MODELING A PUMP

When you model a pump, the main concerns are the location of the suction and discharge nozzles in
relation to the pump base.
When these are right, the rest of the pump is usually not too much of a concern.
Modeling the base, motor , shaft, and coupling are important mainly for verifying you have room
around the pump for its operation and installation, and also to establish a spatial volume for the pump
to occupy.
Then you can see if something might be clashing or interfering with parts of the pump.

Start CADWorx Equipment Pro by double clicking on the CADWorx icon and

1. Click New
2. Enter in the name: P-1000.
3. Click Horizontal (for the orientation).

Then youll
4. Click the Components tab and
5. Click the first four buttons on the pump tool bar (see video).

6. Fill out your dialog boxes with values as shown in the following figures.

Placing the main components


In pumps, the main concern is locating the nozzles correctly
The only tricky part to a pump is getting the discharge nozzle oriented correctly. Also,
you will have to do some adjustments to get the nozzles positioned as needed in relation
to the base.

MODELING A VERTICAL VESSEL

In this section youll model the vertical vessel named 35-450.

This will be an interesting example, because youll model the various components that make up
the vessel, as well as platforms and nozzles.

Note: The top of platform has been modified.

MODELING HEAT EXCHANGER

In this exercice you will model a heat exchanger.


The Heat Exchanger youll model looks as shown.
You could model the exchanger yourself, step-by-step if needed. It would be a matter of naming it,
setting the orientation to horizontal, and clicking components from the first toolbar to arrange them
(elliptical head, cylinder, body flange, stiffening ring, etc.).
