This section describes the methods and procedures to model and extract jacketed piping systems. All aspects of jacketed piping can be accomplished using the current version of Smart 3D. There are currently no specific tools for Modeling Jacketed Piping as one pipeline or to perform the routing of both internal and external piping in a single step. However, there are enough capabilities within the product and in the notation capabilities within the ISOGEN interface which makes it possible to create all the model graphics and necessary drawings to satisfy material requirements and to communicate fabrication and erection requirements through standard Smart 3D drawing output. This method, referred to hereafter as Redundant Modeling, requires that piping materials are placed in the Smart 3D model for both the external and internal portions of the jacket piping system.

Redundant Modeling

Redundant modeling is a method where internal piping (the core) is contained in one pipeline, and the external piping (the jacket) is overlaid on the internal piping in a separate jacket pipeline. This allows for the independent extraction of internal and external piping materials, using ISOGEN, without any problems with overlapping segments. For example, if piping area 01 has the requirement for jacket piping systems, then create an associated pipeline to contain the external piping. Redundant modeling is the best way to handle jacket piping systems when the contractor's scope includes detailed fabrication drawings, isometric drawings, material procurement, and precise configuration depiction.

Interference Checking

The interference checking service might find many false clashes between the jacket and core.

Isometric Extraction

We recommend that you use the same Isogen options for both internal and external extractions. This method reduces the risk of inconsistent isometric settings between the two extractions. If you make the line ID unique by adding a 'J' suffix to the line sequence number, then this will be enough to separate the two parts of the jacket system using the same line ID format. However, when the project dictates that the two lines, internal and external, are of different line ID formats, separate Isogen options files, identified by separate Intergraph default sets should be used.

Orthographic Drawing Production

There are no special requirements for orthographic drawing except for the vector hidden line settings. If it is required to show the internal pipe as dotted inside of the jacket pipe, then setting the 'Visible Only'/'Visible and Hidden' toggle to 'Visible and Hidden', and the 'Cleanup' option to 'On', will provide the appropriate results. You can define any special labeling requirements and can set up as normal to meet your requirements.
