By analyzing the design workflow of comprehensive pipe rack and the key issues in arrangement of pipeline cross-section

this paper discusses the emphases of the intelligent design platform or software development in comprehensive pipe rack area in theoretically

proposes the specific function conception for intelligent design platform or software

which includes introducing linear design ideas for comprehensive pipe rack

establishing the pipeline arrangement principle and pipeline cross-section evaluation standard

considering the density of the arrangement of the pipes

confirming and verifying the distance between pipelines

digitizing pipeline information and etc.All of these lay a solid foundation for the subsequent development of a collaborative and efficient intelligent design platform or software for integrated pipe rack.
