Piping for a Waste Water treatment plant

Post by ikua »

We are renewing the piping of a waste water treatment plant. There for a lot of piping had to be plant.

I created a script including a menu, where you could define the pipes material, diameter medium. Color and fillet is updated automatically. Valves can be added (also with a script) an will move when pipe is moved.
A final script exports all the piping length, valves, bends, T peaces to an csv.

At the moment the menues and the script comments are mostly in german. If somebody is interessted in them i will github them (but have to learn it before). Some things are still a bit buggy but at all it is nice to work with the scripts.
Also a small script is used, to find overlapping pipes.

Very cool!
We're interested, please up this to Github. Also could your script improve the Flamingo Workbench in any way?

Nice work. It would be good to see FreeCAD adapted for use with publicly owned infrastructure (e.g. water / wastewater pumping stations, underground vaults, small treatment plants,...). I am not sure if your project is for publicly owned infrastructure, but either way, it is a good example. I encourage you to post it on github/gitlab.

Wow, very cool – I too will be interested to see your script published on Github!

Yeah! This is really what I'm looking for.
I'm eager to see the tools implemented by @ikua. Maybe they could be merged in the evolution of flamingo, which curiously is a dodo...

@oddtopus

Implementation on flamingo would be interesting but will be quite tricky I thing. Also my programming skills are more a brutal methode, so my code lacks often the simplicity. I am also fighting at the moment with github (never really used it) to try to upload the scripts. Hope i will be able to do it during this week.

Checkout Github on the FC wiki, and if you want a good git gui Gitkraken (though it's proprietary yet free for FOSS)

It's ok, take your time but don't be afraid to do the first step. I guess that many started without having a clear idea of all the thing.
Then day by day you get into it and discover new ways to do the things. Believe me: it's definetly worth to try!

This is cool!

Look forward to more project on plant room installation.

Just an advice: it's simpler to create your repository on the web page and then clone it locally with "git clone". After that you just need to setup in your local repository the username and email to perform the "git push".
At least that is what I remember.
