A logical designing part includes a logical connectivity data storage that stores logical connectivity data, indicating a logical connectivity between plant equipments, including first end point connection data. A geometry data designing part includes a geometry data storage that stores geometry data that is graphical shape data in a three-dimensional space and includes second end point data. A data linking part includes: an automatic correspondence table generating part that compares first end point connection data with second end point data and generates a logical connection and geometry data table including correspondence data that links the geometry connection data and the geometry data of which first and second end point connection data are matched each other. A correspondence storage stores the logical connection and geometry data table. An editing part edits the logical connection and geometry data table on the basis of a user command.

An arrangement possible/impossible determination part of a piping order edit device: refers a pipe constituting a pipe list as a pipe subjected to determination; searches a main-branched pipe relationship database for a given pipe using identification information on the pipe subjected to determination as a search key; acquires a main pipe and a branched pipe corresponding to the searched given pipe; and, if there is a branched pipe positioned before the pipe subjected to determination in the pipe list or if there is a main pipe positioned after the pipe subjected to determination in the pipe list, the 'arrangement possible/impossible' of the pipe subjected to determination is set at 'impossible'.

CAD pipe arrangement and pipe relationship database validation

Disclosed is a design check knowledge construction system that adequately improves the quality of check knowledge and fully enhances the quality of a product, which is a final target to be checked. The check target knowledge definition section generates check target knowledge definition data, which is obtained by defining check target knowledge (check knowledge) that serves as a target field to be checked, in accordance with the relationship between a word group and words in the word group and with reference to technological ontology concerning technological basic intelligence input from a user input/output section. The word association section extracts a word group from a document data group associated with the word group in the check target knowledge definition data and associates words in the word group with each other in accordance with the document data group including a plurality of document data based on knowledge content.

A procedure generation apparatus has, in a storage unit thereof, a database in which a name of input information and a name of output information name are stored, associated with a name of a work. The procedure generation apparatus retrieves one or more candidate work names associated with an input information name from the database, displays the retrieved one or more work names, receives a selection of a work name from among the displayed one or more work names, retrieves one or more candidate output information names associated with the selected work name from the database, displays the retrieved one or more output information names, receives a selection of an output information name from among the displayed output information names, retrieves one or more candidate input information names each having a similar name to the selected output information name, from the database, and displays the retrieved input information name.

Procedure generation apparatus and method

The apparatus has an evaluated value calculating meansfor calculating the complexity of the object shape and the complexity of the modeling structure of the object CAD data input by the CAD data inputting means; a searching meansfor searching the reference CAD data in the reference CAD data basein accordance with the condition of said complexity; an evaluated value calculating meansfor calculating the complexity of the object shape and the complexity of the modeling structure based on the searched reference CAD data; and a displaying meansfor evaluated values obtained by the meansand the meanson the graphic representation defining its horizontal axis for the complexity of the object shape and its vertical axis for the complexity of the modeling structure. It will be appreciated that the man-hour for evaluating large amount of various models can be reduced by means of not using a CAD system.

A method for detecting shapes that are undesirable for efficient processing and which occur from tolerance conversion by comparing a geometric relationship of shape elements obtained from shape data before tolerance conversion with a geometric relationship of the shape elements obtained from shape data after tolerance conversion. An inappropriate shape is identified when the compared geometric relationships are not the same.
