AutoCAD Plant 3D Features and Benefits
Design, model, and document process plants with AutoCAD Plant 3D software. Built on the familiar AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Plant 3D brings modern 3D design to plant designers and engineers. Features such as spec-driven design and standard parts catalogs help streamline the placement of piping, equipment, and support structures. Integrated AutoCAD P&ID functionality and quick generation of isometric and orthographic drawings help increase productivity, accuracy, and coordination.
Increase Design and Engineering Productivity
AutoCAD Plant 3D is built on the widely used and most current AutoCAD platform, helping to minimize training and startup time. AutoCAD Plant 3D software’s specification-driven technology and modern interface streamline design and editing processes, helping to simplify modeling of piping, equipment, support structures, and other plant components. Costly server-based systems and database administration are
not required.
Improve Information Accuracy and Consistency
Within AutoCAD Plant 3D, underlying data is directly exchanged between the 3D model, process and instrumentation diagrams, and isometric and orthographic drawings to help keep information consistent and up to date. Search and query for information and then more easily review and edit the data in the drawings.
Enhance Project Team Coordination
Materials lists and reports are easier to generate and share with entire project teams. The portable AutoCAD Plant 3D DWG files can be opened by other engineering disciplines with AutoCAD-based software, or the data can be exported for integration into other applications such as stress analysis. For more seamless design review, visualization, and clash detection, AutoCAD Plant 3D models are directly compatible with Autodesk Navisworks software.
