Places components such as valves, steam traps, strainers, tees, turns, fire protection items, and other piping specialty items. When inserting components, the software automatically splits the pipe (straight or curved) and adds the necessary mating components when required. This command also places surface mounted components (such as ultrasonic flow meters or penetration sleeves) that do not split a pipe run.

 

You can add components either during the routing of a pipe run or after the pipe has been routed.

The system uses the pipe specification, nominal diameter of the selected pipe run, and the geometry of the insertion point to filter the available components. For example, if the insertion point is not at the end of a pipe run or at an equipment nozzle, turn components are not included in the list of available components. When you insert a component, the software generates any mating and connection parts required to connect the inserted part to the adjacent objects.

When inserting components, you can use Tools > PinPoint Command and Tools > Point Along Command to position components precisely in a pipe run. You can select this command and then select a component in a P&ID to correlate the component in the P&ID to the component in your model.

You can insert an end component (such as a blind flange, cap, or plug) in a new pipe run on an open end of an existing run. The specifications of the pipe runs can be different. This technique allows you to add end components to the ends of runs that have restricted permissions, are in a different location in a Global Workshare, or use different reference data.

If you specify that the component should be created as a new run by selecting <New Pipe Run> from the Run list, the software populates the New Pipe Run Dialog with the properties belonging to the existing run (that is, the run you selected in which to insert the component). If the properties of the existing run do not match the defaults specified in the piping system, the software displays a dialog asking you if you want to use the properties of the System, Run, or None.
