Piperun properties
The Piperun Properties tool allows displaying information on the length, surface area, and inner volume of pipe runs.
Click the Piperun Properties button to enable the function, and then use the right mouse button to select the first and last part of the pipe run, and the system displays estimated values for that pipe section.
The calculations are based on object geometry and actual object dimensions, using the shortest possible path between the start and end point. eShare can obtain this information from the 3D model if the model has been created using CADMATIC design applications, or if the model contains piping made with the ASME standard. Both types of models require additional configuration, as described below.
Click the Piperun Properties button again to disable the function.
Show/hide videoEnabling piperun properties in CADMATIC models
If the 3D model has been created with the Plant Modeller module of CADMATIC design applications, you can enable piperun calculations by publishing the following attributes to the model:
- First Diameter, with tag D11.
- Wall Thickness, with tag D21.
- Pipeline, with tag pli.
Enabling piperun properties in ASME standard piping
If the 3D model contains piping made with the ASME standard, you can enable piperun calculations by publishing the following attributes to the model:
- Sch/Thk, describing the schedule of an object.
- NPD, describing the nominal pipe dimension of an object.
- P&ID Line no (or Pipeline), describing the pipeline of an object.
