Equipment: Cable channels
Equipment: Cable channels – a specialized application KOMPAS-3D for the rapid design of branched channels of cable systems.

The application allows you to quickly build cable channels without a pre-created trajectory. Elbows and tees are automatically installed at bends and junctions according to the style of the cable duct.

Building is recommended to start after the main equipment models are placed in the project. A cable channel can start and end at any point in space, including a connecting point or connection point.

The connection point contains parameters for the section of the cable channel and is used for quick selection of a style.

In the style, you can specify a set of fasteners for connecting cable channels. The application will automatically calculate the required number of fasteners depending on the length of the channels. Fastener models are not created, which does not load the model. Fasteners can be added to the kit from help systems, files, or entered manually.

In the course of work, you can manually add elements that will be part of the cable channel.

The cable channel profile is defined using the fragment library. In the fragment, closed contours of parts are built: bodies, covers, and other elements. Dimensions and variable parameters are set. The contour of each part is placed on a separate layer.

Using the simulated channel, you can build a drawing and generate a specification for the subsequent order of materials.
