MPDS4 Piping

MPDS4 Piping is a piping design software offered by CAD Schroer. According to the vendor, it is specifically designed for mechanical engineers, piping designers, plant designers, construction companies, and the oil and gas industry. This software is aimed at small to large companies looking to efficiently design complex 3D piping systems for plants, factories, and large-scale projects.

Key Features

Fast and simple piping design in 3D: According to the vendor, this software enables quick and easy design of complex 3D piping systems for plants, factories, and large systems. It offers an extensive range of tools for selecting piping components, positioning, and replacement, as well as an integrated auto-routing tool for rapid pipe layout.

Advantages of designing your factory or plant with M4 PLANT: MPDS4 Piping addresses the entire design process for plant design and factory layout projects. According to the vendor, it provides rule-based quotation creation, integrated design, technical presentation, detailed design, and documentation. This software is said to enable faster project planning regardless of size and offers video tutorials, expert online support, and individual training courses.

Modules & functionality for all your needs: The modular structure of MPDS4 Piping allows it to be tailored to meet specific requirements. Individual modules cover a wide range of design disciplines, including site, buildings, 2D/3D layout, mechanical handling, cable routes, ducting, P&ID, pipework, piping isometrics, steel design, and 2D/3D design. According to the vendor, it offers a comprehensive range of advanced functionality to improve designs.

Extensive catalogues and comprehensive quality control: According to the vendor, the 3D pipework design in MPDS4 Piping is "spec driven" using project-specific specifications. It comes with extensive piping component catalogues for rapid design of entire pipe systems. The software also includes automated consistency and collision checking to ensure high-quality, error-free design. The vendor states that cost effectiveness can be checked at any time with reports and parts lists generated by the system.

P&ID integration, piping isometrics, and interfaces: This software supports P&ID-based design, using P&IDs as the basis for subsequent 3D design stages. It utilizes M4 ISO for creating piping isometric diagrams, automatically generating fully dimensioned piping isometric drawings at the press of a button. MPDS4 Piping also offers the ROHR2 interface for static and dynamic analysis of complex pipe systems, as well as additional 3D/2D interfaces for quick and easy data exchange with suppliers and customers.

Industry-specific tools for your success: The M4 PLANT system, including MPDS4 Piping, can be adapted to meet individual company requirements. According to the vendor, it offers extensive customizability, allowing automation of everyday design tasks for improved productivity and quality.
