Intelligent 3D-Pipeline Planning
With Smap3D Piping
Smap3D Piping is the 3D-CAD software for fast, easy planning of complex 3D piping systems for mechanical engineering, tool production and plant design.
Smap3D Piping provides integrated software solutions for the best plant design process chain:P&ID diagrams over 3D-plan to isometric drawing!
Recommendation
“Using Smap3D Piping in conjunction with the 3D CAD system Solid Edge, we are able to achieve fast developing times and can react quickly to the market’s new requirements. The combination of Smap3D Piping, the Smap3D Plant Design Library and Smap3D PartFinder makes this an extremely valuable solution for us. Apart from savings in development time, errors are avoided. This investment also helps us to avoid expensive reworking when assembling the plant."

3D-CAD software Smap3D Piping provides users with a comprehensive
3D-standard parts library and multiple intelligent functions. Another special feature – operating with pipe classes:
3D-pipe systems development? Easy - with pipe classes!
The basic aspect of Smap3D Piping is the implementation of pipe classes with 3D pipe system construction. With pipe classes, the affiliation of components (fittings, flanges etc) is uniquely defined in line with particular company or project specifications for pipe system characteristics (diameter, medium, etc.) This central definition circumvents potential faults by the user and saves time in each application, thereby achieving a high level of process security.
Significant reduction of work for the 3D Pipeline planner:
- Successful creation of the desired pipeline routing with the 3D-CAD system
- After selection of the pipeclass and further pipeline characteristics, e.g. diameter and pressure, Smap3D piping generates the complete pipeline automatically, thereby adopting the placing of fittings from the standard parts library as well as the generation of required pipes.
- Alterations during the 3D-pipe system process are automatically updated.
