Join us on Twitter: #AU2013 Substation Assemblies for Inventor Arnold Fry Justin Eyre Manager, Transmission Standards Engineering Technologist

Standard Substation Design Duke Energy

 In this class, we examine substation assemblies and models for a utility. We also look into the lifecycle for substation parts in Autodesk® Vault Professional software. We cover the use of “Items” to keep track of information, such as purchase price, basic impulse level (BIL), operating voltage, specification information, and more. We discuss how to work in Inventor software and how to use the released bias or non-released bias to an assembly for insertion into your model. Finally, we examine how to keep track of legacy designs and greenfield designs in a standard format. Class summary

At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Establish required custom properties for parts and assemblies based upon Enterprise Asset Management attribute templates.  Define standard values for required properties by creating enforceable lists inside Vault Professional.  Creating and editing items for parts and assemblies.  Create item defined parts and assemblies by attaching to parent items.

Substation Creation

Where to start a substation A standard assembly The ground plane is the X-Y plane

Start with the foundations Foundations need to be constrained to the ground plane and offset from the vertical plans Foundation

Catalog items get constrained to the to the foundations Adding catalog items

They are premade assemblies that can be used within a substation. They include structures and equipment arrangements What are catalog items

Structures

Equipment arrangement

Low-Side

Fence

Ground Grid

Conduit Connect from equipment to pull box

 Give length  Show connections Tube and Pipe

Connect catalog components together Calculates cable lengths
