1. AVEVA E3D:

AVEVA E3D Design combines the latest 3-dimensional graphics and user interface technologies with state-of-the-art data management. Deliver your projects more quickly, by eliminating errors and rework, and collaborate more effectively with teams within your business and with your partners.

Harness the power of digital innovation in the real world. AVEVA E3D Design enables you to create tailored designs for your plant quickly and easily. Boost your productivity, and enable your workforce to deliver better plant layouts.

Complete everyday tasks easily, starting with the canvas, the reliance on explorers and the command line using modern graphical tools. Our intuitive user interface is highly efficient. Tools are easy to find and even easier to use. The Powerwheel makes it easy and quick to work through changes.

Piping, Supports and Structural workflows are streamlined and design creation and modification is quick and efficient.

E3D Design modules

• MODEL – interactive 3D design, consistency checking and Bills of Materials
• DRAW – production of scaled drawings from the 3D model
• ISODRAFT – production of piping isometrics from the 3D model

Business benefits

• Easy to adopt
• Rapid project start-up
• Design efficiency
• Rework-free construction
• Ensure compliance
• Reliable project execution
• Future-tolerance

Fulfils three essential requirements

• Enables clash-free, multi-discipline 3D design, and rapidly generate accurate drawings and reports to meet demanding project schedules.
• Reduces cost, timescales and commercial risks of both new-build
  and brownfield capital engineering projects and support users’ long-term
  development of efficient Lean Construction methodologies.
• Provides best-in-class project execution capabilities and the ability to collaborate with the extensive global community of AVEVA users.

   2. PDMS (PLANT DESIGN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) :

PDMS – Plant design & Management software developed by AVEVA PLANT:

PDMS (Plant Design Management System) is a popular software in the 3D CAD industry. It is easily customizable and supports multi-user and multi-discipline environment and is widely used for engineering, design and construction projects in offshore and onshore.

PDMS has modules for the design of equipment, piping, ducting, structure and cable trays. Visualization carried out using client-defined catalogues and specifications, in a full-colour shaded 3D environment, with the support of tools that ensure a clash-free design.

  3. SP3D 

Smart Plant – 3D (SP3D) is a modeling software used in the engineering sector for pipe designing. Multisoft Virtual Academy conducts SP3D online training for engineering candidates with an interest in the CAD domain and aspiring to establish a career in pipe designing. This SP3D training builds the skills required for executing detailed designing projects in power plants, petrochemical setups, oil and gas industry, and food and beverage manufacturing units etc.

After completing this Smart Plant – 3D online training, participants will gain proficiency in piping and structural modeling. Individuals will additionally become adept with the following:

• WEBS items, Templates, and style rules
• Space management and control points
• Piping hierarchy, piping routing and piping placing
• Isometric drawing extraction
• Grid/Coordinate System
• Equipment placing

Candidates will also understand how to identify nozzle orientation; execute solid and structure modeling; and create designs for structure components like slabs, walls, ladders, handrails etc.

SOFTWARE FOR STRESS ANALYSIS :

1. Intergraph CAESAR II is one of the widely using software for stress analysis of piping system.
