Research On The Development Of Horizontal Pressure Vessel CAD System Based On VB.net

The development of CAD technology has affected every phase in the process of industrial product design, and this brought great changes to traditional design method. Broadly used in chemistry, petrochemistry and other industries as an important equipment, pressure vessel have received great attention on their research and development. The combination of CAD and pressure vessels' design will increase the quality and efficiency of design and shorten the developing cycle of new Manufactures. But result from the considerable specialty of CAD software development, existing chemical equipment CAD software drop behind computer application technology and have a series of problems in development, maintenance, extension and upgrade. So it shows great values to figure out a practical set of chemical equipment CAD system.Petro-chemical pressure vessel, comprising four species including reactor and separator, is the outcome with the largening of scale in petro-chemical industry. The design of petro-chemical pressure vessel is a complicated design work of mechanical production. So it is of much important sense to guarantee its design quality, shorten its design period, and improve its design efficiency.With petro-chemical pressure vessel as the design object, this article has used the newest developing technology of .NET platform, database technology, FEA technology and advanced design methods, and developed a petro-chemical pressure vessel-CAD application system for Sichuan compressor manufacturing Ltd.. Main design of horizontal pressure vessel, parametric design & drawing of standard parts and intensity check can be realized in this system. This system mainly has also two...
