Vicinity Routing Rule-based equipment specific patterns
Free Space Routing Routing in priority order for lowest cost
Routing through Point Clouds • A collaborative project with Bitwyse
Automatic Component Placement • All driven from process data • Basic Components • Tees • Reducers • Spec Breaks • Control Valves • Flow Elements • User-Defined Inline components • Spec Driven (minimal data requirements)
All Driven from Process Data User-Defined Inlines Branch
Tees With rule-based selection of tee type
Reducers Placed to minimize piping cost
Spec Driven • Simple Spreadsheet Table Interface
AutoRouter Manipulation Router Menu • Pipeline Freezing • Partial • Complete • Placeable components • Slideable Components RouteManual RouteUnRouteModifySlideSupports
Frozen Line or Before Completely frozen Partially frozen
Partial Freeze • Freeze a single segment • Freeze a selected range of points • Freeze non-sequential segments
Placeable Components • Drag, place, and/or rotate and the pipeline follows
User Rules • Equipment • Geometry • Physical representation • Obstacle space • Mass properties • Nozzle Placement • Vicinity Routing • Inline Components • Geometry • Attributes • Project Setup Variables • Spacing, routing planes, pipeway levels, reserved spaces, …
Geometry Rule – Example I (The PACKAGED_EQUIPMENT is composed of element BASEPLATE with geometry = box x-dimension = width y-dimension = length z-dimension = inches-or-mm(6.0 150.0) local-x-origin = width / -2.0 local-y-origin = length / -2.0
Geometry Rule – Example II element package geometry = box x-dimension = width - inches-or-mm(6.0 150.0) ; less 3 inches inset on both sides y-dimension = length - inches-or-mm(6.0 150.0) z-dimension = height - baseplate.z-dimension local-x-origin = package.x-dimension / -2.0 local-y-origin = package.y-dimension / -2.0 local-z-origin = baseplate.z-dimension
Nozzle Rules – Example (For STORAGE_TANK nozzles WHEN nozzle.type is manway LOCATE nozzle with element = tank face = body distance = inches-or-mm(30.0 750.0) angle = away-from-pipeway ...)
Vicinity Routing Rules - Example (From PACKAGED_EQUIPMENT GO nozzle-direction (10 * pipeline.diameter) AND GO up (inches-or-mm(60.0 1500.0)) )
Router Settings • Many “rules” are settings in PlantWise • Routing Plane Offset • Minimum Line Spacing • Allow Tees at Corners? • Pipeway Spacing Round-off • …
Model and Data Management • Report Writer and Highlighting • Interfaces • Multi-model support • Compare • Fenced Export • Integration • Proximity Checking
