Introduction to plant engineering

In this first episode of our new HiCAD video series Plant construction and pipeline planning Let's dive into the basic functions for creating pipelines. It shows step by step how a pipeline is created, specified and equipped with suitable components.

First, learn the command “Create pipeline” know which is used to define a new line including name and color. The selection of components plays a crucial role: either via a Pipe class to ensure compatibility or by manual selection from the database.

A central element in HiCAD is the leading edge pull, which determines the routing of the line. This works similarly to a 3D sketch and enables the exact placement of the pipe from point A to point B. After determining the route, the pipe can be automatically assigned suitable components - from flanges to pipe bends to reducers.

At the end of the video it is shown how the system can be flexibly expanded by integrating a second pump and installing a branch via a T-piece.

Efficient pipeline planning

In this video we introduce another efficient way to create a pipeline in HiCAD. We use the command “Create leading edge train via end points”to have the routing of the line between two defined points - in this case between a pump and a container - automatically generated.

A special feature: HiCAD automatically suggests several alternative cable routes from which the optimal variant can be selected. This allows you to plan the pipe route efficiently with just a few clicks. If adjustments are necessary, the command allows “Dynamic course change” intuitive drag-and-drop editing.

After the routing has been set, the routing is automatic Assignment with components. Flanges, elbows, pipes and seals are inserted according to the selected pipe class. In this example there is also one reduction used because the nominal connection width differs from the selected pipe diameter.

In addition, the video shows how other components, such as pipe holders, can be integrated into the system - an essential step for realistic and functional planning.

This video is ideal for anyone who wants to work even more efficiently with HiCAD and is looking for practical solutions for pipeline planning! 🚀

Isometrics and insulation

In this video we dive deeper into that advanced functions from HiCAD for plant engineering. In addition to the classic pipeline planning, this time it's about Insulation, isometric views and pipe plans – essential tools for detailed and professional system design.

First it is shown how one insulation is applied to a pipeline. With the command “Install leading edge cable insulation” Different insulation thicknesses can be selected, the display can be adjusted and isometric symbols can be assigned. In addition, certain components – such as flanges or fittings – can be specifically excluded from the insulation.

The next step is this isometric illustration the pipeline. This makes it easier to document and pass on planning data by: symbolic representation with dimensions, labels and parts lists is created. The function is particularly useful automatic division of the isometry on several sheets – ideal for larger pipe systems.

At the end the Pipe plan treated, another important document for manufacturing. He provides the Spools (pipeline sections) with detailed Views, dimensions and labels so that prefabrication in the workshop can be carried out without any problems.

This video is a must for anyone who wants their Pipe planning with HiCAD to the next level want to lift! 🚀
