Insulation

In CADMATIC, the insulation of pipelines and components is specification-driven: various rules regarding how to insulate pipelines are defined in insulation specifications stored in the COS database. For each pipeline or component, the user can select 0–3 insulation specifications, and then activate and deactivate these specifications while routing pipes; no further data input is required from the user. This helps the user to identify the correct space allocations immediately and to notice possible collisions already during modeling.

Pipe insulation is visualized in Plant Modeller, Piping Isometrics & Spools and eBrowser.
