AutoCAD Plant 3D
3D Software for Plant Engineering
AutoCAD Plant 3D lets plant designers and engineers create P&IDs efficiently and integrate them into a 3D model for plant engineering. Using AutoCAD commands, steel structures can be planned faster, equipment modeled, and piping routed. Isometric, orthogonal and other views are generated directly from the 3D model.
Alongside this, auxalia offers PlantTools, which add further tools to make working with AutoCAD Plant 3D even more efficient.
AutoCAD Plant 3D is part of the AutoCAD toolsets.
Optimize and Automate Plant Design
Cross-Team Collaboration
Secure collaboration in a cloud-based shared data environment.
Faster Modeling
Faster, automated P&ID design and 3D modeling with context-based commands.
Automated Features
Automatic generation of piping isometrics directly from the 3D model.
3D Software for Plant Engineering, for Every Need
Industry-Standard Symbol Libraries
The Plant 3D toolset includes standard symbol libraries in its tool palettes, covering PIP, ISA, ISO/DIN and JIS.
Structural Modeling
Plan structural steelwork, stairs, ladders and railings using steel profiles that follow industry standards such as AISC, CISC and DIN.
Fast 3D Plant Modeling
Create 3D plant models in minimal time using parametric equipment modeling, steel libraries, and project-specific piping specifications with industry-standard piping catalogs.
Parametric Equipment Templates
Create and edit equipment using parametric templates, speeding up the creation of plant layouts.
Project-Specific Pipe Classes
Adapt piping specifications to project-specific requirements, drawing on industry-standard components as well as project-specific, custom components.
Orthogonal Drawings
Extract orthogonal piping drawings directly from the 3D model, and update them together with the model.
Automatic Project-Specific Reports
Define report formats for the project, and pull the data automatically straight from the 3D model.
Automatic Isometric Creation
Generate piping isometrics to industry or project standard directly from the 3D model.
Fast P&ID Drawing
Context-based AutoCAD commands make P&ID drawing simpler.
Collaboration for Plant 3D
Work across teams on plant models while meeting compliance requirements, all within a cloud-based shared data environment.
Data Validation
Spot potential errors quickly, since P&IDs can be checked for data consistency against customizable rules.
BIM Model Documentation
Create BIM models for the plant together with other disciplines.
AutoCAD Plant 3D Handbook
Built for Plant Designers
AutoCAD Plant 3D lets you plan, model and document 3D plants quickly and easily. This handbook is aimed at plant designers getting started with AutoCAD Plant 3D, giving them the knowledge to use it professionally in their daily work.
