AVEVA Pipe Stress Interface
Add integrated pipe stress analysis to AVEVA PDMS or AVEVA Outfitting
AVEVA Pipe Stress Interface fulfils customers’ needs for an interactive and intuitive method of analysing piping stresses and designing supports. It saves time and effort by automating the two-way flow of information between 3D piping designers and specialist stress analysts.
- Two-way interactive interface between AVEVA PDMS or Outfitting and Coade's CAESAR II, [v4.50 or 5]
- Visualisation of pipeline deflections
- Suggested piping routes can be clash-checked quickly within the 3D model, reducing design iterations
- Pipe supports are transferred from the 3D design to the pipe stress system
- Customisation facilities allow the re-use of existing catalogue data
- User configurable to suit a company's working methods
- Open architecture, to allow future interfaces with other pipe stress systems.
Reduced man-hour costs
- Less time spent validating the design
- Less time spent correcting errors
Reduced schedule time
- Piping stress time savings in excess of 50% are achievable
Improved design quality
- Ease and speed of use encourages optimum design
Quick and easy to adopt
- Savings can be made immediately
- AVEVA Pipe Stress Interface can be used at all piping design stages from initial layout to final detailed design.
- The pipe stress system is selected from pipe branches in AVEVA PDMS or Outfitting.
- Pipe properties such as weights and wall thicknesses may be obtained from within the AVEVA project or from an external source.
- Data is transferred to CAESAR II via an intermediate file. The user can modify the order in which the stress system will be processed.
- Results, such as suggested re-routes, support loads and displacements, may be transferred back to the 3D model for further use.
- Design work, such as clash checking, pipe routing and support design, is completed in AVEVA PDMS or Outfitting.
