AVEVA Outfitting 12.0

Piping Features

Outfitting's Piping functions build a fully detailed model of all piping systems, based on component catalogues and engineering specifications. From this model, Piping General Arrangement drawings, isometric drawings and bills of quantity are produced.
A full range of automatically generated piping isometrics is available, from complete system isometrics, through to fabrication and erection isometrics and individual spool drawings. Options are available to fit any given national, company or project requirement.
Piping integrates with AVEVA Multi-Discipline Supports for the detail design of pipe supports, and with specialist pipe stress applications, via the AVEVA Pipe Stress Interface. Custom interfaces to flow calculation systems, wall thickness calculation and other software can easily be created.
The Automated Pipe Routing function allows a preliminary route and MTO to be created very quickly and includes automatic selection of items such as gaskets and flanges.
The Quick Pipe Routing function uses the mouse pointer to specify changes in pipe direction, either in absolute terms, or relative to other model features. The route can be orthogonal or non-orthogonal. Components can be positioned explicitly or using feature snapping. The route can be completed automatically where completion is predictable.
Sophisticated modification capabilities include highly interactive graphical editing and functions to apply specification and pipe bore changes across the line.

Using pipe assemblies speeds up design work

Piping Assemblies such as vents, drains or control sets can be added to the design as an entity. Existing configurations can be saved as Assemblies and reused elsewhere.
All drawings have associative dimensions and intelligent annotations, and can be updated automatically in line with design changes.
Accurate MTO information can be generated on each sheet or drawing, or via separate reports.
Pipe production checks ensure that the design easily fits the capabilities of the machines to be used. Flange rotation checks ensures that bolt holes in mating flanges are correctly aligned.
