The document describes CADISON Pipe Support Modeler, which allows users to easily create and edit secondary pipe supports. It provides predefined support types and enables customization of supports through options like profile orientation, offset, insertion points, and editing of existing supports. The software includes features for clash detection, bill of materials generation, rendering, and creating hookup drawings of supports. It aims to improve productivity for modeling secondary pipe supports.

CADISON Pipe Support Modeler
CADISON® Pipe Support Modeler
Pipe Support Modeler assists the user to create and edit
the secondary supports in an easy and intelligent manner.
Assistant Secondary Support features enable the user to
create multiple and different types of supports from
predefined supports. A user-friendly GUI provides flexibility
by allowing the user to create variations in predefined type of
supports during the data entry stage for e.g. offset,
orientation and industry validations. Supports created using
‘Create Support’ wizard are both constructible and erectable.

Profile Orientation Inbuilt intelligence in profile orientation
options provides flexibility to create multiple types of
supports by changing the orientation of horizontal and
vertical members. It also validates the combination of profile
orientation based on the support & profile type selected in
the GUI.

Can select different profiles for horizontal, vertical
members. Can select orientation to suite requirement.
? to create support with or without base plate, user
Option
can select the base plate from available catalogs in
MATPIPE.

Intelligent design validation in GUI avoids creation of
irregular / invalid supports.
Support Types The user can select type of support from
various predefined types available. Based on selection of type
of support, corresponding illustrative image are displayed on
the dialog. This enables user to visualize the support created
and enter the required dimensions accurately.

Offset feature enables users to shift horizontal profile to
support welding and additional flexibility to position
horizontal member to suite various position requirements.
An intelligent GUI validates and enables valid orientations of
horizontal and vertical profiles as per the selected support &
profile type for horizontal, vertical members.
Insertion Points Additional insertion points at structure level
provide better placement and alignment in 3D environment.
These are consistent irrespective of type of profile used as
they are implemented at support level and easy to align with
pipe/foundation/support surface etc. Edit Secondary Support
feature will honor the insertion point selected by user at the
time of placement and recreate the structure as per updated
parameters to save time in updating the existing structure to
revise as per the revised parameters entered in wizard.

Edit Secondary Support
This feature enables the user to modify the existing support
in an easy manner. The edit feature recognizes the support
created using create support wizard. It will fetch the
parameters entered at the time of creation of support. Edit
feature will honor the insertion point selected by user at the
time of placement and recreate the structure as per updated
parameters. User can also add/remove base plate from
existing support.
Apart from maintaining backward compatibility, the Edit
Secondary Support feature enables the user to select the
structure created in previous versions to recreate as per the
additional validations incorporated in the latest version.
Report Generation
? generation feature of CADISON can be used to
Report
generate list of supports at project level, in drawings etc.
? individual support or selected supports with in
BOM of
drawing can be generated.
?
All reports can be stored in the CADISON document
management with an active revision management system.
? to create reports in background allows generating
Facility
reports without interrupting design process.
? MS Word, Excel & PDF, generate multilingual

reports (English, German).
Hookup drawing
Hookup drawing feature enables the user to create automatic
production drawings of selected type of support/s. The user
can create hookup drawing for selected secondary support
as well as multiple supports of a specific type.
Each type of support has specific drawing template with
predefined typical to represent dimensions. There is a
provision to revise or replace typical to be displayed in
hookup drawing to suite organization needs and increase
adaptability for changing requirements of projects.
Number of columns and rows in hookup drawing table can
be configured in drawing templates. User can rearrange or
decide the number of columns of table as per organization
needs.
