Overview

At present the – usually very costly - planning of piping systems in chemical, process and power-station engineering industries takes place in several separate, iterative steps, in which factors like operating efficiency, safety and availability are optimized. The planning of process engineering plants can be simplified significantly if the design engineer has the possibility to use modern dynamic flow and stress computations for piping systems. In this way design, economic optimisation and safety considerations can be carried out in one step.
