CATIA - Piping DesignProvide 3D tools to create, modify, analyze, and document pipingdesigns based (optionally) on specifications in 2D Piping and InstrumentDiagrams.

Product overview

CATIA - Piping Design 2 (PIP) Product

creates and manages physical designs of

piping systems using industry standard

conventions, terminology, and practices.

The tools are focused on creating an

intelligent piping layout that captures all

appropriate design information. This intelligent

piping design capability enables the user to

create and validate their designs more

productively. In addition, the captured

intelligence can be reused for downstream

design processes, providing further benefits

to the customer's overall business processes.

CATIA - Piping Design 2 (PIP) features 2D/3D

integration with CATIA - Piping and

Instrumentation Diagrams 2 (PID) . This new

capability optimizes the physical design and

layout process by providing the ability to

propagate and streamline the data from the

functional PID diagram to the 3D detailed

design developed with PIP. Additionally,

CATIA - Piping Design 2 integrates the two

design stages (logical and physical) and

ensures that the design intent is captured

from the diagram at the detail design phase.

Users can also access piping and

instrumentation diagram lines and parts to

automate the 3D Piping Design. When 3D

Piping Design is driven from Piping and

Instrument Diagrams, the consistency

between the 3D piping and 2D piping

diagrams is maintained. CATIA - Piping

Design 2 (PIP) offers easy to use validation

tools that highlight inconsistencies between

functional and physical design. This level of

integration delivers tremendous benefits to a

customer's design process as it not only

ensures the quality of the design but

significantly improves productivity and

reduces cycle time.

CATIA - Piping Design 2 (PIP) provides

general layout tools for intelligent placement

of parts, automatic placement of components

such as bends, elbows, tees, and reducers. A

full set of routing and parts placement

methods allow users to choose the one that

is right for a given context.

Specification-driven design is employed

where required to ensure compliance with

project standards. Function-driven design is

used to ensure that the design intent is

available for any modification scenario.

Integration with a design rules engine allows

automation of the design process and

ensures that company standards are followed

throughout the design process. In addition,

full capabilities are provided to quickly query

design information and generate appropriate

reports. The product's comprehensive and

flexible setup functions include an easy way

to define project standards and catalogs that

3Copyright 2002-2004 Dassault Systemes - All rights reserved

help users get into production rapidly. The

product comes with a starter piping parts

catalog based on American National

Standard Institute (ANSI). All these design

tools employ a highly intuitive and productive

user interface that allows the user to create,

modify, and manage their designs quickly and

easily.

Together with CATIA Version 5's data

management offerings, [] gives users the

power to manage their systems from initial

design to ship or plant operations in a way

that is easily adapted to how the customer

works.

Product Key Customers Benefits

Intelligent "smart" object modeling and

customization.... CATIA Piping Design

provides a base object model that can

implement basic piping behaviors,

relationships and attributes. In addition, it

allows the user to customize the object

model by providing the ability to define

sub-classes and add attributes.

Provides user defined ID rules for objects...

Designers can define ID rules to specify

their company-specific naming formats

and conventions per objects. Additionally,

ID rules can be assigned to individual

classes of objects. When objects are

created in the design document, their ID's

will be generated automatically using the

user defined ID rules.

2D/3D Integration... This capability optimizes

the design process by providing the ability

to propagate and streamline the data from

the functional diagram to the 3D detailed

design. Additionally, it integrates the two

design stages and ensures that the design

intent is captured at the detail design

phase. Users can also access piping and

instrumentation diagram lines and parts for

3D specification-driven design. Piping

schematic-driven design dynamically

maintains the consistency between the

piping schematic information and the 3D

design.

Creation and management of intelligent

piping lines... Users can create piping lines

with standard industry attribute

information. In addition, designers can

create their own attributes to be included

on piping line definitions. Once a piping

line is defined, it can be shared across

multiple design documents to ensure

consistency of the piping design. Piping

Design 2 provides the ability to intelligently

manage the entire membership of a piping

line regardless of the fact that piping

members might be added or removed

during the design process. All piping line

attributes can be renamed, deleted or

modified easily.

Generate piping layout route definition...

