SPECTRUM5 AUTOMATIC TUBING DESIGN SOFTWARE

Tubing and piping problems are solved today using trial and error techniques in real or CAD environments...  Now there's a fully  automated solution,

Tubing and piping is used everywhere in the civilized world.  It's the way we move most gas and liquids whether in tiny or huge amounts.   But designing piping solutions is often a non-trivial problem.   

Tubing design has slowly evolved from cutting and fitting tubing segments by hand through a trial-by-error process to current CAD programs that essentially transfer the trial-by-error process into a 3d computer environment... but until now there has been no tool that can automatically design complex tubing solutions.

This means for the first time, expensive, time-consuming design processes can be automated for many industry problems.  And, because the designs are exact and can minimize the number of tube segments, they can be manufactured at lower costs and to repeatable quality standards.

For some complex tubing problems, it's the first time that problems beyond human capabilities can be tackled.  Solutions that require minimizing cost, flow losses, minimizing weight for aerospace, or achieving perfect lengths (for example) in an automotive application can be easily solved.   Our customers enjoy the overwhelming advantages that automated tubing designs bring to their products and markets compared to older methods:  

Fast Design Times - Hours on Pentium Class CPU's
Automatic packaging constraints
Automatic length, flow or other simultaneous  optimizations
Lower cost production because exact solutions are provided
Minimization of material
And, much lower cost.

In short, because of its new technology, Spectrum5 technology enables faster design times and lower costs for almost any tubing or piping problem.


Our services include piping design software, tubing design software, piping design, tubing design, inverse nonlinear piping design problems, MatLAB tubing design, CAD Software piping, Solidworks export of piping and tubing designs.


"These software technologies will automatically design just about any kind of tubing or piping network imaginable...
 
Aerospace, pipelines, industrial/nuclear plant piping, waterslides, automotive exhaust header and intake design are among the initial applications -- all achieved at much faster design times and precision, but at a much lower cost than has been possible before."
