Preface

The Tubing Diagrams product provides customers with a complete set of tools to create, modify, analyze, and document their Tubing Diagrams (TUD) designs. 

Specifically, this product provides you with the capability to create and manage logical designs of tubing systems using industry standard conventions, terminology, and practices.  The tools are focused on creating an intelligent diagram that captures all appropriate design information. With this intelligent diagram design, the user is able to more productively create and validate designs.  In addition, the captured intelligence can be reused for downstream design processes, which provides additional benefit to the customer's overall design process. 

General layout and design tools are provided to place, locate and manage equipment, components and tubing lines.  In addition, capabilities are provided to quickly annotate diagrams with intelligent annotation, query/analyze/validate design information, and to generate appropriate report information.  All of these design tools are provided via a highly intuitive and productive user interface that allows the user to quickly create, modify, and manage designs.

Together with other products, the Tubing Diagrams product gives users the power to manage their tubing systems from initial design to ship or plant operations, in a completely flexible
