Pipe stress and structural engineers in offshore/onshore oil and gas, pharmaceutical, power, mining, nuclear and LNG have traditionally relied on a manual, paper-based process to communicate piping loads and support stiffnesses between the two departments.

This paper will focus on a new LEAN workflow empowered by GT STRUDL® and CAESAR II® for engineering tasks and solutions such as Intergraph Smart® 3D and CADWorx® for plant modeling.
