New Pipe Fabrication Capabilities - *12​.1​.SP4*

New design tools comprise modelling extensions as well as checking and optimisation tools. It is then possible to produce both fabrication & installation drawings. In addition, there are configurable output tools for bending, welding & extrusion machines.

The new tools may be accessed from the main menu:

Extensive configuration capabilities enable the system to ensure that the machines selected are capable of fabricating the pipes.

Where necessary, the system will suggest design changes in order to make fabrication possible – for example a bend radius may need to be increased:

Some idea of the scope of the checking may be judged from the configuration options:
