Abstract :
The massive amount of data required to design petrochemical plants lends itself to computer applications. The basic computer graphics (CAD/CAE) system capabilities and operation are explained and the various benefits to be realized are discussed. Fluor´s application of CAD/CAE is described, along with a discussion of CAD/CAE operator training and data safeguarding. A case history of Fluor´s operation of graphics for 1982 is presented for information. The potential for future graphics usage and overall computer applications to petrochemical plant design is discussed.
