Spatial Synthesis of Process Equipment Layouts

The article considers the main aspects of automated synthesis of technological equipment layouts based on the selected and fixed coding system. The necessity of spatial synthesis is emphasized in order to obtain a spatial model. The model is a functionally complete combination of a graphical image and geometric parameters, which are further used for analysis and optimization of the result. In essence, a digital twin of the layout of technological equipment, in particular a metalcutting machine tool, is synthesized.
