PRODUCT DATA SHEET AutoPLANT Equipment V8i (SELECTseries 4) ® AutoCAD-based 3D Parametric Plant Equipment Modeling AutoPLANT® Equipment V8i enables quick and accurate 3D modeling of intelligent plant equipment, nozzles, ladders, platforms, and walkways. Complex custom plant equipment can be easily modeled from primitives. Parametric Equipment Design With AutoPLANT Equipment V8i, users can model plant equipment parametrically. Dialog boxes are presented with graphical representations of the equipment, along with data fields for each design criteria, enabling users to precisely model the equipment. As the plant design evolves or changes, updates can be applied to the design parameters and the 3D equipment will be graphically updated automatically. Uses parametric data to design equipment. Standard Equipment Types AutoPLANT Equipment V8i includes a wide range of standard plant equipment types such as pumps, vessels, and exchangers. Equipment can be selected from menus, palettes, or toolbars within AutoPLANT Equipment V8i and placed at defined locations, or relative to global reference points. Custom Equipment From Primitives Includes libraries of standard equipment types. Easily create custom equipment from intelligent primitives. Placing an equipment primitive defines the parent component, while attaching associative primitives defines the child components. Constructing equipment assemblies in this manner is similar to attaching nozzles to equipment. By modifying the vessel’s dimensional parameters, the nozzles will move accordingly. Similarly, modifying the parent primitive of an equipment assembly appropriately moves or sizes the child primitives. User Defined Equipment AutoPLANT Equipment V8i enables users to create plant equipment components from one or more existing AutoCAD or AutoPLANT Equipment entities in a drawing. These entities can be anything from an AutoCAD solid primitive to a complex component, such as a block or custom object. The user-defined equipment option brings legacy and other third-party equipment components into the intelligent AutoPLANT Equipment V8i environment. Intelligent Nozzles Allows users to report on equipment and nozzle data. AutoPLANT Equipment V8i provides a variety of options for placing and orienting nozzles using parametric information from external database specifications. Once a nozzle is placed on the equipment, the intelligence becomes available within AutoPLANT Piping V8i. With AutoPLANT Piping V8i, the user connects the piping components to the nozzles then, the pipe size, pipe spec, rating, facing, and line number are automatically carried over to the connecting piping component. AutoPLANT and Navigator Speed Design While Improving Results Bentley Navigator supports a tightly integrated project environment. The ability to distribute early 3D models to multiple stakeholders, have those team members dynamically mark-up edits, changes, etc., and feed that information back to the designer in an accurate and timely manner is critical to project success. Because Bentley’s models are intelligent, all tag information is shared between the two applications, so Bentley Navigator users can select a component and see all details the designer has defined. Reviewers can use Bentley Navigator to mark up a model and send comments directly back to the designer to review in AutoPLANT Equipment – providing an extra level of design review and an increase in project speed and accuracy. Designers gain an added advantage with AutoPLANT Equipment and Bentley Navigator. They can sync an AutoPLANT Equipment view to Bentley Navigator to see piping within the context of the full plant model, finding and resolving more clashes and optimizing layout to save time and money during construction. Software Integration Streamlines Workflows AutoPLANT Equipment V8i works seamlessly with other Bentley plant design and data management applications via the common, shared plant project database. The 3D piping model is automatically integrated with the schematic 2D data created using Bentley Datasheets, AutoPLANT P&ID, Bentley Data Manager, or Bentley Instrumentation an Wiring. Powerful validation tools verify the consistency and completeness of the piping design compared to the P&ID. Integration of the Bentley plant project database with plant and business systems makes the most of valuable information investments.
