STHE is a program created for an engineering organization.
The main goal of STHE is to accelerate the process of developing technical projects and full-scale drawings of shell-and-tube heat exchangers in Autodesk Inventor CAD as much as possible.
The following restrictions were applied:
- manual addition of bodies for multilevel apparatuses
- manual specification editing with additional user elements in a solid model
- specific set of apparatuses designs
Achieved STHE features:
1. Automated shell-and-tube heat exchangers designing according to TEMA:
- front end stationary head - A, B, C
- shell- E, F, J, X
- rear end head - S, T, U
2. Automated creation of the main types of heat exchanger and units and the specification of a technical project for an apparatus.
3. Russian standards included in the STHE base:
- GOST 6533-78
- GOST 12821-80
- GOST 28759.3-90
- GOST 28759.4-90
- GD 24.202.02-90
- ATC 24.218.06-90
- ATC 24.200.02-90
- GOST 28759.7-90
- GOST 28759.8-90
- IS 26.260.454-99
- IS 26.260.461-99
- IS 26-2040-96
- IS 26-2041-96
- IS 26-2042-96
- IS 26-2091-93
- ATC 24.202.09-2004
Russian standards: GOST - Government Standard, IS - Industry Standard, ATС - Album of typical Constructions, GD - Guidance Document
As a result, the time required for the following processes has reduced:
- for technical projects development – by 3 times
- for full scale technical drawing development – by 6 times
STHE is actual and currently used by the Customer.
