AVEVA Launches New Pipe Stress Interface That Integrates PDMS and CAESAR II; Versatile Bi-Directional Interface Integrates Analysis and Piping Design

CAMBRIDGE, England, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- AVEVA , a leading provider of solutions and services to the process, power and marine industries, today announced the launch of its Pipe Stress Interface, a tool that provides bi-directional data exchange between its Plant Design Management System (PDMS) and piping flexibility and stress analysis tools, such as CAESAR II. The product will be available in March 2006.

Users will be able to integrate piping designs between PDMS and stress analysis tools seamlessly, without the need to re-input data, helping to cut down on time and costs in this otherwise lengthy and expensive process. The new product replaces STRESSC, which only offered a one-way interface and text functionality.

The Pipe Stress Interface will be an interactive and intuitive application that allows users to create a pipe stress system from existing pipe routes within the PDMS database.

The product will also have the ability to modify the order in which the stress system will be processed, choose the default flow direction and be able to configure the software for node increments, support positions, restriction of components to be transferred and allowable end conditions.

As well as CAESAR II, plans are in progress to integrate other leading stress analysis formats through the interface. Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA, commented: "This interface has been designed to be the next step in piping stress analysis tools. Its compatibility with a variety of formats and its two-way interface provide the level of integration and workflow support that this discipline demands."
