PIpeline Alignment sheet software

(OP)
Hi All,
Is there any 3d software is available to create the pipeline alignment sheets from the Contour? If it is available those pipeline can be exported to Caesar to stress analysis?

RE: PIpeline Alignment sheet software

GE Energy's Smallworld and Blue Sky bluesky-world.com should be able to do what you want with elevations, but not sure about any interface to Caesar.


RE: PIpeline Alignment sheet software

Are pipelines (aboveground or buried) actually 3D modelled? That would be great for material counting and stress analysis but I don't see many other advantages as compared to plant piping which is pretty dense, multiple specs and commodities, etc.

Many stress engineers I've worked with liked to re-model pipe runs in Caesar themselves even though it was theoretically possible to just import a PCF (or similar) file, likely because it more familiarizes them with the routing and/or the import function was not 100% reliable.

I have tried with CIVIl3d and Inroads but I am not getting my desired result over there. Because I could not place Valves and Hot and cold bends on this software And it is not intelligent software, since when change the Pipeline route then the alignment sheet should be updated automatically.
