Class Summary

This class will highlight the main structural design and code check
workflows in a Plant environment
®
AutoCAD

We will focus on
Plant 3D (early stages steel members
®
®
design) and Autodesk Revit Structure (steel and concrete design)

Lastly, we will learn about workflows including finite elements and code

Introduction

Public impacted (people involved in Plant projects eager to share info,
to simplify their workflows and gain productivity, limit errors, etc…):
 Plant engineers/drafters/managers:
 Model the right way so info sharing is easier
 Understand quantities and price provided internally or externally
 Structure engineers need to model for Plant
 Understand piping designers modeling needs and simplify
workflows
 Piping designer/CAD managers deliverables needs
 Manage modifications (very time consuming)

3D MODELING & DOCUMENTATION
AutoCAD® Plant 3D
Design, model, and document process plants with
easier isometric and orthographic creation.
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
& DETAILING
P&ID DESIGN & DRAFTING
AutoCAD® P&ID
Autodesk® Revit Structure and AutoCAD®
Structural Detailing
Create, modify, and manage P&IDs, and
then reconcile underlying data with the
3D model.
Design and model 3D structural components
and structural details.
GENERAL DESIGN
& DRAFTING
EQUIPMENT & SKID DESIGN
Autodesk® Inventor
AutoCAD®
Model plant equipment and skids and import
to the 3D process plant model.
Design and draft with the powerful and flexible
features of one of the world’s leading CAD
tools.
MODEL AGGREGATION, REVIEW
& CLASH DETECTION
Autodesk® Navisworks
Aggregate models from multiple design packages,
visualize and share combined models, and identify
clashes.

AutoCAD Plant 3D: Early stages design

Steel members and grids design

Steel objects (stairs, ladders, plates, railings
etc…)

Plant steel adjustments (only for early stages
= not exportable)
®
Revit

Geometrical adjustments for

Early stages quantities (Plant steel and Excel)
+ cost estimation

®
AutoCAD Plant 3D: Design (other than structural)

Piping, equipment and supports
 dwg export (scope: geometry, visual clash
detection ,etc…)
 Congestion, boundaries, loads (supports and
equipment)
© 2012 Autodesk
Project organization

Zones, Windows files and P3D files

Best practice: use true position coordinates in your dwgs
 xref insertion point should always be origin (0,0,0) so connections
between xrefs keep their intelligence
®
®
 Export is easier (no need to change positioning in Autodesk Revit ,
®
®
Autodesk Navisworks , etc…)
