Is there any software which can do both modeling and analyzing well of piping system?

There are too many software in piping field and i am being so confused about the function of each one. For example AutoPIPE, AutoPlant, PDS, PDMS, CAESAR II, STAAD PRO, CADwork,...

My professor have me find a software to design a piping system then analyse stress (heat, load, bending,...) of a electronic factory. After searching quite hard, i have found some name above, but some software can do both the task, but in some place it has to combine with other software (AutoPIPE in some document says it can design and analyse, but the other says its drawing can be translated to STAAD PRO; PDMS wil combine with CAESAR II, and so on).

Can you explain me about the function of the above software. And I need 1 complete solution only so can you recommend me a software (or a combination) to solve the both task (design and analyse).

Best regards,

All of the softwares you listed possess their own major function.  Some of these have different architectures that will not translate easily to another.  There must be a process developed to link each function together to acheive what you are looking for.  There is not an easy button.

There is no need to create a new topic.  Please keep forum clutter down.

oh, thanks. I know it í complicated. But can you tell me the fuction ò CADWorx, then CAESAR II in the plant designing process?

Hi

You can make link between PDMS and Caesar II with Stress-C for analyzing .
