Abstract

Combining subsystems to build a fully integrated product is a challenging task in complex systems design. The integration of flow components requires a fast creation and validation of different pipe route variants. In this article an algorithm for the automated generation of pipe routes in a given installation space is presented. The pipe route generation is constrained to the usage of prechosen (standardized) pipe bend sets. The routes are rule-based manipulated and evolved using a simulated annealing optimization scheme.
