Plant design data consist of logical configuration, equipment specifications, 2D P&IDs, and 3D shape data.
ISO 15926 Process Plants is an international standard for the integration of plant lifecycle data. Few studies
on the ISO 15926-based 3D shape representation have been reported in comparison with logical configuration,
equipment specifications, and 2D P&IDs. In this paper, neutral data models available for the representation of
plant’s 3D shape data are analyzed. And an approach for the ISO 15926-based 3D shape representation is
suggested.
