Description and Objectives

Description

In this exercise you will explore several of the new Structural Modeling features coming to OpenPlant Modeler.

In this workbook, you will focus on the design of additional 3D steelwork with the new structural modeling components in OpenPlant 3D modeler. You walk through the steps of creating new steel structure. During this exercise we will add an additional steel framework to support the new and existing suction and discharge pipelines of the pumps PMP-3101A & B.

Additionally we can add concrete foundations for the columns of our new steel framework.

In this section, we will learn how to use the SmartLine tool to create Structural path.

1. In view 1, change to Front view and Zoom to the pumps.

2. Execute the “Place SmartLine” command from the drawing task

3. Disable Join Elements

4. Draw the line accordingly next instructions in picture shown

6. Snap the first point as in picture indicated

7. Block your accudraw axis and snap at the bottom of the pipe shown in picture

Start here

Enter or block your accudraw axis and snap

at the bottom of the pipe shown here.


8. Block your accudraw axis and snap at the point shown in picture

9. Block your accudraw axis and snap at the point shown in picture

10. Finish the SmartLine here, as shown in picture. (Reset)

11. Extend and move the line to the right position

Enter/block your accudraw axis and snap at the point

shown here.

Enter/block your accudraw axis and snap at the point

shown here.

If required you can extend the line to align with bottom

of Pump frame


12. Go Top View

13. Select this SmartLine, use a fence to pick up all entities of the SmartLine

14. Move it into position as indicated in picture

Snap to the middle of the suction line, as

shown in the picture here.


Exercise 7: Create Steel frame with Structural ‘Curve Member by path”

In this exercise we will learn how to use the “Curve member by Path” on the already inserted SmartLine frame path.

When SmartLine “Join Elements” enabled, your steel members will be placed on the complete path as in picture below in one Action. But one cannot change or drop this frame. Possibly you will need to change one of the steel members afterwards, hence using SmartLine with Join Elements disabled, let you change or manipulate all steel members separately whenever required.

1. Drop the SmartLine, in case you didn’t do this in previous exercise, if you don’t want the steel members crossing each other)

2. Execute the “Place Curve Member By Path” command.


3. Set Properties as shown in picture:

a. Use: Beam b. Load: Gravity Only c. Material: A36 d. Section: IPBL200 (= DIN HEA100) e. Placement: Middle Top f. Rotation: 0

Keep Originals

When members are placed along existing MicroStation primitive elements, you can turn this option on to stop the member path element from being deleted. Tip: Fence and selection set contents are supported with an additional prompt.

Section IPBL200

Placement Middle Top.

Rotation 0


4. Select the SmartLine sections (3 lines), resulting in….

5. Adopt (stretch) the top beam in between the two columns. Notes: - Use the handle which appears when selecting the steel shape, which will

act as a Move Point to stretch it in the direction you require to do. - Use Near Snap point on the interior face of the column…

6. Repeat the action on the opposite side of your steel frame.

7. Reset to end the command.

Here you find the Handle to grab for the

stretch action


Exercise 8: Create Concrete foundation for the additional structural Steel frame

Structural Modeling Components has functionalities to add concrete slabs or foundations. In this exercise we will learn how to add concrete foundations to the steel frame from previous exercise.

1. Draw a 2d Block shape (rectangle) with 400x400 size and position it in the center at the bottom of the column. As in picture below.

2. Create foundation with “Place Surface Member By Shape” command.

3. Set properties accordingly picture…

a. Use: Footing d. Place From: Top b. Load: Gravity Only e. Thickness: 375.00 c. Material: 2500psi f. Base Offset: 0.00

Set Properties

here

Set Properties

here

400x400 block shape


4. Select the rectangle shape to be converted into the foundation as specified in properties before.

5. Repeat this action on the opposite side column of the frame. You can use Copy and Accusnap to position the copied foundation on the right location.

The foundation can still be adopted with the handles, whenever required…

400x400 Foundations

400x400 Foundations


Exercise 9: Adjust Steel top beam to allow placing ClampShoe supports later on

In this exercise we will learn how to isolate and adjust the previously created steelwork.

The Engineering team decided to use Bergen Power as the vendor for all supports in this project. In most cases we will use Clamped shoes to support where the pipes can rest on the underlying steel structure. We will need to adjust the top beam height to be able to use Bergen Power ClampShoe Type PB

We will move the Top Beam to allow 200mm offset with Clampshoe

6. Select a small area as highlighted in picture

7. Select context menu "Display Set"

8. Change to front view and zoom to the area of interest

9. Move the beam by using Origin center of the pipe by a 250mm value

10. Measure the distance between center pipe and top of steel (result = 250mm)

11. Select Context menu "Displayset Clear"


For non Microstation experienced users, use the following steps.

o Use Front view o Select the top beam o Right mouse, select Move o Snap on the beam top face o Lock your axis by an enter in the Nord direction o Move your cursor to the center of the pipe (Accu Snap should be visible) o Key in “O” for origin o Move down on the compass axis southwards o Key in 250 mm and give data point (left mouse click) o Right mouse click to reset. o Check (measure) the distance between center pipe and top of steel (result = 250mm)

12. Reset the view with “Displayset Clear” from the context menu

Note: A stretch on the whole steel frame is also possible, in the above mentioned case we only move the top beam.

8” (200mm) Pipe center as the origin

to move the top beam.


Exercise 10: Export to ISM for further use with structural detailing application

In this exercise we will learn how to create ISM Repository, so this steelwork frame can be picked up by Prostructures Prosteel or other detailing Structural application.

1. Select the Create repository from the Structural task

2. The Create repository dialog opens and proposes to save the repository With the name: Hydrotreater Additional Steelwork.Ism.Dgn

3. Hit Save

The application responds with:

4. Open this Repository with the ISM Viewer

5. See the result in preview


Exercise 11: Publish a composed i.model

In this exercise we will learn how to publish this model to an i.model.

When the additional steel is placed by the piping designer, we can send this model as a reference to the Support Engineer specialist. He will reference the i.model in his design session to add the required pipe supports.

1. Open File menu

2. Select Publish i.model

AdvancingPlantDesign_OPM_Session_2_3.i.dgn AdvancingPlantDesign_OPM_Session_2_3.imodel

3. Adopt settings as in picture shown

4. And hit Publish
