Users can add their own reusable libraries for pipe materials, pipe supports (including gaps, friction, stiffness values), valves, flanges, and expansion joints.expansion joints, and pipe materials. These libraries can be a time saver when creating and modifying CSiPlant models. For example, if a user imports or opens a model file with 70 guides of the same type spread out throughout the model, and then needs to make a change to the guide property, the user only needs to modify 1 guide property in the library in order to modify all 70 guides. This approach is a huge time saver as compared to having to modify each support one-at-a-time. Expansion joint library properties includes tie rod specifications.
CSiPlant’s temperature-dependent ASME material property library is not limited to piping materials, and includes materials for structural shapes including structural pipe, castings, forgings, plates, sheets, and bars.
