Research on Data-driven Automatic 3D Modeling Method for the Main Pipeline of Thermal Power Plants
Conventional 3D pipeline modelling is manually drawn,which is time-consuming and inefficient for large pipelines,and the quality of the modelling is constrained by the technical level of the drawer.Based on the data-driven and 3D modelling technology,CATIA software was developed to establish a pipeline information database and a pipe-line parts library,and a 3D automatic modelling method based on pipeline data information was proposed to realize au-tomatic pipeline drawing,automatic connection of parts and 3D automatic modelling of pipeline network system by cat-egorizing and analyzing pipelines and pipeline parts and formulating automatic drawing methods and connection rules,which improved the efficiency of pipeline 3D model design and modelling efficiency,ensure the unity and standardiza-tion of its design,help ensure the quality of model design and reduce the intensity of manual design.
