Integration of CAD/CAE into the Engineering and Design process.
ACFlow 2D
Product description
ACFlow 2D
is and AutoCAD® based solution that enables you to draw one line schematics such as Process Flow Diagrams, Piping and Instrument Diagrams and Mechanical Flow Diagrams in accordance with ISA standards quickly and easily.
Draw any of these diagrams without intelligence or assign data that can be used throughout the entire project life cycle.
Extensive symbol collection
More than 250 ISA symbols are provided in ACFlow 2D. User preferred symbology can be integrated into the standard library at any time.
Convenient operation
A pattern can be provided without knowledge of the underlying CAD system (at present AutoCAD ®) simply and intuitively. The user is supported by the intelligence of the behind it-standing object model. Connected parts are recognized as such and treated accordingly.
Constantness in all planning phases
By the complete integration into the ACPlant Designer® product family is completely into the planning process merged ACFlow 2D. As far as already during the pattern production admits the data are, they can be communicated to the object model, and are thereby to all project workers immediately at the disposal.
Piping and partial administration
An overview window makes at any time an overview possible of the existing pipings as well as the pertinent pipeline components. Also the element information can be called up over this overview window.
Document binding
To each element in the plant one or more documents can be assigned. Suitably are for it e.g. computations, data sheets or also pictures of the parts. Since the object model of each net job or over the InterNet with any javafaehigen Browser can be accessed, these information can be put to all departments at the disposal. So a mechanic on the building site can call a data sheet up of a certain armature or regard himself a in-scanned photo for easier identification.
Generation of parts list
Provided ACCESS® forms make possible a fast expenditure of all desired parts lists. Own user specific lists can be thus simply defined and used.
The following partial parts lists are according to standard provided and can be simply adapted to the own needs:
Equipment List
Instrument List
Armature list
Motor and Drive List
Pipeline List
Economy
The handling is extremely simple; already after a short training period patterns can be provided fast. By the enormous flexibility users many possibilities are to the ACFlow 2D at the disposal to adapt the system to his special requirements and to increase thus its efficiency.
