Data validation
Quickly identify possible errors by scanning P&IDs for data consistency according to user-definable rules.
3D modelling
-
Rapid plant modelling in 3D
Quickly create 3D plant models using parametric equipment modelling, structural steel libraries and project-specific piping specifications using industry-standard piping catalogues.
(video: 1.26 min.) -
Parametric equipment templates
Create and edit equipment using parametric templates to help you to create plant layouts faster.
-
Structural modelling
Lay out structures, stairs, ladders and railings using industry-standard steel sections including AISC, CISC and DIN.
-
Create project-specific piping specs
Customise piping specifications to meet project-specific requirements. Include industry-standard components as well as customised components.
Piping documentation
-
Create and edit piping orthographic drawings
Extract piping orthographic drawings directly from the 3D model and update them as the 3D model is being updated.
-
Automated production of piping isometrics
Create industry-standard/project-standard piping isometric drawings directly from the 3D model.
-
Automated project-specific reporting
Define report formats for the project and automatically populate the data directly from the 3D model.
-
BIM model documentation
Work with other industry disciplines to create BIM models for the plant.
