Pipework layout and analysis

Apparatus for generating a pipe layout for a platform, the apparatus comprising;

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory configured to store program code executable by the processor, the program code comprising one or more instructions, whereby to cause the apparatus to:
• receive design data representing a pipe geometry defining an initial pipe layout;
• generate, using the design data, geometry data representing a set of pipework runs comprising at least one pipe section for the pipe layout, a pipe section defined by a conduit comprising a point of ingress for the conduit in fluid communication with a point of egress for the conduit;
• determine, using the design data, a set of pipe layout features;
• generate, using the geometry data, an editable simulated pipe layout;
• receive data representing at least one of a component for the editable simulated pipe layout, an annotation for the editable simulated pipe layout, an additional pipework run, and a corrected pipework run;
• and
• generate, using the editable simulated pipe layout, output layout data defining the pipe layout for the platform.
