Next, Xiaoqi will show you some 3D drawing renderings for your appreciation.
The discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of three-dimensional piping software has never stopped, and there is no clear conclusion at present. Because each software has its own advantages and disadvantages, it needs to be selected according to the company's situation and project characteristics. Xiaoqi made a simple comparison for everyone, and introduced the domestic three-dimensional software in detail, hoping to help you choose.
Abroad: AutoPLANT, PDS, PDMS, SmartPlant 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, CADWorx, etc.
Domestic: SPDA, PDSOFT, etc.
& gt& gt& gt& gtAutoPLANT and PDS:
Both of them belong to the old generation of 3D piping software. AutoPLANT is a pipeline design and 3D modeling software based on AutoCAD produced by Bentley Company. It stopped updating around 20 10, and remained in the version of CAD2008. It is definitely a lightweight software. The advantage is flexibility and stability, but the disadvantage is interface aging.
PDS is the first generation 3D piping software of Intergraph, based on Microstation platform, which is very popular. It still has a high market share. Now many large design institutes are using it. Its advantages are stability, precision and suitability for large and medium-sized projects. But its shortcomings have not been updated, and the interface and effect are outdated.
& gt& gt& gt& gtPDMS and Smart Factory 3D
PDMS and SmartPlant 3D are two leading softwares. The PDMS of Aveva Company came out very early, and its independent database and independent development language are always updated. Moreover, each designer can check what other designers are doing at any time during the design process, and all component information can be stored in the parametric component library. PDMS can automatically check the collision between components and professional design, thus ensuring the accuracy of design results as a whole. PDMS has the largest user base and technical discussion community in the world, and is suitable for medium-sized and large-sized projects with moderate prices.
SmartPlant 3D is the latest generation of intelligent factory design system of Intergraph Company. Windows-style operation interface is easy to use, and commercial database supports escort. Coupled with its high price, it is really the first choice. In addition, SmartPlant has a series of products and its own integration platform. If you want to do digital integration at the company or enterprise level, you can consider it.
& gt& gt& gt& gtCADWorx and AutoCAD Plant 3D
At present, two cost-effective products in the low-end market are based on CAD platform. The former formerly belonged to the Agricultural Development Committee. In 20 10, Intergraph acquired its whole set of factory solutions, including C ⅱ, PVELite and other software, making it the most popular solution in the low-end market at present, making up their market gap. P3D is the symbolic product of Autodesk entering the process factory industry. Launched in 2009, it was popular in China 1 1 12. However, due to instability, drawing quality problems, and the counterattack to the market after CADWorx reorganization, it gradually fell short.
(The above views come from the Internet for your reference and discussion. )
Foreign software developed earlier and has a higher degree of maturity, occupying a larger market share in China. But in addition to the high price, the training and upgrading costs are also very expensive. Many domestic software companies have been working hard for many years and have a good reputation.
SPDA 20 16
SPDA is a three-dimensional pipeline engineering design auxiliary system independently developed by Shanghai Paipin Software Co., Ltd. SPDA is based on AutoCAD platform of AutoDesk Company. The system has the functions of pipeline engineering data management, P & amp； ID process piping flow chart drawing, create a complete three-dimensional factory model (including workshop, equipment, platform, pipeline, support and hanger, air duct, cable tray, etc. ), collision inspection, collecting all kinds of data, automatically generating all kinds of plane (cross-section) layout and isometric drawings, etc. It is very suitable for domestic design institutes to design and apply pipeline engineering.

The 25 main modules not only cover all the design and drawing of pipeline specialty, but also include the functions of structure, pipe rack, air duct, bridge, instrument, section drawing, three-dimensional roaming interface, stress analysis interface, collaborative design, etc., which brings great convenience to designers of different professions and ensures the fastest and best engineering design.
Abandoning the cumbersome material library, automatic generation is as simple as that.
Because of the function of binding pipeline information with pipeline grade table, there is no need to establish a very complicated "material library" like foreign software, and the establishment of basic pipeline information is very convenient, and complete pipeline information is automatically generated according to the corresponding pipeline grade;
It is convenient to create projects and equipment.
