I-Route represents a new approach to pipe routing during the early stages of plant layout studies and preliminary design. It integrates with any suitable host system and supports a neutral definition of the pipe routing problem. I-Route was designed to provide fast, scalable pipe routing solutions to industrial strength problems.
Using I-Route, you can simultaneously route hundreds of pipes within 3D plant design systems, rapidly evaluate multiple configurations, explore the interaction between equipment layout and pipe routes, and produce interference-free routes.
Key features of I-Route include:
An automation component with a set of properties and methods for describing the problem space
Simple, rule-based algorithms
No dependence on reference data, pipe specifications, or material classes, as all data is passed through the interface
Very fast execution time
Return of the turning points of the centerline representing the generated pipe routes
Support of integration with any system that is capable of describing a set of obstructions using simple 3D shapes
