PAID: PIPING ANALYSIS AND INTERACTIVE DESIGN WITH THE STAND-ALONE GRAPHICS PACKAGE

Abstract

The kind of projects managed by Electrowatt Engineering Services Ltd., involves integral design of piping systems with supports and the qualification of such for various postulated events. The large number of systems, the growing complexity of the load cases and structure models require human assimilation of large amounts of data. An effort has been made to enlighten evaluation of numerical data and visualize as much of it as possible, thus eliminating a source of error and accelerating analysis/reporting. The product of this effort is PAID, the Piping Analysis and Interactive Design software.
