0 0 L5C2 Robust Design methodology, together with
professional piping knowledge, industrial codes, and
Acoording to the sensitive matrix’s characters, expert experiences, can be applied to build up a
L3B2 = L4B2 = L5C2 knowledge-based expert system. As a general approach,
If using the robust design and analysis can achieve the design
M4x = R4y • L4C – W4C • L4C /2, goals by analyzing the design matrix of the performance
then the following expression can also be derived, function which indicates if obeys the independence
L3B2 = L4c = 2
L5C2 axiom and/or robust requirement. Thus, it is possible
The relationship is expressed as for such a system to automatically accomplish most
L3B2 = L4B2 =L4c = 2
L5C2 works which are usually done by both the designer and
Thus, the engineer. Then, the cycle time between layout
L3B = L4B = L4C = L5C design and stress analysis can be significantly reduced.
This is the condition for the design to achieve its
robustness. The result indicates that 3-B, B-4, 4-C, and Acknowledgments
C-5 have the same length. As shown in Figure 5, when
the physical structure is designed with L3B = L4B = L4C Authors would like to thank. NSERC, Fluor Daniel,

the development of this research.
