Virtual machine piping joint development system and joint development method

摘要

Systems (100) and methods are provided that facilitate joint development of virtual machine piping. The processor (100) of the system is responsive to the input provided by the at least one input device (110) to generate a design of a piping path (120) composed of a set of elements, and the piping The distributed piping path (122) corresponding to the route can be stored in the data store (112). A distributed piping path can be constituted by data designating two end elements (502, 508) and a plurality of piping path links (604, 606), and these piping path links include a plurality of intermediate elements. Specify connections between (504, 506) and between each termination element and an individual one of the plurality of intermediate elements. The processor is further based at least in part on the distributed piping path stored in the data store and data representing the physical structure (116) of the termination and intermediate elements specified by the piping path link of the distributed piping path. The 3D representation (800) of the piping path can also be output to the display device (108).
