Product Data Sheet AutoPLANT® Piping V8i AutoCAD-Based Piping Design and Modeling Projects 3D Modeling AutoPLANT Piping V8i provides 3D modeling capabilities through ObjectARX technology, using 3D objects to represent intelligent plant components. Components and drawing controlled data is dynamically linked to a shared external project database. The database information can be used to generate project reports, or to globally manipulate and revise the component data. Specification Driven AutoPLANT Piping V8i utilizes a “spec-driven” design approach, which maximizes quality by ensuring compliance with applicable design criteria. Dynamic database links ensure correlation between the graphical and descriptive data in the model. AutoPLANT Piping V8i includes hundreds of catalogs representing either industry standards (such as ANSI/ASME) or manufacturer-specific components (such as Crane & Ladish). These catalogs include hundreds of thousands of components that users can employ to create exact specifications for their project requirements. Components selected from the specification and placed in a design model are parametric objects with a high degree of intelligence. Flexible Operation Component placement in AutoPLANT Piping V8i is an intuitive process that automates common and repetitive tasks. Whether placing adjacent piping and components in congested plant areas or routing over large areas, automatic component placement and orientation options reflect standard design conventions and maximize productivity. AutoPLANT has always been easy to administer and operate. Powerful tools like the Project Administrator make the creation and configuration of projects easy and fast. Powerful Editing AutoPLANT Piping V8i is designed with the realities of the project in mind. Sections of piping can be edited to change the size or specification, and commonly used assemblies can be saved and inserted in other models or on other projects. 2D Orthographic Drawings The requirements for 3D model visualization are often different than the presentation of the same components to industry standard 2D plans and sections. Therefore, AutoPLANT Piping V8i produces 2D orthographic drawings with a variety of options, including single or double line with visible centerlines. All these options are easily controlled within AutoPLANT Piping V8i. The software supports the creation of orthographic drawings (plans, elevations and sections), using paper space view ports and exporting 3D model data to produce finished drawings. Drawing Flattener produces flat, two-dimensional drawings, including elevations, plans, and sections from the 3D model, allowing fast edits on construction drawings. Automatic Piping Isometrics AutoPLANT Piping V8i enables engineers to automatically generate piping isometric drawings complete with dimensional, annotation, and title block data. Advanced features also enable the generation of weld numbers, spool numbers, and center of gravity reporting on the isometric drawing. The import/export feature supports output to ISOGEN and AutoPLANT Isometrics V8i for the automatic generation of piping isometrics. Reporting A powerful report engine gives users a view into all their project data with output to industry standard formats such as HTML, Excel, and Word, as well as many common database formats. Configuring report formats to suit project requirements is easy using Crystal Reports. Integrated AutoPLANT Piping V8i works seamlessly with other Bentley plant design and data management applications via the shared plant project database. The 3D piping model is automatically integrated with the schematic “2D” data created using the Bentley® Datasheets, P&ID, Data Manager, or Instrumentation & Wiring applications. Powerful validation tools verify the consistency and completeness of the piping design compared to the P&ID. Integration of the Bentley plant project database with users plant and business systems makes the most of their valuable information investments. AutoPLANT Piping V8i is a “spec-driven” 3D piping design and modeling application that incorporates advanced routing and editing features for process plant design. Built on powerful, object-oriented technology, it is easy to use and customize, allowing users to interactively route and place piping components in an intelligent 3D environment.
