with the video and model the exchanger as it shows. The values youll need to fill out, as you watch the video, are shown in the following figures. Save the drawing regularly, and replay the video if you need to watch certain sections more than once.

317
Experiment with other parts of the exchanger. Try some different measurements and notice how the system handles your input.
