AUTOFIT: COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF PIPING SYSTEMS

AUTOFIT is the name of a development project which was started in 1973 by Shipping Research Services A/S/ of Oslo, Norway. It is related to the problems of outfitting and, in particular, the design and production of pipe systems. A fairly big part of AUTOFIT will be designed and implemented as on-line systems. Typical batch operations, such as definition of a set of standards, will be run in batch mode. In subsystems where part of the information is graphical, the communication with the system will go through a graphical terminal. The first version of the system will be based on a TEKTRONIX 4014 storage tube connected to a UNIVAC 1110.
