Smap3D P&ID | Software for creating P&ID flow diagrams

The creation of 2D flow diagrams (P&ID diagrams) in process engineering is the first, important step in the engineering of pipelines and plants. They form the basis for subsequent implementation in the 3D environment. It is therefore particularly important that all specifications can be clearly defined and passed on.

With Smap3D P&ID, you get an intelligent P&ID application with which you can create, modify, manage and check comprehensive P&ID diagrams based on a database and independent of the CAD system. Smap3D P&ID is based on the standards DIN EN ISO 10628 for Europe and ANSI/ISA 5.1 to 5.5 for the USA.

From a single drawing to an entire project: organize all relevant data, evaluations and checks in a single software package! Smap3D P&ID automates and simplifies recurring tasks. All drawing sheets, project sheets and reports are template-based and 100% configurable.

Symbol libraries and symbol generator

Smap3D P&ID contains extensive symbol libraries according to ISO/DIN and ANSI/ISA. You can also integrate your own existing symbols (2D geometry in DXF, DWG format) or create new company-specific symbols quickly and easily using the “symbol generator”.

When placed in a drawing, symbols can be scaled, are aligned to a snap grid and react logically when installed in a line. This means that the symbol is automatically rotated as required and the line is split.

“TAG numbers” and other properties are queried in an automatic dialog.

Component database

You can create any number of company and project-specific components in the component database. If the desired symbols are assigned to the components, not only the 2D symbol geometry is handled when placing them in a drawing, but all the component information is also automatically transferred to the project.

The necessary “TAG numbering” is requested in an automatic dialog. All available information can be visibly “derived” as labels on the drawing.

Dynamic lines (pipelines)

Our dynamic lines simplify the drawing and editing of lines enormously. The lines react to the installation or removal of symbols/components by automatically separating or closing them. Manual reworking is therefore not necessary.

The visual and logical display of the flow direction (arrows) can be easily switched on and off for the intelligent lines. All symbols already placed in the line are automatically reversed when the flow direction is changed. Lines can be changed (stretched, shortened, moved, etc.) using “handles”.

After assigning the line properties (line number, pipe class, DN, etc.), a drawn line becomes a logical line. All available information can be visibly “derived” as labels on the drawing.

With the intelligent PDF Export, you can make your P&ID projects from Smap3D P&ID accessible to everyone – without any specialized DWG- or DXF-compatible software. Simply select the pages you want to include in the PDF export, defining the setup and data scope (e.g. setting resolution), and choose which information to share depending on your audience.

Thanks to interactive links, clickable lists and component information displayed on right-clicking, your P&ID diagrams are easy to follow. All the functionality of Smap3D P&ID is available in the PDF, just without the ability to make changes.

This way, sharing and collaborating internally or externally with stakeholders becomes simple and efficient.
