Detailed Feature List for PlantWise from Bentley Automatic Pipeline Routing
Fast automatic routing (usually less than one second per pipe)
Quality autorouting based on pipers rules
Scales up to hundreds and thousands of pipelines while maintaining fast autorouting performance
Autorouting driven from process connectivity
Intelligent free-space autorouter avoids obstacles
Smart on-pipeway autorouter knows about proper approach levels, routing plane turns, and berthing preferences
Specialized structure autorouting knows about vertical pipeways, vertical chases, suspended pipeways
Autoroutes through obstacles from point cloud to support brown-field applications
Automatic Component Placement
Positions standard components such as tees, reducers, control valves, flow elements, and spec breaks
Selects proper tee type
User-defined parametric components available
Intelligently auto-places key components such as control valves and routes pipelines through them
Intelligently slides other components along the routed pipeline to satisfy spacing and orientation requirements
Pipeline and Component Manipulation
Manually adjust a pipeline route and freeze it
Manipulate part of a route, freeze just that part, and let PlantWise autoroute the rest of the pipeline to match
Manually position key components (e.g., control valves) and let PlantWise autoroute through them
Slide tees, reducers, and other components along the routed pipeline path
