Speed <strong>Design</strong> and Analysis of <strong>Plant</strong> Structures<strong>Design</strong> and detail steel structures with Autodesk ® Revit ®Structure and AutoCAD ® Structural Detailing software.Coordinate Piping and StructuresWith the structural design capabilities of theAutodesk <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Suite</strong>, you can importpreliminary structural models from AutoCAD<strong>Plant</strong> 3D into Autodesk Revit Structure for detailedstructural design and analysis. You can then bringback the detailed structural design into AutoCAD<strong>Plant</strong> 3D for visualizing the complete structuretogether with the piping.Autodesk Revit Structure software is anintelligent 3D modeling solution developed forstructural engineers, and it is included in thePremium and Ultimate editions of Autodesk<strong>Plant</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Suite</strong>. Revit Structure provides toolsspecifically focused on structural design, analysis,and documentation, helping teams to drivemore efficient designs, improve multidisciplinecoordination, minimize errors, and enhance crossteamcollaboration.AutoCAD Structural Detailing softwareis included in the Premium and Ultimateeditions of the Autodesk <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Suite</strong>.Built on the familiar AutoCAD platform, itsupports intelligent 3D design and modelingby extending structural design workflowsto fabrication, enabling a more efficient andaccurate process for creating fabrication detailsand drawings.Coordinate <strong>Design</strong> of <strong>Plant</strong> Equipment and SkidsTake advantage of Digital Prototyping to designequipment, skids, and complex components withAutodesk ® Inventor ® software.Align Equipment and Skids with Piping <strong>Design</strong>.With the equipment and skid design featuresof Autodesk <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Suite</strong>, you can import 3Dmodels from Autodesk Inventor into AutoCAD<strong>Plant</strong> 3D and intelligently connect to the piping.There is no need to remodel the equipmentand skids.Included in the Ultimate edition of Autodesk<strong>Plant</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Suite</strong>, Autodesk Inventor softwareprovides a comprehensive and flexible set of 3Dmodeling and mechanical design tools. With them,you can produce and document complete 3Ddigital prototypes that validate the form, fit, andfunction of every assembly you design. This helpsminimize the need for physical prototype tests,decrease the number of change requests, andreduce cycle times.
Combine Whole-Project <strong>Design</strong> Informationfor Comprehensive ReviewsCommunicate and Coordinate with Autodesk ®Navisworks ® software.Autodesk ® Navisworks ® software helps enableseamlesss design review and model aggregation.Autodesk Navisworks SimulateIncluded in the Autodesk <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Suite</strong>Premium edition, Autodesk ® Navisworks ®Simulate software enables whole-projectvisualization and design simulation.Autodesk Navisworks ManageIncluded in the Autodesk <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Suite</strong>Ultimate edition, Autodesk ® Navisworks ®Manage software includes all the featuresof Autodesk Navisworks Simulate plus clashdetection and problem tracking.Model and File AggregationCombine design, construction, and other projectdata from most 3D design or laser scan formatsinto a single, whole-project model.Real-Time NavigationExplore a whole project model using advancednavigation tools, including Walk, Look Around,Zoom, Zoom Box, Pan, Orbit, Examine, Flyand Turntable.Near Photorealistic VisualizationCreate 3D animations and imagery forpresentations. Customize and configure everyrender aspect, including materials, lights,backgrounds, and styles.4D SchedulingSimulate construction schedules and logistics in 4Dto help visually communicate, analyze, and validateproject activities and reduce sequencing problems.Clash DetectionHelp avoid potential problems beforeconstruction to minimize expensive delays andrework. View clashes in context of the model andin relation to other clashes. Manage and trackclashes from identification to resolution.Increase EfficiencyAdvanced tools can be used for collaborationand analysis of project information.Multidisciplinary, project-wide design datacreated in a variety of design and engineeringapplications can be combined into a singleintegrated project model for efficientwhole-project review.Reduce ReworkProject team members, clients, and partnerscan explore small design details to helpidentify errors before they occur.Stay on Budget and on ScheduleHelp minimize project risks by helping teamsto coordinate effectively, plan accurately, andidentify problems earlier in the project cycle.Create Real-Time 3D Presentations fromCAD Data with Autodesk ShowcaseWith Autodesk Showcase software, you canmore quickly and easily transform plant designsinto compelling imagery, movies, and realtimepresentations.
