Operational Impact
The use of Bentley’s AutoPIPE and STAAD’s pipelink function allowed RISE to effectively coordinate among the multi-discipline design team, avoiding potential delays. The software enabled the creation of linked models of the piping and framework, automatically joining the beams at support points. This not only ensured the piping system’s flexibility to react to extreme temperatures but also helped reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The use of Bentley’s integrated structural modeling (ISM) solutions for coupling analysis eliminated inefficient work processes and improved analysis efficiency. This led to a decrease in design costs and a more economical design. The success of this project has convinced RISE of the immense benefits of making coupling analysis the standard design method for plant engineering and construction. | |
Quantitative Benefit
The application’s processing speed enabled the design team to analyze more complex models in a shorter amount of time. | |
Bentley applications reduced coupling analyses by 10 times, compared to using other software options. | |
Using Bentley’s ISM solutions reduced inefficient work processes, including checking differences in design policies among departments. | |
