Autodesk AUTOCAD PLANT 3D 2010 User manual

AutoCAD®

Plant D 

D for the mainstream.

Project Setup

Use the project feature at the beginning of a project

to quickly enter pertinent information such as project

numbers and specs that will be used to drive creation

of piping and components. You can also identify and

add a variety of stock and custom components and

speciﬁcations, which will eventually populate the tool

palette when design begins. All this information can

be updated as the project progresses and then used

to generate reports.

A Better AutoCAD for Plant Design

Maximize productivity,

accuracy, and coordination

Designed speciﬁcally for process plant

engineers and designers, AutoCAD®Plant D

 helps increase productivity, accuracy,

and coordination to meet the challenges of

your complex plant design projects.

Increase design and engineering productivity

Training and startup time is minimal because

AutoCAD Plant D is built on the widely-used

and latest AutoCAD platform. Costly server-

based systems and database administration

are not required. AutoCAD Plant D’s

speciﬁcation-driven technology and modern

interface simpliﬁes modeling and editing of

piping, equipment, support structures, and

other plant components.

Ensure information accuracy and consistency

Within AutoCAD Plant D, underlying data is

directly exchanged between the D model,

P&IDs, isometrics, and orthographics to ensure

information is consistent and up to date. Search

and query for information and then easily

review and edit the data in the drawings.

Improve project team coordination

Materials lists and reports are easy to generate

and share with entire project teams. Portable

AutoCAD Plant D .DWG ﬁles can be opened

by other engineering disciplines with AutoCAD-

based software. The data can be exported

for integration into other applications like

stress analysis or spool generation packages.

For seamless design review, visualization, and

clash detection, AutoCAD Plant D models are

directly compatible with Autodesk Navisworks.

Workspace and User Interface

AutoCAD Plant D  features a user-friendly

interface, including a large drawing window,

intuitive desktop organization capabilities, and

quick access to the tools and commands you need,

helping you to ﬁnd your favorite tools faster, locate

seldom-used tools more eciently, and discover

new features with ease.

Design, model, and document

process plants with AutoCAD®

Plant D  software.

AutoCAD P&ID Integration

AutoCAD P&ID functionality is integrated directly

into AutoCAD Plant D. Using these capabilities,

you can create and edit piping and instrumentation

diagrams, then reconcile the underlying data with

the D model.

Speciﬁcations and Catalogs

AutoCAD Plant D helps streamline the placement

of piping, equipment, support structures, and other

plant components through spec-driven technology

and standard parts catalogs like ANSI/ASME (B)

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 meet

your project’s requirements.

Piping

From the initial spec through the ﬁnal design,

AutoCAD Plant D software optimizes the creation

and editing of spec-driven pipelines. With this

feature, you can route pipe, edit a line of pipe and

its component elements, and manage a system

of connections. You have the option to route pipe

semi-automatically or manually. As you route pipe,

additional components such as gaskets or ﬂanges

are added automatically.

Equipment Elements

This feature enables you to create, modify, manage,

and use equipment in your drawings. A comprehensive

library of standard equipment elements is available for

use from within the tool palette. You can add custom

content to your library as well.

Structural Elements

Use this feature to identify issues such as interferences

in your plant model. With it, you can parametrically

create a small set of structural elements, including

AISC steel members and structural trim, such as stairs

and cage ladders. You can also externally reference

structural drawings created in Autodesk®Revit®

Structure software, AutoCAD®Structural Detailing

software, and other applications.

Autodesk Navisworks Compatibility

AutoCAD Plant D models are directly compatible

with the Autodesk®Navisworks®family of products

for seamless design review, visualization, and

clash detection.

Construction Document Generation

From the D model, you can easily generate and share

isometrics, orthographics, and other construction

documents. Information is directly exchanged with the

D model, helping to ensure that your construction

documents are accurate, consistent, and up to date.

Report, Search, and Query

Use these features to search for, query, and

manipulate the data contained in drawings.

Generate materials lists and create reports based on

your particular search criteria. You can then export

the information as piping component format (PCF)

ﬁles for integration into other applications like

stress analysis or spool generation packages.
