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.
