This paper presents an automatic design algorithm for pipe arrangement based on equipment arrangement figure and pipe diagram. Firstly, a pipe arrangement design problem is proposed for a space in which pipes and objects co-exist considering branches of the pipes and valve arrangement. This problem includes large-scale numerical optimization and combinatorial optimization problems, as well as peculiar characters of pipe arrangement design. For these reasons, it is difficult to optimize the problem using usual optimization techniques such as Random Search. Therefore, secondarily, a genetic algorithm (GA) suitable for this problem is developed. Lastly, the proposed method for optimizing a pipe arrangement efficiently is demonstrated through computational experiments, and remarks are provided for applying this methodology to a practical pipe arrangement design.
