Abstract

The present study covers the possibilities of computer CAD (solid) design for the development of ASTM A36 Steel and DIN Steel (Alloyed) 1.6587 (18CrNiMo7-6) pipes, applying environmental and technical standards. The models are developed using SolidWorks Software which provides the ability to study the three-dimensional geometry of environmental friendliness through the specialized application Sustainability based on life cycle assessment (LCA). In real time, the models are tested for resilience in a computer environment, and data on environmental impact are obtained containing values of carbon footprint, energy consumption, air acidification and water eutrophication. The analysis includes data on material, manufacturing, use and end of life. The process of obtaining the data of mass properties of the three-dimensional geometry at the stage of computer 3D design is automated. A logistics plan is made through the selection of regional and transport principles. The present study gives a thorough overview how to apply modern technical means to optimize the concept of design—environmental friendliness—logistics.
