The issue of pipe collisions
Thread Content
Let’s discuss the cheapest and simplest ways to avoid the problem of pipeline collisions between different specialties. I had to revise the piping design several times; it drove me crazy.
Is no one going to answer? I want to know too
It’s all done by one person, hehe (I didn’t work on piping for very long in the past; I was the only one responsible for handling all the pipelines). If cooperation is needed, each party can designate their own area within the team
By using PDS or PDMS software, MODEL REVIEW can be carried out among different specialties, or the software administrator can generate a collision detection report~~
When it comes to conflicts between different specialties, you need to be extra careful during the drawing review process; carefully check the parts that are closely related to your own specialty. Additionally, you must fulfill the responsibilities of the leading specialty and coordinate the resolution of issues arising among the other specialties.
It is only necessary to avoid conflicts at different elevations; by coordinating with other disciplines regarding these elevations, and if the heights vary, dividing the structure into multiple floors naturally makes it less likely to occur collisions.
For one person, it’s best to use 3D software
It’s best to use 3D software for one-person fitting!
First, you need to sort through all the pipelines; that is, the table detailing the conditions of the outer pipes must be completed. Then, determine the initial route for these pipelines. After that, organize the pipelines by layer, and it’s best to take diagrams of each cross-section to check whether everything is consistent. This way, it’s easy to see if there are any collisions. Creating 3D models is quite complicated and not easy to do; simply improving one’s spatial imagination will suffice
3D models, PDMS, PDS, pdsoft, etc. – these seem to be the most convenient and fastest options at the moment
For one person, it’s sufficient to consider the pipelines for various specialties; there’s no need to use 3D models, as that’s complicated. One needs to keep a clear mind, have coherent thinking, and a rich imagination
