Defines the properties associated with the pipe run.

General

Parent System

Specifies the parent system for the object. Recently used systems that are appropriate to assign as the parent system for this object display in the list along with the Select from Workspace and Select from Model options. The most recently used system displays at the top.

The parent system of the object must have an Approval Status of Working before you can change the Parent System value. If the Approval Status of the parent system is not set to Working, this value is read-only.

Select Interactively

Turns on or off the interactive selection. When this option is on, you can select the parent object in a graphic view or any of the explorers.

Select from Workspace ICON Select from Workspace

Displays the Select Parent System Dialog with the Workspace tab open. The workspace is the subset of the active model database you specified when you started your design session. Navigate the hierarchy to select the parent system, and then select OK.

Select from Model ICON Select from Model

Displays the Select Parent System Dialog with the Model tab open. The model is all the objects in the active model database, including those that are not part of your workspace. Navigate the hierarchy to select the parent system, and then select OK.

Name

Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name is not defined by a rule, User Defined displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, TagName Rule displays. If you enter a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.

Defaults

Defaults is not available when you modify a pipe run. See How Pipe Defaults Are Evaluated if you need to understand how defaults are chosen.

The software evaluates defaults based on the piping input parameters that you specify while creating or modifying a pipe run. The following work process diagram illustrates the logical sequence followed by the software while evaluating defaults:

Default properties

If the defaults are set for both the pipeline and piping system, then the software prioritizes pipeline defaults during evaluation.

S3D_Pipe_System ICON Piping System Defaults

Uses the parent piping system properties as the defaults for the pipe run.

S3D_Pipeline ICON Pipeline Defaults

Uses the parent pipeline system properties as the defaults for the pipe run.

S3D_Pipe_Run ICON Pipe Run Defaults

Uses the properties from an existing pipe run as the defaults for the new pipe run.

Last Used Defaults

Uses the last saved properties for the pipe run.

Com_ManageProperties ICON Mandatory Properties

Specification

Specifies the pipe specification to control the pipe run. Only those pipe specifications that are allowed in the pipeline that you selected appear. You assign pipe specifications to pipeline systems in the System and Specifications task. You define pipe specifications in the reference data. See the Piping Reference Data Help for more information on defining pipe specifications.

Nominal Diameter

Specifies the nominal pipe diameter (NPD) to use for this pipe run. The pipe specification controls the available NPDs in this list. If you select an equipment nozzle as the starting point of your pipe run, the software automatically uses the NPD of the nozzle as the NPD of the pipe run. You can select the NPD units to display on a session file basis using the Menu Com_Menu > Options Command on the Units of Measure Tab (Options Dialog).

Service Limits

When you select a Specification and Nominal Diameter, the software automatically retrieves the temperature service limits according to the rules defined in the catalog. The software also calculates the maximum pressure limit based on the Temperature, Specification and Nominal Diameter. Edit the various service limit combinations as needed. If your pipe specifications are material-driven, we still recommend that you specify at least one set of temperature and pressure values for the pipe run.

Minimum Slope

Specifies the Minimum Slope value for the pipe run. The Slope box is dimmed by default. Select Minimum Slope S3D_Not_Sloped to enable the slope box. You can specify the slope as a ratio, a percentage, or in degrees.

Specifies the slope value. Select a value from the list or type the slope value in the Slope box. You can change the units of measure for the slope using Menu Choose Columns ICON > Options Dialog > Units of Measure.

SHARED Tip Typing 0 degree or 90 degrees in the Slope box adds the Horizontal and Vertical options to the list.

S3D_Low_Point Low Point

Indicates that the selected pipe run end point is the lowest point on the pipe run.

S3D_High_Point High Point

Indicates that the selected pipe run end point is the highest point on the pipe run.

Multiple Slopes

Indicates that the pipe run slopes both up and down. After you define multiple slope orientations on a pipe run, you cannot clear this selection.

We recommend that you only route pipe runs with multiple slope orientations when absolutely necessary.

CADWorx_Insulation_Manager Insulation Properties

Insulation Type

Specifies the type of the insulation. To change the options on the list, edit the Insulation Purpose select list in Catalog.

Insulation Specification

Select the insulation specification for the run. Available insulation specifications are defined in the reference data.

Insulation Material

Specifies the material of the insulation. If Insulation Specification is set to use the insulation defined by the equipment object, this field cannot be changed. However, if Insulation Specification is manually defined, select the insulation material from those available from the reference data.

The list contains the last five insulation materials selected. Select More to browse the catalog for the insulation material to use. If you set this field to Not Insulated, the Insulation Thickness field is disabled. If you set this field to Use Run Material, the along leg feature inherits the insulation material from the duct run.

To change the options on the list, edit the Insulation Material select list in Catalog.

Insulation Purpose

Specifies the purpose of the insulation. If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the information in the Insulation Purpose box. However, if Insulation Specification is manually defined, you can select the purpose of the insulation in this box. If Insulation Specification is a selected reference data insulation specification, the software reads the purpose from the insulation specification from the reference data and displays it here.

To change the options on the list, edit the Insulation Purpose select list in Catalog.

Insulation Temperature

Specifies the temperature. Include the temperature unit of measure (K for Kelvin, F for Fahrenheit, or C for Celsius for example) when specifying this value.

Insulation Thickness

Specifies the thickness of the insulation.

Piping

If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the value in the Insulation Thickness box. However, if you manually entered the insulation specification, you must provide a corresponding insulation thickness value as per the specification. If you selected an insulation specification from the available list, the software automatically displays the corresponding thickness value as per the specification.

HVAC

If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Material box, this property is unavailable.
