The following is a summary of what the piping logical objects stand for.

Piping Logical References
Piping components and equipment aggregate piping ports.
Pipe
Connectivity between two components. They aggregate piping end ports.
Line ID
A logical transport system to transport medium from one object to another.

Below are examples of a line ID:

  • Piping and Tubing logical lines transport fluid (oil, water and steam).
  • HVAC logical lines transport air.
  • Instrumentation logical lines transport instrument signals (hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical).

Line Members
A group of objects that constitute the logical line are considered the members of the logical line. A logical line can include both logical objects and physical objects. The logical object members of a line ID must be somewhere under the immediate parent system of the line ID.
Piping Port Types
  • End Ports: only pipe objects have end ports.
  • Piping Ports: for connectivity between piping components.

License

To create a piping logical system, you need the Piping & Tubing Systems Design license.
