AVEVA to Launch New Pipe Stress Interface

AVEVA announced it is to launch the Pipe Stress Interface, designed to interface its Plant Design Management System (PDMS) with piping flexibility and stress analysis tools such as CAESAR II.

Users will now be able to integrate piping designs between PDMS and stress analysis tools, without the need to re-input data, helping to cut down on time and costs in this otherwise lengthy and expensive process. The new product will provide a two-way piping interface designed to surpass its predecessor STRESSC that only offered a one-way interface and text functionality.

Additional benefits to the interface will be an interactive and intuitive application that will be able to create a pipe stress system from existing pipe routes within the PDMS database.

The Pipe Stress Interface will also have the ability to modify the order in which the stress system will be processed, choose the default flow direction and be able to configure the software for node increments, support positions, restriction of components to be transferred, allowable end conditions and allowable datacon errors.

As well as CAESAR II, plans are in progress to integrate other leading stress analysis formats through the interface. Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA, commented: "This interface has been designed to be the next step in piping stress analysis tools. Its compatibility with a variety of formats and its two-way interface provide the level of integration and workflow support that this discipline demands."

The interface will be available from March 2006.
