Start Easier, Run Better, and Finish Sooner with AutoCAD P&ID Use AutoCAD P&ID to help create, modify, and manage piping and instrumentation diagrams.
Start Easier Using the standard AutoCAD-based functionality, AutoCAD-trained professionals can start using AutoCAD P&ID with minimal training. Save Time Developed specifically for P&ID designers, AutoCAD P&ID includes a collection of tools to help automate and simplify many of the detailed design and editing tasks performed every day. Support Data Integrity Whether you need to generate indrawing reports or export information to other project team members, AutoCAD P&ID includes many features to help boostdata integrity in the face of ongoing design changes and modifications analysis.
AutoCAD P&ID software features simple drafting, editing, reporting, validation, and exchange of design information. Everyday P&ID work tasks are streamlined and automated to help boost productivity, while component and line information is more easily accessed and shared as you work. [. . . ] As you insert fittings, required connection components such as gaskets or flanges are added automatically. Specifications and Catalogs AutoCAD Plant 3D helps streamline the placement of piping, equipment, support structures, and other plant components through spec-driven technology and standard parts catalogs such as ANSI/ASME (B16) and DIN/ISO. When you need to create a spec, you can work directly with included content-rich catalogs, or you can modify the catalogs to better meet your project requirements. Spec Converter Import specs from third-party plant design applications such as Bentley® AutoPLANT® software. Construction Document Generation From the 3D model, you can more easily generate and share isometrics, orthographics, and other construction documents. Information is directly exchanged with the 3D model, helping your construction documents to be more accurate, consistent, and up to date.
Enhance Design Productivity Training and startup time can be minimal because AutoCAD Plant 3D is built on the widely used AutoCAD platform. Costly server-based systems and database administration are not required. AutoCAD Plant 3D software's specification-driven technology and modern interface helps simplify modeling and editing. Promote Accuracy and Consistency Within AutoCAD Plant 3D, underlying data is directly exchanged between the 3D model, P&IDs, isometrics, and orthographics to help information be consistent and up to date. Search and query for information and then more easily review and edit the data in the drawings. Improve Project Team Coordination Materials lists and reports are easy to generate and share with project teams. Portable AutoCAD Plant 3D DWGTM files can be opened by other engineering disciplines with AutoCAD-based software. The data can be exported for integration into other applications such as stress analysis.
Equipment Elements Create, modify, manage, and use equipment in your plant model. A comprehensive library of standard equipment is available from the Tool palette. Add custom content to your library and import Autodesk® Inventor® equipment models. Structural Elements You can also externally reference structural drawings created in Autodesk® Revit® Structure software, AutoCAD® Structural Detailing software, and other applications.
Communicate and Coordinate with Autodesk Navisworks Autodesk Navisworks aggregates projectwide design information for comprehensive project review.
Increase Efficiency Advanced tools can be used for collaboration and analysis of project information. Multidiciplinary, project-wide design data created in a variety of design and engineering applications can be combined into a single integrated project model for efficient whole-project review. Reduce Rework Project team members, clients, and partners can explore small design details to identify errors before they occur. Stay on Budget and on Schedule Project risks are minimized as teams coordinate effectively, plan accurately, and review problems early in the project cycle.
Autodesk® Navisworks® software and AutoCAD Plant 3D software are directly compatible for seamless design review, visualization, and error identification. Model and File Aggregation Combine design, construction, and other project data from most 3D design or laser scan formats into a single integrated, whole-project model. [. . . ] View clashes in context of the model and in relation to other clashes. Open identified clashes in many original design software applications, including AutoCAD Plant 3D. Manage and track clashes from identification to resolution.
Project Team Review Help communication and collaboration by extending the whole-project view to all stakeholders, including other design and engineering disciplines, clients, and partners. Organize and share camera views and export them into images or reports. [. . . ]
