The following is a suggested workflow to intergrate PlantSPACE model with Bentley AutoPIPE and STAAD.
1. Create models in PlantSPACE.
2. Import PlantSPACE piping model to AutoPIPE
3. Import STAAD model to AutoPIPE (Structural model only).
Note: Models can also be imported from Bentley Structural into STAAD.
4. Export final piping loads to STAAD
5. Updated STAAD structural model
6. Export model via PipeLINK back into AutoPIPE
7. Piping model connected to final STAAD model in AutoPIPE.
8. Export model for clash detection.
9. Updated models as needed, until final design.
