Smap3D Plant Design

Smap3D Plant Design is a software solution designed for plant and piping design. It caters to companies of various sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. This toolset is utilized by project engineers, P&ID designers, 3D designers, and electrical designers in industries such as process engineering, plant engineering, mechanical engineering, equipment and container construction, and environmental and water technology.

Key Features

PDM/ERP Integration: According to the vendor, Smap3D Plant Design seamlessly integrates with existing IT landscapes, allowing the transfer of BOM information from Smap3D P&ID and Smap3D Piping. It also offers integration with ERP systems for efficient article information exchange.

Connection to ERP Systems: The vendor states that Smap3D Piping can be connected to ERP systems via PDM connectors, enabling automated transfer of article information to Smap3D P&ID and Smap3D Piping, streamlining the design process.

Support for Any PDM/ERP System: The vendor claims that Smap3D Plant Design facilitates smooth exchange of document information through the PDM connector and allows transfer of article information from ERP systems to P&ID schematics using the ERP connector, regardless of the manufacturer, ensuring seamless integration with existing workflows.

Improved Planning in All Areas: According to the vendor, Smap3D Plant Design enhances planning processes in plant design, process engineering, and mechanical engineering industries. It offers efficient creation of 2D flow diagrams (P&ID), 3D piping models, pipe specifications, isometric drawings, and other documentation.

Tailor-made for Electrical Projects: The vendor claims that Smap3D Plant Design provides a comprehensive set of functions and automatisms specifically designed for electrical projects. It includes standardized IEC symbols, component database creation, automatic updating of lists, and generation of part drawings with article data.

Feasibility Check of Bent Tube Parts: The vendor states that Smap3D Plant Design allows a feasibility check during the design phase to map the mechanical structure of a pipeline, detect collisions with machine components, visualize bendability, and reduce drawing effort through automated creation of complete electrical documentation.

Efficient Transfer of 3D Scan: According to the vendor, Smap3D Plant Design enables the efficient transfer of 3D scan (point cloud) data into 3D CAD. It allows users to select standard geometry instead of importing the entire point cloud, process established formats from 3D scanners, and access precise scan data for faster response to design changes.

Dynamic Production Planning: The vendor claims that Smap3D Plant Design optimizes production units based on set-up time, waste, utilization, and material flow. It integrates with machines and automats for efficient production control and ensures complete documentation and traceability of production processes.

Flexible Data Management Options: According to the vendor, Smap3D Plant Design offers flexible data management options. It seamlessly integrates with existing PDM/PLM/ERP solutions or can be used as a stand-alone solution, providing versatility in managing project data.

Ideal Connection to Various CAD Systems: The vendor states that Smap3D Plant Design can be utilized as an add-on for Solidworks, Solid Edge, and Inventor, or as a stand-alone solution. It aims to ensure ideal compatibility and integration with various CAD systems to meet specific design needs.
