Modeling 3D Equipment
In this Module you will model a variety of 3D equipment, using the CADWorx
Equipment Modeler program.
Youll see how to model Pumps, Vertical Vessels, Exchangers, Filters, Flat Plate
Exchangers, and Steam Traps.
This lesson covers the entire listed items above, its a written roadmap and you can use to work
your way through the exercise. Congratulations! Youre on your way to Mastering CADWorx
Equipment Professional Software!
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.
