At this point, we can input the details including Left Head and Right Head. Now we will input details starting from its length B to be 3000, diameter A to be 1500, height C to be 2100, leg size G to be 300, D to be the same as diameter, which is 1500, and saddle distances E and F to be 600. When finished, click Apply button. Notice that now we will get the new Vessel base. Click Close button.After that, close it, and we will design Nozzle position later.
1. Input the value of parameters on template dialog.
2. Click ‘‘ Apply ’’ and ‘‘ Close’’ button. 3. Close model window.

Now please look on the right, in the item of Equipment under Document List, and click Refresh. We will see that now the color of D-102 tag has changed to blue. This tells us that now we have already had the model, but have not inserted it into the layout of plot plan.
Click ‘‘ Refresh a Tag ’’ for update a tag No. D-102 will change to blue color.
Chapter 6-6 Heat Exchanger
The next equipment that we will create is Heat Exchanger. SolidPlant has prepared various types of Heat Exchangers. The model will tie to template to be appropriate for value and dimension setting. Piping designers can readily change parameters of Heat Exchangers. This is convenient when we use it.
Chapter 6-7 Create the Breech Lock Exchanger E-102A
Next, we will create Heat Exchanger as called E-102A in the equipment. Please notice that its color indicates that we have not had its model as of now. Go to Equipment Ribbon, and select the feature of Create Equipment.From the picklist, select Exchanger, and choose Beech Lock Exchanger which is the first one. And then click on the TAG tab and select E-102A from the picklist. We can see that its data is shown here. Click Create button below.

Chapter 6-8 How to place user defined Nozzle on Equipment
In the next topic, we will learn how to create Nozzle positions. This is very important as a starting point of pipe works or pipe routing. If we define a wrong position of Nozzle, our pipe routing will also be wrong both in terms of size and pipe spec.
Chapter 6-9 At the Pump P-103A
In the next topic, before we begin our practice, we will learn about Nozzle. Nozzle is indeed very important, because it is the starting point of piping works. In other words, it is the anchor point. The first equipment on which we will place the Nozzle is Pump. In the Pump Model, there are 2 types of Nozzles that we will use here, which are Suction and Discharge Nozzles. We can get the data of these Nozzles from the pipe spec that we have already created. Thus, the data of Nozzles that we use in our design will be certainly accurate. This is because before we can design Nozzles, first we have to create pipe spec of Nozzles for placing them on the model. So Nozzle is very important.
Chapter 6-10 Insert nozzles position on Suction and Discharge
After we have already got the model, we will learn how to place Nozzles. The first equipment that we will insert Nozzles is Pump. Now please open the Pump model called P-103A under Document List by double-click it. And the model will be opened. After that, go to Feature Manager on the left, then choose the tag name and right-click it, and select Set All To Resolved.
1. Double click a ‘‘ TAG No. P-103A ’’

in the equipment list.

2. At ‘‘ Feature manager ’’ right click

on P-103A.
3. Then select ‘‘ Set All to Resolved ’’.
Then, go to Equipment Ribbon. Please notice that we already have Nozzles here. If we want to change the properties of the Nozzles, we can use the feature called Create Nozzle, which can be used for both creating new Nozzles and changing existing Nozzles. Now click it, and we will see the panel called Nozzle Component on the left. The panel is composed of 2 tabs, which are Type and Positions. As we are active at the Type tab, please see below, and we will see data of the Nozzles of this Pump. Now select the N1 tag, and we can see the spec name for this Nozzle, and then select SP01 for it. For the size, we will use 8 inches for this Suction Nozzle. For End Type, which is the connection type, we will use FL, which is flange. We will see the record for this Nozzle that it is a 600-lb Nozzle.

1. Click ‘‘ Equipment ’’ ribbon.3
2. Click ‘‘ Create Nozzle feature.

3. Input the Value of Nozzle parameters for the ’’ Suction Side ‘‘ of pump by pick list ’’ TAG P-103A-N1 ‘‘.
After that, we will look at the second Nozzle. Choose N2 from the Tag picklist. For the spec, we will certainly use SP01. For its size, we will use 6 inches. For End Type, we will use FL. Then select at the record.
Now we have already got the model and determined its data. Next, we will look at the Positions tab. In fact, we have already determined from the template typical for the lengths of these two Nozzles. Now we can click OK.
