[QUOTE=de_ding]We are using Smart Plant P&ID. I am only the interface so I am getting Inst dumps, line list etc out of the SPPID.
VPE probably will do the same thing, except because it is Vantage product, it may work with comparator a little easier. So when you finish the PID, in theory, you will be able to populate the PDMS model with the pipe(all line info such as temp, pres etc), branches with all inline fittings in correct sequence. The Vantage Router then will route lines while all the pipers are asleep and finish a $800 million chemical plant overnight. Then some low cost engineering center, aka High Value engineering can press the button and isos will come out.
In real life, this saving of time is not that tremendous, auto router does not work too well because the rules are NOT easily defined. The devil is always in the details.
de_ding, or anyone else who have already used Auto Router,
Do you have an idea of how many percent of hours is possible to save for piping modelling using the Auto Router?
As you said, its configuration is not easily defined, but how many time is needed for that?
