1. A method for electronically identifying changes between first and second piping models, comprising:
providing, by a controller device, access to a comparison engine configured to receive first and second piping models, wherein each of the first and second piping models comprises a plurality of component objects; comparing, by the controller device, parameters of each of the plurality of component objects in the second piping model with parameters of the plurality of component objects in the first piping model using the comparison engine to identify a set of component objects in the second piping model each having at least one modified parameter; analyzing, by the controller device, each of the modified parameters using an analysis engine coupled to a database of stored parameter ranges for a plurality of stored component objects; wherein the analysis engine is configured to (a) match each component object of the set of component objects with a stored component object, (b) compare the modified parameters of that component object with the one or more stored parameter ranges of the matched stored component object for each component object of the set of component objects, and (c) associate a priority value with each of the set of component objects using one or more algorithms as a function of a difference between the modified parameter and the stored parameter range; and configuring, by the controller device, a pipe model interface to present a subset of the set of component objects, wherein each of the component objects of the subset have a priority value greater than a threshold value, wherein the step of configuring the pipe model interface includes configuring, by the controller device, the pipe model interface to present, on a display unit of the controller device, the subset as a graphical overlay on the second piping model as a function of the priority values. |
