Description

Method for Establishing Pipe Space to Implement Automatic Pipe Routing The present invention relates to a method for setting up a pipe installation space to implement automatic pipe placement. Ship layout design is a design process that determines and arranges the location and installation orientation of equipment, as well as the routing of piping connected to the equipment. This process is carried out by considering various factors, such as interference between the installed equipment and piping, design rules, historical ship data, and expert knowledge. Because there are many design variables involved in the design process of such ship layouts, conventional ship design relies primarily on the design experience and know-how of experts. In other words, design experts proceed with a rigid design method in which they find the optimal layout by manually connecting pipes one by one or copy and modify similar ship designs. Recently, as equipment configurations have become more diverse and piping routes more complex, the time and resources required for piping route design have increased. Consequently, there is a problem of excessive manpower being deployed for layout design. In particular, for newly built vessels where reference data is scarce or insufficient due to the absence of similar vessels, design time is prolonged and there is a risk of failure in the piping system's flow performance.

Figure 2 is an exemplary conceptual diagram showing the installation space for piping in the engine room. Figure 3 is a conceptual diagram showing Figure 2 in cross-section. Figure 4 is a conceptual diagram showing an exemplary case of setting a piping installation space with a preset volume on the transverse side of the filler. FIG. 5a is a conceptual diagram of area A of FIG. 2, which conceptually illustrates the case where an interfering object exists in the pipe installation space. FIG. 5b is a conceptual diagram showing the state excluding the interfering object in FIG. 5a.
