Introduction to VCAD: VCAD is dedicated to helping pressure vessel manufacturers improve their design efficiency and enhance their competitiveness, offering a significantly better cost-performance ratio compared to similar products. It is currently the best software in China for assisting in pressure vessel design. VCAD chemical engineering drawing software, specifically designed for construction drawing design and manufacturing processes, sheet metal unfolding, standard parts, and automatic generation of bill of materials. After 11 years, the software has become highly mature and has gained recognition from a large number of users; there are over 60 legitimate users across the country. The software is updated every year; now VCAD2018 has been released, offering more powerful features. 1. Fixed tube sheet heat exchangers (BEM) and U-tube heat exchangers (BEU) are generated automatically. 2. The storage tank can automatically generate drawings for the tank bottom, tank top, tank walls, and ladder platforms. When used in conjunction with other standard components, it **reduces the design workload** for storage tanks; in practice, tank design can take 70% less time. 3. Powerful parametric design that generates construction drawings at proportional scales. For example, when creating custom ear mounts, it not only produces a 1:1 scale model but also automatically generates A3 construction drawings at the optimal scale. 4. Manhole fabrication drawings and flange fabrication drawings. 5. Automatically generate schedules and nozzle schedules. Since VCAD can draw a large number of standard and custom parts with data, it can automatically generate bill of materials. Especially for pipe end markings, it is very simple to create a detailed list: by entering 0, the list of flanges, flange covers, pipes, reinforcement rings, forged pipes (including A4 drawings at the appropriate scale), as well as bolts, nuts, and washers, is generated automatically. **Reduce the hassle of checking standards, calculating weights, and entering standard numbers, etc. 6. In-depth functional optimization of standard components for tower heat exchangers with classic strengths, such as the automatic generation of skirt diagrams and corresponding nodes for skirts, various type of outlet pipes, nodes, insulation supports, and so on. 7. More than 40 new features have been added, and a toolbar has been created to improve usability. For example, jackets, sleeves, and bottom separators. 8. Perfect gallery management: if you have many elements to handle, you can organize them using 4 galleries, allowing easy access to them at any time – either by using their visible names or by viewing previews of the images. Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 are carefully selected from over 2,000 sets of as-built drawings, and are very practical. TK4 contains a great number of practical tables, which are the result of the wisdom of many engineers. 9. The most professional guidance on drawing and the best recommendations for it; these help to improve the company’s standards, enabling you to achieve maximum efficiency and strengthening the company’s design capabilities.