Piping Design 2 provides easy-to-use

routing tools that allow the user to define a

space claim early in the preliminary design

stage. This capability allows the user to

perform early interference detection and to

uncover space contention early on. The

4Copyright 2002-2004 Dassault Systemes - All rights reserved

routing tools are integrated with the spatial

definitions allowing the designer to easily

route one or more pipes inside a pathway.

Associativity is maintained so that if a

pathway is modified, the piping will be

adjusted automatically. The routing facility

provides the user with multiple routing

modes including orthogonal,

point-to-point, directional, slope, and

quick route...

Evolution from preliminary to detail design

layout... Preliminary layouts can be

evolved to detailed designs using standard

piping parts and specification catalogs. Using

this methodology, designers can progress to

the final layout stage with greater speed and

accuracy.

Selection of specification-driven piping

parts... This function allows the designer to

select parts from a catalog using

specifications that are defined for a

specific project to meet a precise context,

such as temperature, pressure and

corrosion allowance.

Function-driven piping parts placement...

Users can capture the design intent for

selected physical parts to ensure that

modification scenarios are possible.

Designers can lay out and model a 3D

piping network either manually or

automatically. If parts are based on user

defined rules, such as branching or turning

rules, much of the layout can be created

automatically to optimize the total design

process. Parts placement orients the

selected part based on the defined

compatibility rules, ensuring that the

proper design is achieved. In addition,

connectivity is maintained automatically.

The user can now insert parts in the middle

of a stretchable/bendable pipe. The

product now supports the multiple

placement of such parts as elbows, pipes,

and pipes with bends.

Integrated dynamic rule triggering... During

the preliminary and detailed design

process, rule based design checking

actions are automatically launched to

validate the proposed design. For

example, when a piping design route is

defined, and then modified, a rule is

triggered to analyze the maximum bend

radius, minimum length and grip length. If

piping parts are placed and then changed,

rules are activated to confirm connectivity

and compatibility. Users can modify

existing samples or create their own rules

to control the graphic representations of

objects via knowledgeware.

Intelligent modification of piping objects

and routes... Users can revise layouts and

change route segments and nodes using

offset and clearance capabilities. Piping

parts and routes can be manipulated

directly by pushing and stretching points,

segments, and extremities. Piping part

modifications propagate changes that will

impact the design intent. For example, a

size change will automatically force part

re-sizing and placement. Similarly, a

specification change will force a new part

selection and placement. Connectivity is

managed automatically throughout the

entire modification process.

Query and analysis of piping parts and

configurations... Key properties are readily

available to the user at element pre-highlight.

Users can perform a wide variety of queries

and/or analysis to inquire about the specific

properties of any object in the design

document. This includes searching for objects

in the design model based on object class

hierarchy and attributes. Through a network

analysis tool, designers can also query and

analyze piping connectivity. Designers can

browse through a piping parts catalog and

search by catalog hierarchy, piping symbol

geometry, or piping part technology. Likewise,

they can search a piping specification catalog

by exact specification data or by query

definition or query results.

Drawing production customization...

8 introduces a customization tool for both

single-line and double-line drawings. For

single-line drawings, it performs graphic

replacement based on true and rolled views.

For double-line drawings, it uses a centerline

display with customized extension lengths.

Dynamic isometric drawing generation...

This powerful new function enables the user

to interface directly to ISOGEN, a product

provided by Alias and is considered the

industry standard for Isometric drawing

generation. CATIA provides an interactive

front-end to ISOGEN that allows range

definitions. This drawing capability

automatically generates accurate and reliable

isometric drawings from the 3D piping design

by using customizable data from the setup

feature. It is possible to define many isometric

types such as, erections, fabrications,

assembly, spool fabrications, and design

checks. This means the information is readily

presented for a given requirement. The ability

of the product to generate and review

isometrics interactively during the design cycle

significantly improves the capability of the user

to validate the design early on.

Powerful setup tools... The product now

supports the use of multiple graphic

representations for defining piping symbols

when creating catalogs. The user can manage

active graphic representations during the

design process. The user can customize

corporate data and define rules that will

enforce company standards: such as defining

piping specification and geometry definitions,

plus equipment catalog building. An ANSI

based piping starter catalog and starter

tables, enables administrators to establish

project specifications and standards that

ensures a quality design.
