10 Trunnion Support
This chapter explains how to create a Trunnion Support.
10.1 Creation of a Trunnion Support
To create a Trunnion Support, click on the Trunnion button within the Create group located on the
SUPPORTS tab.
Trunnions gallery will be displayed as follows.
After the user select one of the standard templates, a message on the top centre of the screen will prompt
the user to Identify tube of datum pipe or support.
After selecting the pipe to be supported, the trunnion will be created and the Support Editor form will be
displayed.
10.2 Creating a Trunnion on a Pipe Component or on a Piece of Pipe – A Worked Example
Add Pipe 02200-B-42 located in ZONE-PIPING-

AREA02-WORKSHOP and BASE_SLAB_2 located
in SITE-CIVIL-AREA02 to the 3D view.
Before starting, set the support creation zone to

ZONE-SUPPORTS-AREA02-WORKSHOP from the
Storage area.

Select Trunnion from the Create group located on the SUPPORTS tab as shown before, select XTT04 from
the displayed gallery.
Indicate the pipe by the graphical selection. The trunnion is created on the previous piping component of the
position selected in the model and the Support Editor form is displayed.
It can be seen that most of the buttons have been greyed out
as they are not appropriate for use on a Trunnion support.
The support can be renamed by entering the new support name in the Name text box, or the user may use
the Auto Naming functionality as previously explained.
Enter the name A-TT04-1 into the Name text box.
On the top of the form, there is a drop down menu containing all available
trunnion bores. If the user selects a different bore the trunnion will be rebuilt
with the new bore.
Members of the support are displayed in some tabs on the top of the form.
XRT01 is the tab for the TRANCI, the ancillary which connects the trunnion
to the pipe, for TT04 this is just a pipe rest which signifies that the trunnion is
welded to the pipe.
