DETAIL

Function:

Generates and plots isometric drawings and material lists.

Description:

The DETAIL command followed by one or more element identifiers processes the elements given, and produces the isometric drawings and any other reports requested.

The default hierarchy level for plotting on a single isometric drawing is: a Pipe from the DESIGN database or a spool drawing from the Fabrication database. Branches or spools/fields can be plotted individually and system isometrics, from a higher level in the database, can also be output.

More than one pipe or spool drawing can be specified in a single DETAIL command. The pipes can be specified individually, as a high-level element or group, or as members of the Detail List (refer to ADD and REMOVE commands).

If a Pipe is detailed with repeatability on, the split points and spool identifiers can be stored in the DESIGN database. In this case, individual sheets and spools can be added to the Detail List. Refer to REPEATABILITY command.

Note: If MARK DETAIL ON is set, the DETA attribute of a pipe is set to TRUE when it is detailed, Isodraft will not detail the pipe again unless MARK IGNORE ON has been specified.

The capability to DETAIL Pipe Spools (PSPOOLs) and Pipe Spool Lists (PSLISTs) is available in Isodraft.

All of the functionality available to DETAIL PIPEs and BRANCHes in earlier versions of Isodraft is now also available to DETAIL PSPOOLs and PSLISTs. Such PSPOOLs and PSLISTs are created in the Pipe Production Checks utility in the Design module, and after their creation, they are visible beneath the owning pipe in the Model Explorer. Then, they are subsequently also visible in the Model Explorer in the Isodraft module. The PSPOOL or PSLIST may be made the Current Element (CE) and then DETAILed in the usual way.

A second way in which PSPOOLs and PSLISTs may be DETAILed is by making them members of the Detaillist. This is accomplished using the usual ADD/REMOVE commands, which are already available for adding and removing Pipe and Branch elements of the Detaillist.

System Isometrics

Normally, Isodraft processes each pipeline or spool drawing separately. Pipes or spool drawings, which are connected can be detailed as a complete, named, and system isometric. For example:

DETAIL CE AS ‘System Name’

Note: The user cannot mix DESIGN and Fabrication database elements in the same system isometric.

The system name is plotted, by default, in the pipeline reference box in the bottom right-hand corner of the drawing. The individual pipe names along with their material and other specifications are plotted at the change point.

If any specification is unchanged throughout the system, it will be output in the title block in the same way as a normal isometric. If a system consists of only one pipe, its name will be added to the title block.

The material control file and material list will be produced for the whole system isometric. It is not possible to produce a breakdown of materials for an individual pipeline, nor will the material files include any pipeline header information.

Note: No information is written to the support file for a system isometric.

Equipment Trims

Although unconnected items cannot be drawn automatically as part of a system isometric, vessel, or equipment trim drawings comprising a drawing frame. The user-positioned text and a material list can be produced for material take off using the DETAIL AS EQUIPMENT option. The graphical part of the drawing can then be added separately, for example, as an underlay plot generated in Draw.

Groups of components such as blanking flanges, level gauges, relief valves, etc., can be modelled on the basis of one Pipe per Nozzle, or per group of Nozzles if connected (such as a level gauge piped between two Nozzles). Disconnected branches in the same pipe on different nozzles cannot be grouped. The collection of pipes can then be detailed as equipment trim.

In the material list, equipment trim items will be grouped under headings of the form.

NOZZLE REF - A.

By default, item numbering for equipment trims in the material list will start at 1 for each Nozzle. To concatenate the lists so that the numbering is continuous throughout the sequence of Nozzles, use the EQUIPMENTNUMBERING command.

A split ATTA (that is, an ATTY set to SSSS) positioned at the Tail of an equipment trim Branch will cause a multiple sheet drawing to be produced. Such an ATTA should be positioned so that the split comes between two Nozzle groupings.

It is not possible to obtain a cut pipe list on an equipment trim isometric. Cut pipe lists have pointers to individual lengths on the drawing. Since equipment trim isometrics are for material take off only (with no drawing), a cut pipe list would not be meaningful.

Examples:

DETAIL /SITE2-1 /PIPE-2-2-1

Plots named elements only.

DETAIL ALL

Plots the current Detail List.

DETAIL /SITE2-1 /SITE2-2 AS ’REFINER’

Plots the two sites as a single system iso with the drawing title ‘REFINER’.

DETAIL SHEETN 2 /PIPE-2

Replots sheet 2 of PIPE-2.

Note: If a dimension is continued on another sheet, the other sheet will be replotted as well so that the dimensioning information is correct.

DETAIL SHEETN SING /PIPE2

Replots the iso for /PIPE-2 on a single sheet

DETAIL /SPLDRG-2

Plots spool drawing 2 of the Fabrication database.

DETAIL PSPOOL2 OF PSLIST1 OF PIPE /013-0001-A150-100

Plots a single PSPOOL.

DETAIL PSLIST1 OF PIPE /011-0001-A150-100

Plots a PSPOOL list.

Note: The ‘Spool’ branch in this syntax diagram refers only to spools from the DESIGN database, not to Spool Drawings from the Spool module, which the user plots using the normal DETAIL command.

Restrictions:

The maximum number of element identifiers allowed in a DETAIL command is 100.

A maximum of 20 DETAIL commands are allowed for a single pipe (sheets or spools). The maximum number of items for any single pipe (sheets or spools) is 20. The user can only add sheet and spools for a Pipe that has previously been detailed with Repeatability on, so that split points and spool identifiers have been stored in the DESIGN database. Refer to REPEATABILITY command. Normal pipes can be detailed alongside replots.
