Piping sub-components are elements that are owned by valve and flange components and created as accessories and mountings. Sub-components dictate the shape and geometry of the components. Some can be connected with other sub-components.

These are the types of sub-component and their icons, which are available in the Pipe Sub-Component Editor:

Create piping sub-component

Ensure that the Piping discipline is selected.

  1. In the Model Explorer or on the drawing canvas, click the valve or flange on which to create a sub-component.

  2. Click Component in the Create group of the Piping ribbon and select Sub-Component.

  3. Click the icon of the type of sub-component to create.
    The Select tab of the editor displays a grid with the available sub-components of the selected type. For each, it displays the sub-component's sType and description. Use the sType Filter field to filter the grid by sType.

  4. Click Create.
    The sub-component is created and added to the model hierarchy below its parent component. The sub-component is highlighted on the drawing canvas.

Modify piping sub-component

You can select a different sub-type for a sub-component. For example, select a different sub-type of actuator or insulation box.

  1. In the Model Explorer, select the parent component of the sub-component to replace.For example, to modify an actuator connected to a valve, select the valve.

  2. Click Component in the Modify group of the Piping ribbon and select Sub-Component.

    A message is displayed if the selected component has no sub-components, or if it is not a piping component.

    The Pipe Sub Component Editor is displayed with the Reselect tab selected.
    The Reselect tab displays the available sub-components for the selected valve or flange, with details such as Name, Type, Specification and Bore. To list only components of a certain type, select from the Sub Type list.

  3. Click the required type of sub-component and click X to close the editor.
    The drawing canvas is updated to show the new sub-component.
