Need 2: The layouts of the stress models so generated from 3D Plant Design systems should have already gone through first-level stress compliance checks performed by 3D piping designers, so that the piping layouts received by pipe stress engineers are already flexible enough to absorb expansion/contraction of pipes due to thermal loads. in pipe stress software such as CAEPIPE, such stress models should be generated directly from 3D Plant Design systems. Need 1: Instead of creating pipe stress models by manually entering layout, pipe sizes and materials, supports, loads etc. In order to meet pipe stress requirements, pipe stress engineers have all along felt the following needs. Most often, while routing piping systems, pipe stress requirements are not sufficiently considered. It is common practice worldwide that piping layout designers route pipes in 3D Plant Design systems with consideration given mainly to space constraints, process and flow constraints (such as pressure drop) and other requirements arising from constructability, operability and reparability.
