api standard 609 provides a purchase specification for butterfly valves designed for installation between flanges, as defined in several ASME codes, which specify certain details, the features and nondestructive requirements including testing. If industries want to manufacture butterfly valves meeting standards as demanded by the plant engineering market, they should follow the design guidelines provided in the related api and ASME codes. In the present study, the design process of the butterfly valve according to api standard 609 was developed and implemented to create a 3-dimensional feature of the butterfly valve. This can be utilized in CAE analysis without any complicated pre-process of FE-modeling. The design process consists of seven steps, from the selection of class to the determination of the maximal disc diameter. Each step can be automated by using the Python script. Consequently, CAD data of the designed butterfly valve can be created using Xml-templates on the basis of a Grasshopper in Rhinoceros.
