Specifies any equipment component from the Equipment Components folder of the catalog and places an occurrence of it inside the model. You can modify the offset of the component, its relationships to other equipment, and other properties during or after placement. Using positioning relationships, the Place Designed Equipment Component command allows you to mate, connect, or align equipment components, and you can use common tools like the PinPoint command for precise positioning of the component.

The goal of the software's designed equipment component modeling capabilities is to allow you to build an equipment component definition in the Model database by combining basic shapes, ports, such as nozzles, foundations, electrical, and so on, and properties defined in the reference data.

Designed equipment component objects can be built entirely of primitive geometric shapes. For example, you can use the Place Designed Equipment Component command to create a designed equipment component object in the model and add lugs, using the Place Shape Command , to customize the designed equipment component.

You can also place a nozzle using a nozzle defined in the P&ID design basis (if P&ID design basis data is available).

Some equipment component shapes can be modeled more easily using solid modeling software. In addition to using the primitive shapes delivered with the software, you can import graphics from an SAT file as the geometry for the designed equipment shape. After the geometry is defined, you can then place ports to define distributed connections to the designed equipment.
