摘要:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing a physical computer aided design (CAD) model comprising a plurality of physical objects in a flow system. Each of the plurality of physical objects are joined at one or more physical linkages. An analytical model of the flow system is generated based on the one or more physical linkages. And one of the analytical model or the physical CAD model is automatically updated to reflect a change to the other.
摘要:
A combined computer-aided design (CAD) and analysis program includes a system inspector feature in a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows designers to identify a critical path among interconnected sets of components within a piping or a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system and provides pressure characteristics of the elements. This program provides visual feedback in an iterative design process.
