Design, model, and document process plants with AutoCAD Plant 3D 2010. Built
on the familiar AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Plant 3D brings modern 3D design
to plant designers and engineers. Features like specification-driven design
and standard parts catalogs streamline the placement of piping, equipment,
and support structures. Integrated AutoCAD P&ID functionality enables
users to create and edit piping and instrumentation diagrams and reconcile
underlying data with the 3D model. Isometrics, orthographic, and other documents
are quick to generate and easy to share. Increase productivity, accuracy,
and coordination with AutoCAD Plant 3D.
Increase Design and Engineering Productivity
Training and startup time is
minimal because AutoCAD Plant 3D is built on the widely-used and latest AutoCAD
platform. Costly serverbased systems and database administration are not required.
AutoCAD Plant 3D’s
specification-driven technology and modern interface simplifies modeling and
editing of piping, equipment, support structures, and other plant components.
Ensure
Information Accuracy and Consistency
Within AutoCAD Plant 3D, underlying data
is directly exchanged between the 3D model, P&IDs,
isometrics, and orthographics to ensure information is consistent and up to
date. Search and query for information and then easily review and edit the
data in the drawings.
Improve Project Team Coordination
Materials lists and
reports are easy to generate and share with entire project teams. Portable
AutoCAD Plant 3D .DWG files can be opened by other engineering disciplines
with AutoCADbased software. The data can be exported for integration into other
applications like stress analysis or spool generation packages. For seamless
design review, visualization, and clash detection, AutoCAD Plant 3D models
are directly compatible with Autodesk Navisworks.
