6.3. Example Scenarios

To make the possibilities of SuCri even more tangible, here are typical use cases from the everyday life of engineers and designers. These scenarios illustrate how you can complete tasks faster, more consistently, and with fewer errors using SuCri.

Initial situation: A new pipeline must be integrated into an existing plant model.
Procedure with SuCri:

Open the project and activate SuCri pipe specs.

Place the pipeline in the model.

Insert the matching supports using the automated placement functions.

Check if all connections are correct using the validation.

Benefit: Time savings, as no manual selection of support combinations is necessary.

Initial situation: In an existing plant, a support is to be reinforced and additional secondary components are to be added.
Procedure with SuCri:

Adjust the existing support using dynamic properties (Module 2).

Automatically place secondary steelwork components such as brackets or cantilevers.

Update the bill of materials to make changes visible for production and assembly.

Benefit: Changes are implemented directly in the model and automatically reflected in the documents.

Initial situation: A new plant section is to be executed in Advance Steel as a detailed steel structure.
Procedure with SuCri:

Install Module 3 and run the SuCri Patcher.

Insert profiles and connections in Advance Steel.

Perform validation and tests using the provided demo videos.

Benefit: Seamless collaboration between Plant 3D and Advance Steel, without manual re-modeling.

Initial situation: A project is to be transferred to the manufacturing phase; all documentation must be available.
Procedure with SuCri:

Open Module 4 and set up ortho templates.

Assign assembly numbers.

Automatically generate drawings and bills of materials.

Benefit: Consistent, error-free documents that can be used directly for manufacturing and assembly.
