1. Join us on Twitter: #AU2013 Substation Assemblies for Inventor Arnold Fry Justin Eyre Manager, Transmission Standards Engineering Technologist

2. Standard Substation Design Duke Energy

3.  In this class, we examine substation assemblies and models for a utility. We also look into the lifecycle for substation parts in Autodesk® Vault Professional software. We cover the use of “Items” to keep track of information, such as purchase price, basic impulse level (BIL), operating voltage, specification information, and more. We discuss how to work in Inventor software and how to use the released bias or non-released bias to an assembly for insertion into your model. Finally, we examine how to keep track of legacy designs and greenfield designs in a standard format. Class summary

4. At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Establish required custom properties for parts and assemblies based upon Enterprise Asset Management attribute templates.  Define standard values for required properties by creating enforceable lists inside Vault Professional.  Creating and editing items for parts and assemblies.  Create item defined parts and assemblies by attaching to parent items. Key learning objectives

5. Duke Energy Transmission Engineering  5 Engineering Offices (Charlotte, Raleigh, Lake Mary, Plainfield, Cincinnati) Over 7700 Electrical Substations in 6 states

6. Substation Creation

7. Where to start a substation A standard assembly The ground plane is the X-Y plane

8. Start with the foundations Foundations need to be constrained to the ground plane and offset from the vertical plans Foundation

9. Catalog items get constrained to the to the foundations Adding catalog items

10. They are premade assemblies that can be used within a substation. They include structures and equipment arrangements What are catalog items

11. Structures
