Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger Revit Family Instant

Create a separate, invisible extrusion inside the family called "Maintenance_Clearance". Assign it to a sub-category like Mechanical Clearance and set its transparency to 90%. Extend this 600mm (24 inches) beyond the tube bundle pull length. This alerts structural engineers not to place columns there.

Use "Coarse" for simple boxes, "Medium" for cylinders, and "Fine" for bolts and mounting brackets. Step-by-Step Modeling Workflow 1. Define the Skeleton This alerts structural engineers not to place columns there

Do not model every bolt head or nameplate. Use textures or simple 2D masking regions for these details.

| Component | Modeling Approach | |-----------|------------------| | | Horizontal cylinder extrusion | | Front & Rear Heads | Elliptical or hemispherical revolve | | Tube Sheet Zone | Shorter cylinder segment between shell and heads | | Nozzles (x4) | Cylindrical extrusions (Inlet/Outlet – Shell side & Tube side) | | Saddle Supports | Extruded base plates with web stiffeners | | Pass Divider (if TEMA) | Vertical extrusion inside one head (visual only) |
