Automated Decision Making in the Problem Solving of Objects Layout for Chemical and Refining Industries Using Expert Software Systems

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

In this paper, mathematical modeling of objects layout is considered for the phase of construction engineering of industrial facilities. The authors propose a new approach that allows to define the problem and to automatically create a mathematical layout model of the industrial facilities. The approach is based on a method of generating and controlling the limitations of the mathematical layout model. The distinctive feature of this method is the possibility to add new restrictions and to consider them in the process of layout calculations without changing the code. The proposed approach has been tested in solving practical problems of designing layouts of industrial facilities.
