Point Cloud Scanning Software FEPipe

Point Cloud capability has been added to the 3D Output Processor in FEPipe. This allows the end user to validate their “as built” piping models and PV models. The program combines plant scan data (point cloud data) processing capabilities and 3D modeling utilities to give any plant staff member the ability to quickly and accurately compare computer model estimates of what is in the field to what physically exists. Both high and low resolution editing is provided.

Point Cloud with CAESAR Model and Cloud Editing and Measurement Tools

Interactive Output Processing - MiMOut FEPipe and NozzlePRO

Multiple models can be reviewed simultaneously on a region-by-region basis. Stresses for all models are presented in colorized tables. All reports can be sent to Word or Excel.

MIMOut Output Processor Lets the user simultaneously review point clouds, finite element models, CAESAR or PCL piping stress results, NozzlePRO, or FEPipe results.

For more information on this, please refer to MimOutUsersManual.pdf in the new program documentation.

New Drawing Tools FEPipe and NozzlePRO

The New Drawing Tools allow for graphical “CAD-like” modification of shell model details and addition of model components. Add or delete elements. Extract curves and generate elements in between two curves. Add restraints graphically and change thicknesses.

Complex Lifting Lug Boundary Defined

Lug is Auto-Meshed

Structural Beam Attached to Lug Via Nodal Space Coupling (Different parts of the

model are meshed separately and then the Nodes “Space Coupled” as if they are at the same geometric location.)

Once Drawing Entities are created, the Model can be interactively run from the Drawing Tool Panel.

For more information on this, please refer to V1DrawingTools.pdf in the new program documentation.
