Within the development of the technology related to nuclear power plant, more and more attention have been paid on the design efficiency and reasonability. However, at present, the layout design of equipment in a typical nuclear power plant has always been carried out relying heavily on engineering experience, which is limited in the searching for candidate schemes and time-consuming. Thus, we propose an automatic layout method to realize the effective arrangement of equipment in nuclear power plant, in which some engineering concerns can be taken into account.
In the method, the digital model of each equipment with socalled double-space geometry was established according to the list provided by the user. The digital model servers to describe the geometric feature of the equipment to be placed in nuclear power plant. The algorithms of positioning were proposed to determine the relative position of each equipment to be arranged. By building the map for the path from one equipment to another, a shortest path combination will be determined among all possible paths based on the double-source shortest path algorithm. By applying this algorithm, the path for the workers in the nuclear power plant, or for the transportation of equipment can be determined accordingly. The results demonstrate and prove the feasibility of the proposed procedure.
