Use Siemens solutions to design and simulate piping systems and mechatronic systems
Choosing solutions from the Siemens portfolio enables manufacturing companies to reduce plant design time and costs, improve the performance and reliability of installations, and minimize the risk of accidents and malfunctions, while ensuring safety and sustainability.
Thanks to tools like Solid Edge P&ID and Piping, it is possible to create precise process diagrams that are consistent with the 3D layout of the plant, facilitating the automatic generation of technical documentation.
The thermo-fluid dynamic simulation offered by Simcenter Flomaster allows engineers to analyze the behavior of flows in piping systems, optimizing configurations and performance even before physical construction.
The design and simulation of piping systems require careful planning, requirements analysis, material selection, accurate sizing, and judicious interference management.
The use of advanced CAD tools is essential to ensure efficient, safe plant design that meets the specifications required by the industry.

For design, you need CAD tools dedicated to process diagrams and 3D piping, such as Solid Edge P&ID and Piping; for simulation, you need software that calculates how fluids behave across the network, such as Simcenter Flomaster. Both solutions are part of the Siemens portfolio and are distributed in Italy by Var Industries.
Solid Edge P&ID and Piping is used to design the plant: P&ID diagrams, 3D pipe routes, bills of materials and isometrics. Simcenter Flomaster is used to verify how it works: it calculates flow rates, velocities, pressures and temperatures of the fluids in the network. They are complementary tools, not alternatives.
Yes. Simcenter Flomaster for Solid Edge automatically generates the simulation model from the 3D piping geometry, with no need to rebuild it by hand. Siemens states a reduction of up to 90% in the time needed to create and analyze the model.
Companies that design, build or maintain piping systems and mechatronic lines: machine and skid builders, plant engineering contractors, and manufacturers of cooling, heating, fluid transport and power generation systems.
