PIPING ROUTE SEARCH DEVICE AND PLANT CONSTRUCTED USING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently create piping route data in which space for installing and operating a piping component is secured, and to reduce piping design time.SOLUTION: The piping route search device includes: an input part for inputting CAD data and start and end point data of piping; and a graph creation part for creating a graph for route search including start and end points of the piping based on the CAD data and the start and end point data of the piping inputted at the input part. The piping route search device also includes: an accumulated distance/component number totaling part for totaling up an accumulated distance and the accumulated number of components which can be arranged, from the start point based on the graph created at the graph creation part; and a display part for displaying the accumulated distance and the accumulated number of components which can be arranged at each node of the graph.
