BOCAD-3D - ZHI parametric vessels process

BOCAD 3D – Pressure vessel and tank module

• Module dedicated to pressure vessel

• Large range of macros
– Shell / skirt
– Dish end
– Nozzles
– Flanges, gaskets and fittings (according to ASME and ANSI)
– Supports / legs / lugs
• Automatic generation of 3D model
– Definition of geometry and parameters in datasheet (xls)
– Possibility to execute step by step or in one time the complete model
• Different possibilities of enhanced automatic outputs and BOM
– Nozzle BOM
– Nesting of drawing
– …
 Examples of applications
Horizontal Vessel

Tank
Vertical Pressure Vessel
Main corpse elements

• Shell and skirts

– Definition of geometry / shell courses in a table
– Height of courses / thicknesses
– Weld lines angles
– Other parameters :
grade, designation, typical weld
can be defined for each courses
– Weld elements to test clashing with nozzles
Main corpse elements

• Dishend
– Ellipsoidal
– Hemispherical
– Possibility to create it in several parts
slice or crown and petals
– Output : blank plate calculated
with formula
Flanges and gasket library

• Flanges
– ASME B16.5
• Welding neck, Slip on, Lapped, Threaded,
Blind, Socket welding, Long weld neck
• Raised face, Ring joint facing, Flat face
– ASME B16.47 serie A and B
• Welding neck and blind
• Raised face, Ring joint facing, Flat face

• Gaskets
– ASME B16.5, ASME B16.20,
ASME B16.21, ANSI B16.20
Flanges and gasket library

• Specific flanges
– Long weld neck and heavy barrels (Texas Flanges)
– AWWA : steel-ring and steel-hub
– Self reinforced nozzles customisable
Fittings

• Elbows and tees

– ASME B16.9:
• elbows 45°, 90°, 180° long radius
• tees: straight and reducing outlet
– ASME B 16.28:
• 90°, 180° short radius
– BOCAD allows also
to generate automatically the right elbow
between several pipes
Nozzle

• Nozzle macro
• Automatic creation
of all components of a nozzle
• Position, geometry, properties defined
in an Excel table for all nozzle of the project
BLIND

REPAD

GASKET
NECK = pipe or
FLANGE
rolled plate
Nozzle

• Nozzle on dish, on shell,…

• Position:
– Elevation / distance from datum line
– Orientation
– Offset
• Repad defined by thickness and diameter
– For all position
– Output of unfolded plate
• DAVIT
– Library of DAVIT
– Positioned automatically with nozzle
Reinforcing pads

• Repad with nozzle

– Created on dish or shell
– Centred or with offset
– Blank plate automatically calculated
• Repad – ring plate (for saddles)

• Repad – free shape

Lifting lugs

Outside vertical lifting

Mobile trunion
Basic liftings
Simple trunion Dishends liftings
Saddles and legs

• Saddles for horizontal vessels

• Legs

Flat facing shell With Re-pad Angle facing shell With Re-pad
Supports

• Vertical support
• On shell
• Bottom of skirt
• On cylindrical
or trapezoidal shapes
Automatic vessel

• Global definition of the vessel

• From datasheet  3D model
• Excel datasheet :
– Global datasheet (references, vessel global datas)
