PVGEN PRO 3D
v1.0
PVGEN PRO 3D is an integrated software solution aimed at the engineering and manufacturing of Pressure Vessels. This unique industry solution is built on ProSteel 3D technology and specifically targets companies that use COMPRESS by Codeware for Pressure vessel design.
PVGEN PRO 3D allows users to rapidly generate an intelligent 3D AutoCAD based model of any pressure vessel by reading the vessel geometry and specifications from the equivalent COMPRESS file.
The 3D model generated by PVGEN PRO 3D contains all the geometric and material properties as specified in COMPRESS .
Once the 3D model is generated the user can then further refine it by directly editing various components, modifying clearances and adding items such as miscellaneous steel.
From the 3D vessel model the user can obtain the following:
- Bill of materials including the vessel and structural steel components along with a nozzle schedule
- 2D drawings including layout drawings cross sectional views and shop drawings
- CNC data output to various machines including Vernon Tool Pipe Cutting Machines, industry used beam lines such as Peddinghaus and plate cutters
Editing capabilities
PVGEN PRO 3D is built on ProSteel 3D technology. ProSteel 3D is recognized in the industry as a leader in AutoCAD based 3D Structural steel detailing software application.
ProSteel 3D is particularly useful when the user wants to edit or add supporting steel as well as miscellaneous steel. Dynamic ladders, platforms, handrails, catwalks plus an impressive library of connections are a standard part the program.
In addition, the user can at any point edit nozzles including locations and orientations.
Bill of materials and nozzle schedule
Bills of materials and cut lists can be generated at will. This can be in the form of a report or as a table. The report can be placed in the drawing in a user defined table form or generated externally to a file. File formats supported include *.dbf, *.xml, *.csv etc. The application comes with a powerful report writer that allows the user to fully customize the report output appearance and content including user defined formulas. PVGEN PRO 3D also produces a detailed nozzle report.
Component numbering and positioning
PVGEN PRO 3D automatically assigns part numbers to every vessel component as it is being generated. The user can control piece number formats including assigning prefixes and
suffixes. The application detects identical components and optionally assigns the same piece mark number.
The program can also assign piece mark number to all miscellaneous and support steel added by the user after the vessel is generated.
Drawing generation
PVGEN PRO 3D uses ProSteel 3D’s powerful detail center functionality in order to generate and refresh 2D layout drawings, section and erection drawings as well as part drawings. Depending on complexity, the 2D drawings produced can include full or partial annotations.
The 2D AutoCad drawings produced by the detail center remains linked to the model allowing the user to refresh the 2D drawing, as opposed to redraw, any time that the 3D model is changed.
CNC compatibility
PVGEN PRO 3D allows the user to produce different types of drawings by communicating with various beam drill lines via the DSTV format which is compatible with Peddinghaus, Control Automation, Ocean Machinery, Ficep.. to name a few
PVGEN PRO 3D generates the *.pmp files required by Vernon Tool Pipe Cutting Machines for machining of the cutout required in the cylinder components for nozzle placement. Communication with plate cutters is done via layered dxf output files.
