Hello,
I've searched long and hard for this and found a great thread from 2008 about animating pipes and it turned out it was a bit of a flame war for both camps.
I'm firmly on the position of no pipe animation because the system should have alarming, interlocking indication and a textual display of the state of the process/plant. If it runs phases, it should indicate the phase name and phase step which makes it easier overall to assess more than a pipe's state.
But I'd like to hear from the rest of you what you think and also if there's any standard documenting whether you should or shouldn't and why for both. Does anyone have more information or experience on this?
