The components database in BOSpulse has been extended with support for storing element and node definitions. This means that you can easily share the specifications of flow equipment, including valves, pumps and compressors, between multiple projects and with your colleagues. You can save and load element and node definitions in the Model and Scenarios tab pages using the Edit menu.
Alternatively, you can use the components database window (accessible through the Tools menu) to create and manage element and node definitions.
The components database now also provides support for defining pipe schedules. A pipe schedule is essentially a table that maps pipe size identifiers to an outer diameter and a pipe wall thickness. New input fields in the Model and Scenarios tab enable you to select a pipe schedule and then enter the desired pipe size identifier. The outer diameter and wall thickness will then automatically be entered in the associated input fields.
When creating a new pipe element, BOSpulse automatically copies the pipe schedule associated with the previous element. In this way, you do not need to specify the pipe schedule for each individual element. The built-in database contains definitions for the standard ANSI and ISO steel pipe schedules so that you do not need to define these yourself.
With these extensions of the components database, you can build your piping models in less time while reducing the scope for modeling errors at the same time.
