Model Studio CS Process Diagrams

The software allows users to create diagrams from intelligent components, store technical properties of equipment and process lines, automatically generate documents, and transfer input data for 3D design.

The current version is Model Studio CS 3.0. Service Pack 2, build 7680, was released in October 2026.

Process Diagram Creation

Design work is based on standard graphical symbols for equipment, piping valves and fittings, instrumentation, and automation devices. Components contain properties used for diagram formatting and documentation preparation.

• Place equipment and process valves and fittings.
• Create process lines and connections.
• Automatically route lines between equipment.
• Assign piping and process stream parameters.
• Generate labels and annotations from object data.

When a valve or fitting is added, the software automatically breaks the line while preserving its data integrity. When the component is removed, the connection is restored.

The software checks diameters where lines connect to nozzles. If parameters do not match, the system suggests changing the properties or inserting a transition component.

Equipment and Symbol Library

The built-in database contains standard symbols for process equipment, valves and fittings, and instrumentation and control devices. Users can search for components by parameters, create custom symbols, and save them for future projects.

The software can generate a 2D schematic symbol from a 3D equipment model. Associated technical data, including material, weight, and product specifications, is retained.

The database supports local and shared-access operation. This allows multiple design departments to use consistent component libraries.

Data Transfer to the 3D Model

Model Studio CS Технологические схемы supports generating design assignments for Model Studio CS Трубопроводы.

The assignment contains properties of equipment, piping lines, valves and fittings, and connections. Information is transferred in an open-format file and can be stored in CADLib Модель и Архив or on external storage media.

When processing the assignment, designers use diagram data to find equipment in the library, arrange the facility layout, and create pipelines. This reduces duplicate data entry between process diagrams and 3D models.

Automated Documentation Generation

The software generates tabular documents from intelligent diagrams:

• Equipment, product, and material specifications.
• Process equipment schedules.
• Process stream schedules.
• Lists of graphical symbols used.
• Process line specifications.

A specification generator allows users to review and configure data before producing documents. Tables are generated in Microsoft Office and directly in nanoCAD drawings.

Compatibility

The software runs on the nanoCAD Platform 24.1–26.0 with the 3D module. Windows 10/11 and Linux systems specified by the developer are supported.

The summer 2026 update improved nozzle handling, connection line display, insulation assignment, and equipment parameters.
